• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you can see that even the Member is not serious about this matter. This request was made a month ago and he is still talking of three weeks. We are talking about the issue of food security in this country. Is he serious? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I need you to intervene in this matter because it appears that the Member is not serious about this question. This question was asked a month ago. Those of you who have been reading in the Press can see that there is an impending famine. This House needs to know what decisions the Government is going to take. The Committee seems to be not caring at all. So, I need your intervention, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board was created and tasked with spearheading the development of nuclear energy in the country; deeply concerned that the construction and maintenance of a nuclear plant is a highly technical, expensive and risky undertaking that potentially exposes a country to the threat of nuclear radiation and the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: challenge of disposal of radioactive nuclear waste; further aware that due to this inherent risks in nuclear energy production many of the developed countries like Germany, India, Japan, and South Africa, amongst others, have increasingly embarked on the systematic shut down of their nuclear plants and instead are promoting development of clean renewable energy, especially wind and solar energy, this House resolves that the Government stops any further investment in the development of nuclear energy and instead invests in the development of renewable, or green energy, which is safe and abundant in the country. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to congratulate my good friend, Jamleck Kamau. This is indeed a good Motion and you are setting a stage for this House. Let us bring Motions in this House which are going to bring discipline to this country because there is a lot of financial indiscipline in this country and this is the start. I wish I was here earlier. I would have liked to indicate that this should apply to the East African region and not only in Kenya because you can fly anywhere in East Africa within 45 minutes. ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you look at the county governments, I do not think with their current behaviour we are going to achieve any development because most of the money that is being given to the county governments is just for them to travel. There is just too much travel. So, we must curtail. If they have to travel, let them do it in their own counties and spend the money there but most of them are travelling to Mombasa. So, let us be prudent in spending our money. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First of all, I want to take this early opportunity to thank the Leader of Majority Party for that elaborate Statement on the status of the San Marco Space Application Centre in Ngomeni, Malindi. While I appreciate the Statement, I want to tell this House that the Statement has not given the way forward for this very important centre for this country, particularly as regards the agreement of 1995. The agreement was very elaborate that after the expiry of the agreement between Kenya and Italy, all the equipment and the services of that centre would revert ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Kenyans who have a lot of expertise in space science? Some of them are currently working at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), at the European Space Agency and at the India Space Agency. This country has spent billions of shillings to educate those experts. Since Kenya is unwilling to set up its own space agency, those highly trained Kenyans continue to serve other countries that are very advanced. So, my question is: Why is the country not willing to set up a space agency quickly through a Presidential order? view
