• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that contract, as a legal document, may not have bestowed on Lipton Tea a monopoly status. However, by the forces of market dynamics, Lipton Tea being part of Unilever, one of the biggest growers of tea and buyers at Mombasa Tea Auction. It is what was actually Brooke Bond, which is now Unilever Tea. By giving them this additional opportunity to market KTDA tea through this agreement, we are bestowing on Lipton, or Unilever, monopoly control over Kenyan tea! This may not have been stipulated in the agreement but, obviously, that is what will happen. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Development when he would publish and introduce in the House the Kenya Fisheries Development Authority Bill. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the outset, I want to say that the Minister is a good friend of mine. However, in 2003, the Minister and I toured Seychelles and South Africa. At the end of it, a policy Paper was developed and approved by stakeholders. That is more than three years ago. When, specifically, will the Minister table this particular Paper to the Cabinet for approval? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the Minister has discussed relates to the fisheries in Lake Victoria which account for 98 per cent of Kenya's fish exports. The entire 200 nautical miles exclusive economic zone in the Indian Ocean is entirely in the hands of foreign fishing vessels numbering an average of 100 at any given time. This exploitation of our Indian Ocean resources by foreign fishermen is as a result of lack of legislation and an institutional framework. Could the Minister tell this House approximately when the Bill will be brought on the 1032 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2007 Floor ... view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The Minister is deceiving the House. I have never served as a Deputy Minister in that Ministry, but I thank him for his good wishes. view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will make only a few remarks. First, even as I stand to support this Motion, the reduction or adjustments, as they have been presented, ought to be rationalized. For example, when we debated the allocations to the various roads in various districts, there was an outcry that some districts were given substantially more allocations for roads than other districts. I will give you an example of my own district, which was given Kshs3 million, whereas some districts were given nearly Kshs1 billion. April 24, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 853 view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On page 230 of the Supplementary Estimates, Development Vote, a mere Kshs3 million which was allocated for civil works under the Ministry of Roads and Public Works has been further reduced by Kshs2 million, leaving only Kshs1 million for roads in Suba District. The amount has been reduced from Kshs3 million to Kshs1 million! Whereas if you look, for example, at page 222, you still have a net increase for roads--- And I have no grudge against Embu District, but there is a net increase in the allocation for roads in Embu District worth Kshs122 million. view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, where is the rationale behind this? view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to clarify one thing: He has talked about the Government giving subsidies for electricity consumers. My understanding is that, because KenGen had come to an agreement with the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) to buy electricity at a certain amount and in order to sustain the viability of the next offer on KenGen shares, we are sustaining that agreement by not allowing KenGen to sell at a lesser price. That is what they are offering to do so that they can continue to pay the KPLC the same amount, ... view
