• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order 34 which is with regard to the quorum of the House and with regard to what my colleague, hon. Wambugu, has said. It is, indeed, true that perhaps, most hon. Members of the CORD side of the House are not present. But it is with regard to what hon. Members of CORD Parliamentary Group feel; it is like a selective notification by the people who sit on the Chair. Most hon. Members of the CORD side have raised frustrations in terms of not ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was also rising with regard to the Statement by the Leader of Majority Party. Ordinarily, at about midday, we are supposed to be having the Order Paper for the day, which was given out. Right now, we have the Supplementary Order Paper and it makes it very difficult for us to prepare because having researched the whole afternoon to participate in debate on the various laws, we have a Supplementary Order Paper. I think it is proper for us to appreciate what a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Supplementary Order Paper would do; it is supposed to augment the parent Order Paper. If this trend continuous, then it becomes very difficult to participate in the debate in the House. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I would urge my fellow colleagues to particularly support this Motion and any other Motion that will be cushioning the rural poor from things that always stifle their development. Kenya is supposed to be 70 per cent an agricultural country. That 75 per cent agriculture that we are supposed to produce could help us deal with the issue of unemployment. If the Government set good prices for milk, I think that many young people who would otherwise be looking for jobs will take on activities like dairy ... view

• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much for indulgence, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that urging the Government to intervene on the farm produce prices is good and appropriate, but that would be a short-term measure in terms of helping the farmers benefit from their milk production. I was going to move ahead and propose other avenues that we could explore with the Mover to ensure that the farmers then make the most of their farm produce. We need to urge the Government also to help with subsidizes in terms of veterinary services for the farmers. They end up paying ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: farmer selling raw milk, he or she should be encouraged and taught to add value to the milk. The other thing I would like to urge is that farmers need to grow or make their own feeds. Value addition and feeds is what play on to the farm price of milk. This will not only set a price tag, but also ensure that apart from value addition we also help bring the cost of production lower so that farmers maximize adequately on production. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. It is a Motion that is well intended. I just hope no one is rustling my microphone. Cattle rustling is a perenial problem that affects most northern parts of Kenya and various sections of the Rift Valley. Cattle rustling causes security issues and various community conflicts. I read this Motion and for me, it is duo faceted Motion. On the first part, I think the Mover of the Motion intends to deal with the security issues in the northern region which come about as a result of cattle rustling. ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, because of the revenge attacks that are connected to cattle rustling issues and the cyclic problem of cattle rustling, there is need to actively engage citizens in the various parts of the country. Having had a bit of experience in the northern part of Kenya, there is something called “peace committees” where the various tribes or the various communities that engage in conflicts related to cattle rustling always engage themselves into. I am of the opinion that as opposed to arming our Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) or giving them more training, we engage more in community cohesion ... view
