• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: We do not want development to be left as a function of the counties. For separation of powers, the Council should only deal with marketing and promotion. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the original Act reads that “An Act of Parliament to establish the Livestock and Livestock Products Development and Marketing Board.” The Act will now read that “An Act of Parliament to establish Livestock and Livestock Marketing Promotion Board.” We have removed the words “Products Development.” The Board cannot develop products because this will be done by the counties. The work of the Council is only to promote trade, which is exporting and maybe marketing locally. So, they will just market and not produce. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the title of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “Development and Marketing” and substituting therefor the words “Marketing Promotion”. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 1 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “Development and Marketing” and substituting therefor the words “Marketing Promotion”. This is very straightforward. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I am sorry my card seems not to be working and I was just waiting for this opportunity. From the outset, I join my colleagues in thanking the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He has been chairing this Committee under very difficult circumstances for the last four years that we have been in this august House. I thank the last two speakers, Hon. Manje and Hon. Ochieng, for raising an alarm on the aspect of agriculture and food security. I have been chairing the Departmental Committee on ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: At the expense of agriculture, we have given priority and preference to infrastructure, energy, education and health. In as much as education is important, can a hungry child go to a class and learn? We do not think about food security in this country. Kenya is signatory to the Maputo Declaration where it was agreed that 10 per cent of the GDP in any country should go to agriculture. Today, less than 0.5 per cent has been allocated to agriculture even though there is the devolution aspect which came with the new constitutional dispensation that agriculture is devolved. As much ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: increasing and the land is diminishing because of sub-division. The only way we can feed this country is by irrigation. As I speak, the National Irrigation Board has a debt of Kshs4 billion. In the 2013/2014 Financial Year, they were given Kshs16 billion and in today’s allocation, they have been given less than Kshs9 billion. I do not know where we stand concerning this issue. Let me touch on the issue of extension officers in this country. All the colleges which used to train them have either been acquired by universities or handed over to counties. Since when did training ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is getting Kshs21 billion for the FPE and Kshs35 billion for the FSE. The two total to Kshs56 billion. Just 1 per cent of what has been allocated to the two institutions has been allocated to the three critical State Departments. Look at the drought that occurs every year and clears all the herds and livestock which make up almost 50 per cent of the arid and semi-arid land mass. Millions of Kenyans depend on that livestock population. Every year, they become poorer and poorer. They have no market for their livestock because ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I had some amendments to Clause 2 in terms of the definitions of some few items. Because you have jumped it, I will go to Clause 3. view
