• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to support that amendment. By nature, I come from a nomadic community. That is one of the reasons why I am supporting this amendment. The point is that we join parties by consent. Until or unless when we reach where parties become and ascribe to the Political Parties Act, that, parties do not become regional properties of individuals then I can say that a number of Kenyans will suffer within this period of six months. So, I support the amendment by hon. Nuh. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think we are missing the point. It is my opportunity to speak from this side for the first time. I think the spirit of gender equity is well in the Constitution and we have no problem with it. However, when it comes to elective positions, to the representation of the people, it is the choice of Kenyan people to elect who they want. It is not even the choice of the political party. The political party will set up a nomination mechanism and it is the people to elect in Kipipiri and Dujis whether ... view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there is an outbreak of Anthrax in Miringa-iri area within Kerugoya Municipality in Kirinyaga Central District. As a control measure, my Ministry imposed a quarantine notice in the area on 4th August, 2011 to prevent further spread of the disease. (b) I am also aware that 11 pigs belonging to Mr. Munyagia Mbugi have been reported dead in the past few days, and their deaths have been attributed to the outbreak of Anthrax in that area. (c) When my Ministry received a report of the dying pigs in ... view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the vaccines are in three different locations. The vaccines are available at the DVO’s office, the Director of Veterinary Services (DVS) at Kabete and our main storage facility for all vaccines at the Kenya Veterinary Vaccine Production Centre at Embakasi. So, when this contagious disease struck, our officers were there the following morning, and that is why we have contained the situation so far. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, anthrax is a very sensitive trade related communicable disease, and it rarely attacks pigs; but as a Ministry and Government, we have started a major disease surveillance and vaccination programme. It is going on in the country in many areas where anthrax is predominantly found. In the last six months, from March, we have identified anthrax in Limuru, Nairobi, Kiambu, Eldoret West, and Kirinyaga. Our officers in the laboratory centres in all these regions have carried out diagnosis and surveillance and now we are carrying out vaccination. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a difference between a “possibility” and an “outbreak”. As of today, there is no anthrax outbreak in Nyakach, but I am sure the DVO in Nyakach has the vaccine in his office. If the worse comes to the worst, we have enough vaccines at our Vaccine Production Centre at Embakasi. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have no budget available for compensation, but that is an issue we will discuss as a Ministry in the future to see if compensation will be available. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, our prices for vaccines are known. If farmers are being told to pay more, then we want to get the information and we shall take all the administrative and disciplinary measures as a Ministry. We do not allow our DVOs to charge farmers above the price set by the Director of Veterinary Services. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Chairlady. Why are we jumping Clause 1, which is supposed to be amended? view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to oppose this amendment for the simple reason that under a presidential system of government, Parliament will be a very important institution. Parliament will be involved in the running of the Government. So, if the President does not have the requisite numbers, the Government cannot run its affairs. So, we must encourage formation of coalitions. We should not run away from coalitions. If well run, coalitions can do very well. It is only where people do not agree that a problem comes in. view
