• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see that in part “a” of my Question, the Minister says that Ruiru Town lacks a conventional sewerage system, yet, there is none at all. There is no sewage system. So, is she convinced that one extra sewage exhauster to cover Githurai, which is in Ruiru, Kahawa Sukari, and Ruiru Town itself, is adequate. Is she satisfied that one exhauster will stop sewage flowing into the river? view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now, you see the frustrations the Minister is going through. She is saying that this bit about the sewage can only be answered by the Minister for Water and Irrigation. This is why the Question was referred to the Prime Minister. Now, we do not have a conclusive answer. Would it be in order to request you to defer this Question for the Prime Minister to be able to come to the House and answer it properly to the satisfaction of the House? view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. The Minister has said that there has been consultation, but I am aware that the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources has not been consulted. I went to the Ministry yesterday, and the person in charge ordered that a site visit takes place tomorrow. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not the Minister for Public Health who has not been consulted. I referred to the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the person in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources has ordered a site visit to take place tomorrow. May I request that the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation accompanies the team that will go and see one of the tributaries of this river, from which it is not water that flows but rather, something which looks like crude oil? Children and women swim in that water. Can we--- view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to request a visit by the Minister? view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to correct the impression that I said there were no consultations. I did not say that there were no consultations. I said that the consultations were not good enough, because something is going on. I am now aware that the Minister is aware. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Since the Minister has undertaken to go and find out how much money is available, could we get a timeframe within which she will report back to the House? What immediate action does the Ministry intend to take? The part of the Question that you have deferred is the main bit; it is about sewer flowing into the river. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for that Statement, I would like him to clarify the following. He has said that those who are collecting money are doing so illegally. For example in Thika, the Municipal Council is collecting Kshs1,000 from every group. We also have cartels which are collecting Kshs100 for every member who is registered. What will the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance do to stop this menace? I understand that this is coming from a senior officer in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the story of the Minister. He is the one who issues permits, and he has said that it is Government policy not to issue permits for jobs that Kenyans can do. If you go around all the big supermarkets in this Republic of Kenya, you will find Asian young men commonly referred to as “rockets” working there. They are doing normal jobs like attending to a till, yet this Minister has issued them with permits. view
