  • 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Two weeks, hon. Speaker. view
  • 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have some information about the Kenya Seed Company but we need to be given two weeks so that we can provide a comprehensive answer. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. As you have rightly put it, the issue of the COMESA extension is not in our hands. It is in the hands of the member States. We have been asking for the extension. According to the international trade law, the extensions are over. We have had our final league. Whether the member States will sympathise with us and give an extension again, it depends on them. On the Statement that the hon. Member asked last time, it is true that it lapsed. We had an answer but he had not renewed the request until today. It ... view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the original Statement sought by the hon. Member talks about ALFA. The answer that I have and I intend to give tomorrow is about ALFA but he is now talking about the COMESA. The COMESA issue, it is a fact that we, as farmers, have to get prepared because it is not going to be voted forever for extensions. So, the answer that I am preparing is about ALFA which the hon. Member sought and not about the COMESA issue. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Here I am hon. Speaker. Thank you. I am very sorry. The issue of sugar in this country is one that is known to every Kenyan because earlier there used to be some kind of quota for COMESA countries to supplement their shortage of production in their countries but it is just about 200,000 metric tonnes. We are aware of the excess sugar in the country and even millers cannot sell it in the market. That affects the farmers as well. However, we shall report the same to the Ministry and give the answer within the next two weeks. view
  • 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. While I appreciate the Statement requested by hon. Wakhungu, I think he knows that the function of agriculture has been devolved to counties and that question could have been directed to governors. However, on our part we are going to answer within two weeks. view
  • 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker Sir, I am very much aware that the ministry is still in charge of fertilizer distribution, not National Cereals and Produce Board. The National Cereals and Produce Board just acts as an agent for the ministry, of course, they have the facility to do the distribution. However, we are through with distribution of fertilizer for the short rains, that was 42,000 metric tonnes. We still have 100,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer that is still arriving. I will give a comprehensive answer in the next two weeks. view
  • 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Abdi Noor. I had the answer as from yesterday, but I never got an opportunity to respond to the Statement because it has not been put on the order paper, but with your guidance I can be able to respond. view
  • 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: I have it hon. Speaker. view
