• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe this Question was meant to show how May 2, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1077 soon Mt. Elgon National Park will begin attracting tourists, because tourism is a foreign exchange earner for this country, and actually can enable that part of the country to develop. So, could the Assistant Minister tell us when they expect it to start receiving a lot of tourists and how they plan to go about it? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya's fish is one of the best in the world and the rest of the world now wants fish because it is one of the best kind of meat in terms of human health. Could the Minister, truly, tell us when he is going to position Kenya to give these very good fish to the rest of the world by bringing this Bill as soon as possible? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I am not a military person, but I am a Kenyan who cares about the image of this country internationally. 1088 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2007 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it appears that while the rest of Kenyans sit back hoping that our international relations and foreign affairs are doing well, there are people who are actually working towards promoting the integrity of Kenya. However, there are some fishy things that go on out there. This is something that many Kenyans do not know. When some of ... view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) why there are so many power black-outs in the country in the recent past; (b) whether he is aware that this is causing damage to property and loss of revenue when businesses go without power; and, (c) whether he could inform the House what plans the Government has to expand the power base so that all Kenyans have equal access to electricity. view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister consulted me so that he could bring a comprehensive answer. view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very good Report. The Report is very comprehensive despite the fact that we were represented by only two hon. Members. Let me also commend my colleagues for their very good compliments for this Report, and the comments they have made. I have noticed that in this Report there is an addendum highlighting the situation in Kibera slums. A fact finding mission was set up by the ACP Parliamentary Group to actually come and visit Kenya in May, 2005. It seems that the Report was, ... view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of that rule after being in this Parliament for four years and being in some delegations going abroad. view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: I am not complaining. I am just taking note that Kenya was the key issue in that particular meeting. I am also aware that there have been delegations of more than two Members. But they reserve seats for only two Members. You may be there with two seats, but have more Members listening. So, we should have more Members listening so that, when we come back, we can engage our colleagues more. I agree with that. I also hope that, as we change rules--- We must change rules. The issues are so critical and different. We cannot just go on ... view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: So, I would like to believe that we have learnt a lot from this Report. It even talks about Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). If I asked hon. Members here whether they know how far we are in meeting MDGs as a country, I am sure they have no idea because nobody has called them to teach them about MDGs. So, it is not good enough for two hon. Members to go out there to represent Kenya, bring the information and we debate it here. However, I believe that, as Parliamentarians, it is our responsibility to be proper leaders; to be ... view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We do not have Quorum! view
