20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, during the Motion of Adjournment of the House yesterday, I made some claims to this House in regard to some companies that were licensed to import sugar in the last one year. I undertook to not only table the list today, but also the Gazette Notice issued by Cabinet Secretary (CS), Rotich. In keeping with the undertaking and the requirement of Standing Order No.91 regarding responsibility of statements of facts, allow me to, therefore, table the following documents: (i) List of companies licensed to import sugar following Gazette Notice No.4536 of May 12th 2017. (ii) List of companies ...

tonnes of sugar during that window. This is more than the total amount of sugar imported into our country in the last six years as reflected on page 124 of the Economic Survey of 2018. If you allow me, I just want to take the House through the memory lane. In that Report, it indicates that the price of one kilogramme of sugar increased by 16.6 per cent from Kshs118 in 2018 to an average of Kshs137.8 in 2017. In the same Report, in 2017, merchandise trade deficit widened from Kshs853 billion in 2016 to Kshs1.1315 trillion. This was driven ...

20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, just because you gave direction on this matter yesterday, I have consulted my colleague, the Leader of the Minority Party. Just because you gave direction yesterday that those two Committees of this House, with very competent men and women of integrity, for now, because of the time factor, I think it is important that colleagues agree with me that we should not return back from what you said. A select committee is just like a departmental Committee. We should have confidence in all our Committees. We are proud that there are men and women who can execute this ...

Hon. Speaker, for those of us who served in the 11th Parliament, you will remember that we only had two select committees in the whole of that term. I remember the one on miraa by Hon. Kajuju. The rationale is that if we start forming select committees, the functions of departmental committees will be nullified. We must agree, as the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party has said, that each and every Member here should not cast aspersions on the integrity of our colleagues.

To pick the select committee will be a very difficult job for me. I am sure The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

everyone wants to be part of the select committee. Let us be very honest. If you doubt a departmental committee, some of us will also doubt the select committees as well. It could be composed of the cartels. If you doubt the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives and Trade, what will make some of us not doubt the ones you are going to form?

In fact, because this matter came through me, I do not want to be accused of selecting people to a select committee. If we follow that direction, I want to excuse myself from being the person selecting members of the select committee. I will leave it to my leaders. Let us respect our Members. As the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party has said, if you are doubting a Member in a given committee, please, tell us because that same committee could be dealing with other sensitive matters. So, why do we trust him? We have agreed to give this ...
