One of them was held just yesterday. When we meet again on Friday, we shall be given a firm commitment when the funds will be available. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that has just come to my notice. I will immediately go back to the office, find out and let the hon. Member know. I will deal with whatever department is dealing with that matter so that farmers are paid immediately. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. First and foremost, I want to take this opportunity to apologise to the House. Last week both the Minister, Dr. Naomi and I were not in the House because of unavoidable reasons. I had gone to my constituency because there was some tension on the ground. I had made proper arrangements, but unfortunately a conference came up and the Minister had to open it. Mr. Deputy Speaker: Fair enough! The Chair is satisfied. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I beg to reply. (a) The current status of the SGR stock stands at 3 million bags of maize each weighing 90 kilogrammes. This is expected to rise because farmers are selling maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). The Government is in the process of buying more from the farmers. In the legal gazette notice that created the SGR, provision has not been made for powder milk to be part of the SGR. Therefore, we do not have any amount of powder milk as part of the stocks. (b) The forecast for the ... view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the systems used for transportation, we use the traditional ways of transporting food from the depots to the places required. No much loss has been reported. However, there are occasions where food has been delayed due to bad roads. We are moving with speed and co-ordinating with the relevant Ministries to ensure that our roads are done properly so that food reaches the designated areas efficiently. As to the modern techniques, electronic cards and food vouchers are being considered under social protection programme, that is, the food subsidy programme which is being co-ordinated ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are on pilot basis. We are trying the electronic system in the slums of Kibera and Mathare. We are in the process of doing the same in Turkana area. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the level of consultation by the hon. Members, unfortunately, is still high, but I will attempt to be loud enough for those who are interested. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have plans and we have always had plans to increase the level of SGR. Unfortunately, finances have never been available to ensure that we have the right levels required in the country. We are expected to have a minimum of eight million bags at any one time, but today, we only have three million bags. We have submitted our budgetary requirements to the Treasury to the tune of Kshs18.4 billion. We only received Kshs1 billion in the Financial Year 2009/2010. In the current financial year, we also received Kshs1 billion. This leaves a shortfall of ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, nothing can be done from my part because the rest of the resources I have in the Ministry are actually not even enough to run the rest of the programmes. However, we have written to the Minister requesting for a meeting with the Treasury officials so that this matter can be discussed and dispensed with once and for all. For now, I cannot give you any answer on that. view
