10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, livestock infrastructure, in terms of marketing, has been a challenge to livestock farmers in this country; but I want to assure this House that in the Budget of 2010/2011, the Minister for Finance, under the Economic Stimulus Programme, has slated in a substantial amount of money for the construction of abattoirs in a number of pastoral areas, including Narok South.

Secondly, as a Ministry, we are trying to re-energise our livestock strategy. We want to create more livestock marketing centres across the ASALs So, I want to assure you that once we put in place the Economic Stimulus Programme under the Ministry of Livestock Development, in terms of construction of satellite abattoirs, that problem will be solved. Under the same programme, with the help of development partners, we are building two export abattoirs â one in Garissa and one in Isiolo â for the international market.

10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the creation of disease-free zones is a complex project. As a Government, we have already established the first Kenya-owed vaccine institute â the Kenya Veterinary Vaccine Production Institute (KEVEVAPI). It is part of the creation of the disease-free zones. Secondly, yes, the creation of disease-free zones, as a flagship project, will be achieved in the 2011/2012 financial year, now that the donors and the Government have confirmed their financial commitment to this project. I want to assure this House that the creation of disease-free zones is a flagship project in the Ministry of Livestock Development, under Vision ...

22 Jul 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I am supporting for one fundamental reason and that is the Constitution. We are remaining with close to 13 days before the 4th August Referendum. This Constitution is so dear to this country. This Proposed Constitution and the referendum is part of the Agenda 4. It is what this country has been waiting for, for the last 20 years or so. It is time that Members of this House take leave, go on recess, organize themselves, educate their constituents and the larger Kenyan population on the pros and cons of the ...

1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to thank hon. Boaz Kaino for bringing this great Bill to Parliament. When we talk about malaria, I think in the minds of many people, it is a very serious matter. Every day the number of people who die as a result of malaria can be equal to the people who died in the September 11 bomb blast in New York. We are talking of a child dying in Africa of malaria every 30 seconds. It is that serious. Moreso, children under the age of five years are dying everyday. ...

1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, coming to the national figures, today one of the leading diseases in this country is malaria. It is the leading cause of mobility and mortality in Kenya. If you look at our health sector percentage, how many out-patients go to our health facilities? We are talking of about 30 per cent of the people who go to hospital as out-patients doing so as a result of malaria. About 19 per cent of all admissions in health facilities, whether it is a dispensary, health centre or hospital, is as a result of malaria. Above all, 20 ...

1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly:
DFID and USAID for the role they have played in funding and facilitating prevention and control of malaria. I am shocked that the same hon. Member, Mr. Kaino, is saying that the institute headquarters should be in Keiyo Valley. I have a feeling that, if we want to set up the institution headquarters because of malaria prevalence, then that institute should be based in Kisii. It should be based in Trans Mara and other areas with high prevalence rates. However, I think that is for the committee. Finally, I want to give the mandate of the Institute of malaria Control ...

30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this Motion. I think it is high time that the bare facts are put on the table. This Akiwumi Report is not only about salaries of Members of Parliament. This Report contains a lot, including even how to reform the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). This Report seeks a lot and compares the Kenyan Parliament to many other Parliaments. We should not reduce this intensive Report to salaries. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we need to put a number of issues on the table. What is the role of ...

30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly:
We need to move to the Port of Mombasa and monitor the transit cargo that is leaving the Port. But when somebody opens his mouth and says that hon. Members do not pay taxes- -- This Report that we are going to pass recommends that hon. Members are going to be taxed. But we want the opinion shapers to move to the next group which we feel has not been paying taxes and they are known in this country.
