• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock Development when the Government will upgrade Griftu Pastoral Training College to a fully-fledged institution so that it can accommodate more students. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, this institution was first opened in 1976 by the late hon. Jeremiah Nyagah, when he was the Minister for Development. Livestock farmers in North Eastern Province have been left at the mercy of nature. While we appreciate the strategic plan which is offered by the Ministry, this same strategic plan has been in place for the last 30 years and yet that institution with all the infrastructure has been idle simply because the Government lacks the goodwill to assist the livestock farmers in North Eastern Province. ... view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by my former campus mate and my good colleague, I want to insist that the policies of the Kenya Government as far as livestock farmers in northern Kenya are concerned have been upside down. We used to have Livestock Marketing Board division. It is a pity that all the holding grounds have been grabbed. We used to have the KMC which is struggling to stand firm, but still it lacks the necessary infrastructure. Even where the view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: KMC factories are located today, the holding grounds belong to individuals. The Government has been reluctant to cancel the title deeds for those individuals who grabbed those pieces of land. Which policy, other than an upside down policy is the Assistant Minister trying to implement? The Ministry lacks the goodwill. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, different parts of the Republic of Kenya have benefited from nurtured Government institutions or inter-Governmental programmes. Why are the people of northern Kenya excluded from such benefits? When will we be eligible to benefit from such Government institutions? view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is evading the question. He says he has the Strategic Plan of 2008/2012. Could he tell us the number of colleges that he intend to set up according to that Strategic Plan and where they will be located? view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The insurance industry plays a key role in the economy of this country. We also know that the matatu industry is a very important sector in our economy. I know that the reason why Invesco Assurance Company is being revived is not what the Assistant Minister is telling Parliament. After 2003, with the adoption of the Michuki rules--- view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: That is what I am coming to. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House when he knows very well that the very reason why the Government revived Invesco Assurance Company is that no other underwriter was willing to accept PSV insurance? All the other underwriters were operating at a loss and the Government had to persuade the Matatu Owners Association and the Matatu Welfare Association to form an insurance company to manage PSV. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Minister make a very serious statement. In the first place he says an ambassador has been appointed to Tokyo; in the second statement he said he cannot divulge the name of the ambassador because the President is yet to make the pronouncement. Which one is true? What if the President decides to go for somebody else. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that an ambassador has been appointed when, indeed, the appointing authority is the President? view
