• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am rising on Standing Order No.95 to request that the Mover be called upon to respond. Much as I have listened to all the Members, they seem to be in agreement that we should not discuss the incapacity of this Member. I do not think that there is new information coming out. Could we have the Mover to respond? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 1 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.225 regarding the requirement that we could have some comments on a petition. Mr. Alphas Kokoya, on behalf of the Bukhayo Council of Elders, asked the House to halt the construction of a water dam at Bunyala by West Kenya Sugar Company in Busia County. Having gone through that Petition and made visits to the site, the Committee’s findings are as follows: (1) There is no construction of a water dam along Suo River by West Kenya Sugar Company; instead the Company intended to obstruct water from the river. (2) The ... view
• 1 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: (4) The establishment of sugar factories was welcomed by a majority of the stakeholders. The concern of the residents seems to be the close proximity of the two factories from each other which they think will lead to poaching. (5) Finally, a letter by the Sugar Board of Kenya on the unauthorised construction of a sugar company by the West Kenya Sugar Factory contradicts NEMA’s assertion and requires an independent finding. Hon. Speaker, on the prayer of the petitioners, the Committee’s findings are as follows:- (1) There is no construction of a dam as indicated in the prayers of the ... view
• 1 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) side of the House is consulting the loudest and yet the matter we are discussing in this Petition is relating to sugar production in Kenya. They argued a lot on sugar importation and yet they are not listening. They are not listening to the problems and they will not help us legislate to solve those problems. However, we will find them in funerals talking about sugar. Is that fair? view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the Committee’s amendment. However, I want to clear a misconception that has been raised by the contribution of Hon. Mbadi that the President has interfered with this amendment. The reality is that this amendment is as a result of the shortcoming of my amendment to have the PSC appoint. So, the President’s amendment is clearing that shortcoming where I was mentioning in my amendment a clause in that Bill that still refers to the panels. So, that means that he is cleaning up a mess on an amendment we had ... view
