• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer he has given, I want him to elaborate further. He said that there will be a slight drop in the production of maize in this country by less than a million bags. He also clearly said in his answer that 64,000 hectares of maize that was planted was destroyed by the disease. How can that be possible? view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House by using acres and hectares? He is now using acres. For your information, one hectare is equal to 2.5 acres. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in all the actions that the Assistant Minister has mentioned that he will take to ensure that this country is food sufficient, he has not indicated that the use of biotechnology is very important in the production of food. Countries like China and India have been able to produce their own food because of using biotechnology. How come this Government and this Ministry are not ready to view

• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard the Minister say that the clean water is about 15 kilometers away from Kargi Location. My question is: Why can the Minister not use the Kshs30 million to bring the clean water to Kargi rather than use the money to make water pans and we know very well that in that area, rain is very erratic and unreliable? view

• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the comprehensive answer he has given after he had almost two months to get it. However, listening to the Assistant Minister, it is clear that he is indicating indirectly that there will be need to make part of the Nairobi National Park part of the southern by-pass. Could the Assistant Minister confirm, and assure this House, that nothing will be done unless the matter is brought to this House so that the House gives authority for granting of any easement or de-gazettement of Nairobi National Park? view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is clear from what the Assistant Minister is saying that there is still a problem and yet he seems not to be giving us the true picture of what is happening. I would like the Assistant Minister to table a real authenticated map of Nairobi National Park certified by the Ministry of Lands with the exact beacons so that this House is very sure that what he is telling us is correct. That way, in case he ever comes back to this House to ask for any easement, we shall be able view

• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me, first of all, to thank the Minister for a very comprehensive answer. The proposals he has given are really valid. But I wish he would comment on the following. Given that NEMA, which has been given authority by the Scrap Metal Act to enforce it has no police, how can it enforce the measures against the vandalism of transformers, scrap metal, mabatis and road infrastructure? It does not have the capacity! It is only the Minister who has the capacity to arrest these criminals. view
