• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank, you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member for Malava, Mr. Shitanda, had asked for a Ministerial Statement from my Ministry regarding the Ministry's decision to ban matatus from accessing the Central Business District (CBD). According to the hon. Member, the decision has left many commuters inconvenienced, with some having to walk over five kilometres to their places of work. I beg to give the following Ministerial Statement:- As hon. Members are aware, the City of Nairobi has been experiencing severe vehicular congestion as well as an increase in the number of hawkers operating within the CBD. This has frustrated ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To answer hon. Shitanda, the idea was, indeed, to decongest the city and, ultimately, that means that the matatus will be using less fuel because of travelling shorter distances. However, I would just like to remind hon. Shitanda that the transport sector in this country is largely dominated by the private sector and, hence, my Ministry has really no authority to dictate the prices. That is why I March 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 365 actually referred to the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system that is part of the long-term transport solutions for this city where, ... view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Clauses 5 and 10 have already been accepted by the House. So, again, this is a house-keeping issue to make sure that the three clauses read exactly the same. view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: also proposing to move an amendment. But I believe that is what we had agreed with the Committee; that the Commissioner will consult with the industry. view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: has consulted with the industry. That is my understanding of what we agreed with the Committee and we brought this amendment on that understanding. I would rather that the Committee does some consultation - which is happening - in order to support what we had agreed on and, therefore, withdraw what they have proposed. view
• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Minister". We are working at modalities to ensure that by the time the Bill comes into effect, all the attendant preparations are in place. Those attendant preparations have not been finalised to a point August 23, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3435 where we can put it into effect without causing a lacuna. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister said that consultations are still ongoing. Where are these consultations taking place and with whom because for the last month plus, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is yet to convene that meeting? We have not been informed of any meeting in the last six weeks. So, there are no consultations taking place. If there are; could he, please, tell us where and when they are taking place? view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister accuse an hon. Member of this House of knowing the whereabouts of official Government documents. The rules of this House are clear. If the hon. Assistant Minister has evidence that Mr. Raila has taken official Government documents and kept them in his private possession, he should table documentary evidence. If he has no such evidence he must withdraw that statement. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion that the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill be adjourned in line with the position put forward by Mr. Muite. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also a member of the Committee that comprises both sides of this House. It is chaired by none other, as has been stated, than the Leader of Government Business, who is also the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. At a meeting where we drew up the agenda of that Committee, the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill was one of the items that ... view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Political Parties Bill, as introduced and moved by the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. This Bill is long over due. As we are all aware, Kenya returned to multi-party democracy in 1992, with the removal of Section 2A of the Constitution. Since then, we have yet to come up with a clearly defined law on how political parties relate within each other, with one another and, ultimately, with the nation as a whole. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a result of having no clear law, there ... view
