Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise to the House, and stand by the sentiments of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, Mr. Mudavadi.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. As hon. Kimunya said, this Bill came to this House several times with a lot of suspicion. But I want to say that it is a good homegrown piece of legislation. It is coming at a time when we must be part of the global financial system.

10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Prime Minister, I also agree with you. But there is an assumption in this country â out in the media and very remotely in this House â that when a Kikuyu or Somali has US$1 million, it is criminal money and when an Indian or white man comes with Kshs10 million, it is clean money and he is an investor.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to address the following issues, my Ministry, through the CAIS based in Kabete, continues to avail superior disease-free bull semen to farmers in this country.

This partnership between the Government and the private sector has had the net effect of taking A.I services closer to end users, created jobs along the product distribution chain, and stabilised the cost of A.I services. Indeed, since the appointment of the agents, semen sales from the station have increased two-fold within the last four years. In 2008, the station sold 550 doses of semen, of which 85 per cent was used by small holder farmers in the country.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my answer is technical, just as the issue is technical. We need to give hon. Members more information, so that I can get very few supplementary questions. I am about to finish.
