• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have no intention of challenging your directive on this. However, I would like to stress that it has been a general tendency that Members bring pieces of legislations here, but they are held to ransom by Committees. Committees delay submission of reports on various proposed Bills. I wish you make a direction not just on this Committee, but all other Committees. I would like you to add that legislation and Bills pending before the House will not be held back because of reports from Committees. When Bills are ready and Members are ready ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to thank my sister, Hon. Rose, for bringing this important Motion. Just like chicken, fish is one of the foods that are recommended for good health. We are advised to avoid red meat.

What the farmers are doing and the support we give them to produce maize and other cereals is a result of good farming practice. They should have good fertilisers which have adequate and necessary nutrients. If this is not done, it is will take us to a situation where our people in this country will do without food. This Petition comes at a time when my constituency in Bungoma has also suffered. Many farmers got fertiliser which could ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to agree with Members that when looking at this Petition, the Committee should be broad, open and look at related issues which affect food security in our country. NCPB deals with the function of supplying fertiliser as a national function. It is important that we implement the Fertiliser Act which was sponsored by Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa, so that we can produce our fertiliser, and deal with these issues to ensure that there is enough food. view
