• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the intervention I have read to the House is meant for this particular period but I want to say that the KMC and the Ministry of Livestock Development will do all within our powers this financial year to set up livestock buying centres. I want hon. Members to work with the private sector in order to make sure that the market is sustainable and will be there for many years to come. view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at no time did I say that we are going to do that because we are already doing it. All these funds have been released by the Government. The KMC has bought 370 herds of cattle under this programme. The Kshs200 million is already with the AFC. For the District Steering Groups, I have the list that I would like to table which indicates the amount of funds we have allocated to each constituency in this country. Hon. Members can use those funds to monitor whether this programme is going on. As I have said, the District ... view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the Kshs427 million with the AFC, there are procedures, collateral and interest to be paid but we have taken care of all this. That is why I have said that for the Muslim predominant areas, AFC will work with the First Community Bank in order for the Muslim farmers to access the Halal system of banking. view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we do not wake up one morning and start allocating funds. We have done an assessment on the impact of drought in various parts of the country. In the 65 constituencies, the severity of the drought is not uniform. If you allow me, I would like to inform Mr. Lekuton, the hon. Member for Laisamis that Laisamis is one of the hardest hit constituencies in this country and that is why we have more funds allocated to it. We have allocated Kshs4 million to Longoloyani which is within Laisamis. That shows that we are looking at the ... view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the mandate of the Ministry of Livestock Development whether it is during the dry season or rainy season to make sure that animal health provision is maintained. I want to say that in Gwassi and many other parts of the country we will maintain our animal health surveillance. However, on this particular issue Kshs1.5 million has been set aside by the Government to make sure that any disease occurrence within this period is curtailed. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes and the Ministry of Education have their own ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I want to define what diplomatic immunity is. This is just a form of a legal immunity and policy held between different Governments. Under the Vienna Convention, in 1961 the diplomatic community was basically meant to allow cordial maintenance of good Government relationships. We are not discussing the USA Government; we are discussing the USA Government representative. We are not discussing the donor aspect of the USA Embassy in Nairobi, that is, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). In my own constituency, 40 per cent of the donor ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you read through the last part of the Motion, you will find that it calls for a recall of the Ambassador. We are not calling for a complete diplomatic breakdown between Kenya and the USA. We are calling for a recall of the Ambassador. We have a problem as a leadership with the personal conduct of the Ambassador in terms of dealing with this country. We have more than 175 High Commissioners and Ambassadors in this country from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. We are discussing the conduct of the USA Ambassador to Kenya ... view
