• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have just said that the Bill of 2008 mandates us--- view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think some points of order should just be overruled. This is because before there was an Act, there was a Bill. These things are, therefore, interchangeable. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for protecting me. Questions are supposed to be used to get information not to argue. However, I will still answer my friend. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fibre optic cable is going to translate into a bulk of capacity for internet users; something called broadband. It is going to have a bigger capacity. You will have more lines. You will be able to have faster communication and eventually it is going to be cheaper. It is beautiful for this country to know that this is the first time in this country that we will now have ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Mbadi, hon. Member for Gwassi Constituency, while seeking a Ministerial Statement from my Ministry, complained that the people of the Greater South Nyanza region have not been able to access Radio Maendeleo, Radio Lake Victoria and Radio Namlolwe in some areas and in some cases television signals other than those of Royal Media Services. He attributed the problem to the erection of boosters in Homa Bay, Siaya and a transmitter in Migori. Mr. Mbadi sought the following clarifications:- (i) If the installation of those gadgets was approved by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK); (ii) ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I may, I will remind the hon. Member that this is not Question Time. He is supposed to be seeking clarifications on my Statement. The only people qualified to investigate this issue will be the CCK. This is the only regulator we have for this kind of thing. They have the equipment. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not even allowed to lose faith in the hon. Member. As much as he is really asking Questions that I cannot deal with, I cannot afford to lose faith in him! How can he lose faith in the only regulator we have in the country? Maybe now, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at this point, the hon. Members should declare their interest in this matter because I have said that the CCK has taken up the matter. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me explain what the CCK has to do--- view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is subject to the same Statement. I have not lost faith in the hon. Member. I believe him when he says that he has no interest, but he has to believe me as well when I say that there is no other person who can investigate this matter except the CCK. We cannot afford to lose faith in the CCK. It is like losing faith in Kenyatta National Hospital or the institution of Parliament! So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that the CCK has undertaken, in ten working days from now, ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I seek your indulgence on the matter to assure the hon. Member that it is in his best interest and the best interests of the people of South Nyanza that we are doing this, so that nobody can ever seek to cause interferences that are harmful because everybody is entitled to communication. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know which part of that clarification I am going to respond to; at least not the last part, because the question that I was asked is about radio. But that question about sexual abuse that she is raising must go to somebody else. I can make it known on--- view
