• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, one of the reasons why I think we have amendments to the CMA Bill 2013 is to create an environment for the mobilisation of long term resources so as to finance capital projects. We are talking of Vision 2030 and for us to mobilise long term resources then we have no choice. These amendments in my opinion will mobilise resources for major projects. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that is a controversial Statement, but I will seek the Government response and give the House an answer next week on Thursday. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am not aware of the national interest in this matter. I am not aware of anybody lobbying for that money. The Constitution is very clear. The Director of Budget and the National Treasury are aware of the votes and the money will be there. The earliest I can bring a very comprehensive Statement is Thursday next week. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this Procedural Motion. I had the privilege to serve in the last Parliament and when the Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Authority (ALFA) Bill came up it was African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) driven. That is why you are not seeing “livestock” mentioned here. The pastoral leadership in the last Parliament decided to remove livestock from the Bill. This is because it is one of the Bills that was being rushed here in Parliament. We realized that if it has to go then it has to go minus livestock. I want to say that the ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, a similar Statement was sought by the hon. Member for Mwala, which I was to give on Tuesday next week. I will combine the two and issue a Statement on Tuesday next week. The fault is, however, on the Chairman of the Departmental Committee and not me. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with hon. Mbadi. After discussing with the Legal Department of Parliament, we have agreed that, one, the Attorney-General should not send a Bill to Parliament without a certificate of concurrence from the National Treasury. Parliament has done that. A letter has been done to the Attorney-General that any Bill that has financial implications, before the publication period and before it goes to any committee, the concurrence of the National Treasury should be sought. I am sure that will also help the problem. I also agree with hon. Mbadi that committees will also re-look at ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I had the privilege of serving in the last Parliament and this Bill was called ALFA Act, but today it is called ALF because in the last Parliament, the hon. Members who were coming from the livestock keeping areas, more so the pastoral community, thought that the ALFA Bill was dollar-driven and that it was not in the interest of the Kenyan people. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, when the then Minister for Agriculture, hon. Sally Kosgey, could not listen to the then Minister for Livestock, hon. Kuti, and to the leadership of the livestock producing areas; we went into a consensus and agreed to remove the livestock aspect of it. Today, I am seeing what hon. Members from the pastoral region saw was coming. Apart from the extension, the Chair of the Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives Committee is asking to extend the operation date which is coming into effect on 24th of this month, next Wednesday, so that it gives the Government and the ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want hon. Members to listen to me and re-look at the whole AFLA Act. Hon. Speaker, for some very mischievous reasons, consultation was not done on the Bill that resulted in this Act. Sisal was lumped together with sugarcane. How do you mix the two? They want to bring under one Authority, the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya, the Sisal Board of Kenya, the Coconut Board of Kenya, the Kenya Sugar Board, the Coffee Board and the Kenya Tea Board. In my opinion, the agricultural corporations are sector-based and crop-based. Through the Kenya Tea Board, it is ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me that opportunity. I rise to support that Motion. I would like to take that opportunity to thank my brother, hon. Wario, who is my neighbour on the other bank of the same river, for bringing that Motion before that House. When I say that, I think it is clearly understood that the effects that he suffers is what I also suffer on the other side of the river. So, that Motion is important to me and to the people of Balambala Constituency, whom I represent. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
