• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: (c) Could the Ministry consider reviewing the quantity of maize to be purchased from farmers to 3,000,000 bags at a price of Kshs3,600 per bag, considering that maize farming is their only source of livelihood? view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to seek your guidance again on the same issue. This is a matter that is before Parliament. I sat in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock as a friend of the Committee where the Chairperson of the Strategic Food Reserve Oversight Board, Dr. Noah Wekesa, was present. I remember the Committee recommended that the board should review the figure of Kshs2,300, but I was surprised to see the Cabinet coming up with a decision to have Kshs2,300 instead of Kshs3,600. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stick to my Question that the Cabinet Secretary should review the quantity of maize to be purchased from the farmers to 3,000,000 bags and at a price of Kshs3,600 per bag. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to present a public Petition regarding the dismissal and blacklisting of employees of Eastern Produce Kenya (EPK). I, the undersigned, on behalf of dismissed and blacklisted employees of EPK vested in Nandi Hills Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the economy of Nandi Hills Constituency mainly relies on existing tea estates of EPK Limited, which is the largest multinational company in the Rift Valley consisting of about 12 out of 20 tea factories in Nandi County, namely Kibabet, Kapsumbeiwa, Kipkoimet, Kepchomo, Chemomi, Savani, Sitoi, Kaboswa, Kipkeibon, Siret, Kaprachoge and ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: THAT, the said multinational company provides employment to over 40,000 workers who are drawn from within Nandi Hills Constituency and other parts of the country. THAT, the termination erupted two years ago after the ruling of the Employment and Labour Relations Court that all tea industries in Kenya to hike their employees’ payment by 30 per cent. THAT, EPK allegedly disregarded the decision of the Employment and Labour Relations Court forcing the employees to exercise their constitutional right of seeking justice through demonstrations. THAT, EPK Limited did not honour the court’s verdict hence employees held demonstrations to express their displeasure ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for your ruling. I rise on a different issue. I want to seek your guidance and direction on a matter that is touching on two committees of this House, namely, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I had the privilege of being a Member of the 11th Parliament and I remember the way the two committees used to work together. They used to correlate very closely because the majority of Members who sat in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning were The electronic version of the ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which is not the scenario now. There is a challenge and I sympathise with the National Treasury officials who want to make a presentation to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. In most cases, we represent the people and are sensitive to issues that affect the people. The Members who sit in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning in most cases want to bring down taxation and those in the Budget and Appropriations Committee want to improve on budgeting and appropriation, which ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: (Nandi Hills, JP) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, the Motion be amended by: (a) inserting paragraph 8 immediately after paragraph 7 of part (a) to read Ms. Nelly Peris Ashubwe a nominee of the umbrella body representing trade unions to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. (b) deleting paragraph (b) view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, having looked at the observations of the Committee, I first commend it for doing a very good job. It is just unfortunate for the other lady because of some laws that prescribe a ten year of experience which she does not have. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee looked at suitability, integrity and capacity and raised issues on capacity and not on suitability and integrity. The Committee noted that the nominee did not exhibit capacity to serve as a member of the SRC. Her education background indicates that, at some time, she represented trade unions in industrial courts. I believe she has the capacity because there are many issues touching on labour laws and we need a lawyer to be part of the commission which was missing because the other nominees do not have that background. There is no need of saying that she has no ... view
