• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. While I thank the hon. M’eruaki for that Petition, I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that there is already a Bill that I was prosecuting in this House, in the last Session last year. That is the Alcoholic Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill of 2013 which is largely addressing the same issues, especially to do with farmers growing sorghum and millet. Indeed, many of the people who had also petitioned us were traders in sorghum and millet. They were basically traders who are buying sorghum from the areas in Meru and Tharaka-Nithi. I have ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Is hon. Joyce in order to cast aspersions on the hon. Members of this House, who are of the male gender? The Bill talks about hotel guests and not male hotel guests. It is a fact of life that even women in this country and all over the world also check into guest houses and hotels. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the amendment that I have proposed reads “Clause 5” on the Order Paper, but since the Bill does not have Clause 5 that was a typo error. It is on Clause 4. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. That is what I am correcting, that on the Order Paper it reads “Clause 5” but that should have been Clause 4. So, I am moving an amendment on Clause 4. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Exactly, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move the amendment:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended by renumbering the proposed provision as subsection (1) and inserting a new subsection (2) as follows- (2) Notwithstanding the provision of any other law, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for the National Treasury shall grant remission of excise duty at ninety per centum with respect to beer made from sorghum, millet or cassava grown in Kenya, if that licensed manufacturer- (a) manufactures beer that has at least seventy five per centum content of sorghum, millet, or cassava, excluding sugar; and, (b) packs ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: With the loss sometime last year of the production of beer from these food crops like millet, sorghum and cassava, many of our farmers in areas like Kericho and Bomet in the Rift Valley and sections of Ukambani and Central Kenya where these crops were grown have been suffering. Secondly, and as I mentioned earlier, many of our people especially in the areas that we come from have suffered out of the consumption of illicit brews. What we intend to do is basically just to take back the remission to where it was initially before a legal notice was done ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Actually, I was done and was only appealing to the Members of this House to support this Bill because it is in the best interest not only of farmers but also of our people who are dying of this illicit alcohol. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, the amendment. Yes, I have concluded. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, indeed, it is true that this Bill and the amendments went to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The same Bill and the amendments were submitted to the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and were approved. As much as hon. Gichigi may not have been in the Budget and Appropriations Committee at the time they were submitted, I do not know why he would aver that. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my appeal is that we report progress on this Bill as we consult with the Committee concerned. view
