• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. When I found these Statement requests, I was able to consult with my co-Chair, Member for Tiaty, hon. Abongotum. What I can say from the outset is that there must be mutual respect, whether there was historical injustice or not; there is always a procedure. There must be some sanctity of land title in this country. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, since this matter is serious and is about to blow up clashes of some sort, I have agreed with my co-chair that we give the Statement in two weeks’ time, so that the area can be calm. Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker.

• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: made the company to fix prices at which they buy macadamia nuts from farmers, yet after minimal value addition, the company sells the product at more than five times of the perceived prices. Further, the monopoly has discouraged other companies from investing in the business, yet there is no law in Kenya that allows monopoly in the trade of nuts.

• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the ground people are suffering; I would like to give only two weeks, if it is possible. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. Indeed, the hon. Member has said that the Committee visited the area. Most of the work is already done. The only aspect left on the same is that the Cabinet Secretary was supposed to send her technical team to the ground to survey the particular land that is purported to have been encroached on, and that which is not productive of salt. Therefore, it is just a matter of tracking the matter; I want to promise the hon. Member that we are tracking the matter. Of course, having realized what was there in the last ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Indeed, he is my good neighbour, and I was trying to see whether I can conclude his matter today with my Committee, but we were unable and he is appearing before the Committee on Thursday morning.

• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The issue of encroachment into Lake Naivasha is a matter that has been in the public domain for long, discussed in several journals and reports from different scholars and the Government. You have heard that the Questioner has alluded to the issue of bird species, ecology and environment. Therefore, my Committee may be limited to only allocations.

It is true that the report was made but, given the circumstances in which we were, as a Committee, for the last two-and-a-half weeks, we could not do that particular work. In fact, I have been constantly in touch with the Member for Endebes. I have been telling him that we would tackle his problem. Indeed, he knows that we have tackled another problem in his constituency, and he was happy. So, let him, please, give me a week, so that I can dispense of the matter. view
