• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, some of these governors, unfortunately, have taken part in this show of power and might. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, there is an hon. Member behind me who is talking about carpets. I am not aware if they are asking for carpets. However, I know that there are those who have moved county government offices from the areas that those offices are gazetted. I am not afraid to mention one particular case in Kiambu, which is my county. The offices were moved from the gazetted area in Kiambu Town which is central to everybody in Kiambu County to an area that is only close to them, to the disadvantage of very poor Kenyans in Karai Ward in ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think this is very relevant to this debate hon. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. We are talking about utilization of Government funds or taxpayers’ money. We should not talk about spending money to move offices of governors. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion by Hon. Wakhungu. It is common knowledge in this country that some years back the former Head of State, His Excellency Mwai Kibaki, proposed to the National Treasury, the then Ministry for Finance, to allocate the Ministry of Agriculture adequate funds that would enable the Ministry procure subsidized fertilizer and seeds. 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. In fact, a lot has been said about irrigating one million acres of land in this country within the next five years. Whereas I may not have a big problem with such an adventure of irrigating land, I think it is important for us to basically dwell on those areas that are capable ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Ndeiya in Limuru and Kikuyu constituencies where farmers are unable to access fertilizer and seedlings. Even the fertilizer that the hon. Member from Bungoma has said is procured through the National Cereals and Produce Board does not reach our farmers. The fertilizers and seeds are basically taken to certain areas in the North Rift and other areas, which are considered to be the food baskets of this country, thereby ignoring other areas which could also help this country. There is a lot of arable land but because farmers are poor and cannot afford seeds and fertilizers they are unable to ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I will support the setting up of a board that will distribute not only subsidized fertilizers but also seeds and other inputs. Also, in pursuit of what we call mechanized agriculture we can see how such a board will help the country procure, or even through industrialization manufacture mechanized equipment that will help our farmers. We need not dwell on the NCPB much because it is a total let down to the people of this country. Hon. Wakhungu, who has moved this Motion, has said that the Board supplies our farmers with seeds and fertilizers long after the planting ... view
