• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was actually still listing the facilities. Others are roads, sewers, electricity, telecommunication networks and a well integrated security system, among others. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as concerns progress up to date, I would like to inform the House that the Government has made tremendous progress and has already achieved the following towards establishment of the park. 1. identified and purchased 5,000 acres of land; 2. hired the International Finance Company (IFC) as the lead transaction advisor; 3. demand assessment and feasibility study is already done; the master plan is ready; the virtual model is in ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as indicated earlier the Government has given us Kshs1 billion for the purchase of land, that we did in the last financial year. This year the amount is Kshs400 million which will be used for development of basic infrastructure, marketing of the country as a BPO hub and to meet the consultancy services on demand assessment and feasibility study, development of the master plan and the virtual model. The Government is talking to development partners to provide funding to some of the Government activities towards the establishment of this park. The amount allocated for this year is ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya is already a hub of transport, ICT and everything. Kenya is actually positioned as a hub, but now we are trying to tell the world that apart from all that, Kenya is set to be an international hub and destination for ICT and the new technology of today. One of the things that we have taken as a project is business process outsourcing. That is already happening in this country. In private hands, there are call centres and back offices which are working for international organizations as we speak. We are encouraging more to come in ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even Wikileaks is in the public domain, but that does not make it really our own information. That is information out there. There is no controversy on the Malili land. The Government has a title deed for it. It is ours to develop. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Could the hon. Member repeat the question? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to revisit also the issue of google and say that if that story still exists, google needs to know that, that it is not true. The Malili land belongs to the Government. The Government of Kenya has no controversy whatsoever and the land belongs to the Government. The google can correct that, so that it does not misinform the world about something. To get back to the last question, this will be a Public/Private Partnership (PPP) project. We will use the model of PPP, where the Government provides land on lease to investors and all ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although Tatu City is a different project from this one, the Malili Project is going to be a technology city with infrastructure and amenities for all. It is going to be a specialized economic zone. So, the other one will be a city of residence and businesses. But it is going to encourage businesses that will influence both cities, because the people who will be working in Malili could be also having activities in the other city. But this is just an encouragement to Kenyans that this country is gearing itself for great things and joining the ... view

• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I profusely apologize for coming late. The Question had been fully answered and the only thing pending was the tabling of the Curriculum Vitae of the Board members and I hereby table them. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a Question by Private Notice. I am sure it has been on the Order Paper many times. If you look at the HANSARD you will find that as of last week, I had offered to read the Question all over and the Chair ruled that it was not necessary and I only needed to bring the CVs. I have the answer if you would like me to read it. I do not understand the hon. Member when he talks about gross misconduct. Not everybody who qualifies as a radio engineer also qualifies to be ... view
