• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for that protection. I was saying that I am aware that yesterday, His Excellency the President, in his meeting with the Government, indicated that many other functions that have been given to the county governments on the Fourth Schedule of our Constitution be now given the governors and the county governments.

• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: And, of course, the next President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency William Ruto.

However, that has not come to pass, probably because of the problems we had in that regime of having to consult other people every now and then. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: However, I think it is very important that we allow our farmers to access fertilizers and other inputs like seedlings and pesticides cheaply, so that the nation can produce food at prices that are affordable to the majority of our people, who live below the poverty line.
