• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: He is well represented! view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. 2624 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 9, 2008 (a) No, I am not aware that the rehabilitation of Pumwani-Kipanga Street (formerly Wood Street) in Eastleigh Estate has stalled. The constructor is on site but the following factors slowed down the rehabilitation process:- (i) We have the perennial over-flow of sewer of the construction works along Pumwani- Kipanga Street. (ii) The occasional dumping of garbage on the road by the residents. (iii) The post-election violence that took place between January and February this year. (iv) Some showers during the months of April. (b) The Government through ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the sewerage system, as designed in the late 1930s, had not been planned to incorporate the large number of residents who have been attracted to Eastleigh. As a result of lack of funds, the CCN and the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company have identified the weak section which is going to be redesigned and expanded. We hope that once this is done, in the absence of a total rebuilding of the whole sewerage system in Nairobi, it will be sufficient and adequate. However, obviously, the long-term solution is to expand the sewerage system ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that used to be a problem in the past. We have now given strict instructions to the resident engineers and local authorities that they must not only supervise the work but they must also be done in accordance with the specifications. We have also noticed that we have been let down by our fellow African contractors; a few of them do not do a good job. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have also said that, that will no longer be taken to account and every contractor will be put to strict work as specified. They must complete them. ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a courageous man and I have no fear of Standing Orders. The revised completion date is 11th November, 2008, and the constructor has been told that this date will not be extended under any circumstances, and that if he will not have completed the work 100 per cent by that date, then the contract will be terminated. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we can issue it on Tuesday next week. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you will recall, during the swearing in ceremony of Members of Parliament, which was recorded in the HANSARD and even the live broadcast, the Mover of this Bill, Mr. Namwamba, refused to swear allegiance to the President. Indeed, he is on record that he swore allegiance to hon. Raila. The purpose of this Bill is actually to remove the Prime Minister from being the Prime Minister himself. Is it in order for the hon. Member, based on the principle of estoppel - once you have raised something, then you are stopped ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this very important Bill. Before I do that, let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for having been appointed to this Ministry. I have not had a chance to congratulate him. I thought I would do that during the Vote of the Ministry, but I think I now have the opportunity. Secondly, I thank the Minister for requesting me to second this very important Bill. I would also like to commend the staff of the Ministry, the Parliamentary Departmental Committee that dealt with this SACCO Bill at length, all ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: The future is, indeed, in co-operative societies. As soon as the Authority is formulated, it should come up with basic minimum services, for example, the provision of ATMs. I know it is only the major SACCOs that have the ATMs. However, if the Authority was to assist the SACCOs, then they would come up with an alternative like the Kenswitch which the banks are using. We could have SACCOswitch for the co-operative societies. Every SACCO would then have an ATM. If you go to the banking hall at Harambee SACCO, you will realise that it is so crowded. If they ... view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second this Motion on Political Parties Rules. I have read the rules and I am sure that all the hon. Members have also read them. I think they are very clear and specific. In addition, these rules were formulated by the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK). Then after that, they gave people an opportunity to look at them. So far, I think all the political parties have looked at them and they are in agreement. These rules must be seen in the context of the Political Parties ... view
