• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are voting against a flawed process. We are not voting against any Member who went for the interview. I think the report of the Committee is very clear that these members are eligible to reapply and go through a process which is full proof and I think that is what we are saying. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: What is clear again from the report of this Committee is that the selection panel misled the President and we are not voting against the President by voting in support of this Motion. It is in support of the Committee’s recommendation that the selection panel has to be overhauled in its entirety because they clearly misled the Executive in arriving at this decision. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing which is very glaring in this process is that we are killing the spirit of transparency in the institution that is the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). It is comical that the youngest member nominee in this list is 53 years old. Where are the youth of this country who can serve and make sure that we have a clear institutional memory within TSC to make sure that the education sector is well grounded? view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we want to say that the process was arbitrary, ridden with impunity and a process where Parliament is being taken for granted and being taken as a rubber stamping institution and that is what we are voting against. I believe I am the last speaker to contribute to this Motion and I support one hundred per cent. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. I would like to start by saying that it is a very important and relevant Motion to Kenya at this time, when we are all talking about the need to enhance our GDP. Focussing on one of those very easily forgotten sectors is consolidating our efforts. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: As we know, milk is very important food and commercial product. The high cost of farm inputs facing small-scale milk producers comes out as a very strong deterrence to them in milk production. We know that besides being a product of commercial value, milk is also staple food for some communities, if not for many communities in Kenya. I must say that I grew up on milk. So, besides being of commercial value, milk is of nutritional value. It is, indeed, a very important food product. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to add another perspective in supporting this Motion. Looking at it from a gender perspective, women in this country are at the centre of food production in many respects. For example, in the agricultural sector, women are at the centre of food production yet they own none of the agricultural assets or even the products that come from their food production business. Milk is very unique. It is the only product over which women in the rural areas have full control. They know how much milk should go out for sale and how ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, in support of this Motion, I would say that besides just reviewing the prices of milk, and in addition to value addition and improvement of the sector, we also need to ensure that prices of farm inputs are subsidised. We need to support small-scale farmers by providing them with milk coolers and the necessary education in order for them to improve their yield. As I said, it is a key contributor to enhancement of our GDP. Focussing on this sector means job creation and economic empowerment for women, the youth and the marginalised communities in this country, who focus ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
