• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: It is on this line we are asking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to avail more funds, so that this Ministry, as the Member has said, can hire more staff. We want Members to raise it when the Ministry of Livestock Development budget comes to this Floor. Members from livestock producing areas, pastoral communities and dairy animal production areas should stand up and say yes, “as much as we want to have a ratio for medical doctors to the number of patients, we must have a definite ratio for veterinary doctors in terms of the animals we ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to the President’s Address on the opening of the Fourth Session of Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my opinion, the President’s policy document was excellent because it gave hope to the people of Kenya. In particular, the President touched on a number of key and fundamental issues. The President touched on the Constitution, poverty reduction, the fight against corruption, national cohesion and unity. Finally, he touched on job creation. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, more fundamentally, the President challenged this House and the nation that we must always look for ways to steer the nation forward. He reminded us of his motto of making this country a working nation. On the new Constitution, I would like to commend the Parliamentary Select Committee, the Committee of Experts (CoE) and the key stakeholders in the Constitution-making process for making this country proud; that today, 2nd March 2010, the Parliamentary Select Committee on Constitutional Review has tabled the document. I urge my colleagues in the Tenth Parliament that we must live to ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: document in a very sober way. We must remove our discussions on this document from our ethnic interests. We must remove our personal, regional and political interests so that we can deliver a new Constitution to this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President touched on the issue of corruption. We agree with him that the fight against corruption should not be personalized, politicized and taken to ethnic enclaves. The fight against corruption should not be portrayed from a regional perspective. The fight against corruption needs both the support of the Government and Members of Parliament. It needs the ... view
• 24 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose this Motion. Parliamentary and political party democracy is very important in everything that we do in this House. From the HBC which is a very important organ of this House to all Parliamentary Committees, parliamentary parties’ decision is very crucial. We should not take this House for granted. Political parties do not belong to a few individuals and Chief Whips. Parties belong to the rank and file of the people of Kenya. In order for us to respect the Political Parties Act that we passed in this House, the PG meeting must ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that some herders moved their livestock from Isiolo towards Buuri, crossed into Imenti North and finally camped at Lower Imenti Forest at Ruiri and Kithoka boundary. The herders, as Mr. Ruteere may be aware, moved from Isiolo area due to the severe drought that ravaged most parts of this country especially northern Kenya, leading to ethnic conflicts that took place in the middle of November, 2009. I am also aware that these herders were trying to go to Tana River District by trekking along the road via ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member claims that the herders are armed and the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security has stated that there is already a mop up exercise to collect arms from all the communities around the Isiolo ecosystem. On the issue of the camels, sheep, goats and the cattle which move around as a result of the drought, my Ministry in conjunction with the farmers association, the Kenya Livestock Marketing Council (KLMC) and the community at large, is talking to the agricultural farmers to ensure that they live alongside the pastoralist communities. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question was very specific. It was about livestock movement between Isiolo District and North Imenti. As the hon. Member has said, the security situation in Isiolo is complex. I am sure the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and all the security actors are addressing that problem. I have said earlier on that already, there is a mop up exercise in the area. The Government is addressing the root cause of the insecurity in Isiolo. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the mandate of the Ministry of Livestock Development to ensure that any livestock, whether camels, goats or rabbits are treated and vaccinated whenever there is disease outbreak. I assure the hon. Member that we will do that. On the issue of compensation, if that is quantified and presented to us, we will look at it. We will also discuss this matter with the other Ministries which are involved. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the mandate of any legitimate Government to protect its people and maintain law and order. We will make sure there are no ethnic clashes that will happen in our country at all times. I want to assure the hon. Member that North Imenti and Isiolo will be very peaceful and agricultural farmers and livestock farmers will co-exist as brothers and sisters in this country. view
