• 4 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am well informed. There is a language issue here. When it comes to the fishing gear, it is a compliance issue. It has nothing to do with the ban. So, for compliance, if you like, you can call it a ban. On the fishing gear, it is meant for fishermen to comply. I cannot consider that as a ban. Thank you. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c) of the National Assembly, Hon. Owen Baya, MP, Kilifi North Constituency, had requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock on the following issues: 1. What measures are there to cushion coastal fishermen from hunger in the face of the current fishing ban? 2. What specific relief programmes has the Government earmarked for both current and future fishing bans? First of all, I thank and appreciate the meteorological department for the early warning to the fishing community in our coastal waters. The number ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not an expert but I can reason intelligently and be able to respond owing to the experience I have during the budget- making process. I think the Ministry, especially under the blue economy, has earmarked huge resources to work around the whole issue of diversification. Whether we are going to move far in the inland lakes, like I had already explained to Hon. Members earlier during the budget-making process, all the landing sites and beach management units along the lakes and the fish landing sites have all been considered and factored in the programme ... view

• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The allocation for the Ministry is as follows: The recurrent allocation for the Ministry is Kshs3.89billion in the Financial Year 2019/2020. There is an increase of Kshs600million which is about 18.3 per cent from an allocation of Kshs3.3billion in the previous year. The increase is on account of the increased provision for the compensation of employees by Kshs30million and increased provision by Kshs637million for transfers to Government agencies, including Bukura Agricultural College by Kshs26million; Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority (AFFA) by Kshs221million, Agricultural Project Coordination Unit (APCU) by Kshs11million, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) by Ksh190 million and Pyrethrum ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The development allocation to the department has been reduced by 10.8 per cent from Kshs20billion in the Financial Year 2018/2019 to Kshs17.9billion in the Financial Year 2019/2020. The reduction of Kshs2.1billion is on account of a reduction in the provision for Fertiliser Subsidy Programme from Kshs4.3billion provided in 2018 to Kshs2billion this year. The name has also been changed from ‘Fertiliser Subsidy Programme’ to ‘National Value Chain Support Programme’. The provision for Kenya Cereals Enhancement Programme has been enhanced. The State Department for Crop Development basically implements the three programmes which are; the General Administration, Planning and Support Services, Crop ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: While we continue to probe the estimates for the Financial Year 2019/2020, the Committee observed that the State Department for Crop Development was allocated Kshs21.8 which is a reduction of 6.7 per cent from allocation of the previous year. The Department is implementing the three programmes which were aforementioned. The recurrent allocation for the Department was at Kshs3.89billion in 2019 which is an increase of Kshs600million. It is equivalent to Kshs18.3 per cent from an allocation of Kshs3.3billion in the Financial Year 2018/2019. There is a change of policy and thinking by the Executive in terms of fertiliser subsidy and ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: There is no provision for the Strategic Food Reserve. As I have just explained, the National Cereals and Produce Board is going to self-finance the purchase of maize for 2018/2019. The provision for coffee industry revitalisation and food security of Kshs300 million, which was earlier provided by the Committee, has been removed and about Kshs3 billion has been provided for the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives. Basically, this means that coffee revitalisation and food security is no longer the docket of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. It has been moved to the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives, ... view
