• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock Development:- (a) what is the potential and actual contribution of the livestock sector to the Kenyan GDP; (b) how the Government has harnessed this potential with particular reference to ASALs; and, (c) what percentage of the Government Budget is allocated to the livestock sector. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Assistant Minister for attempting to answer this Question. You will realize that the livestock sector currently contributes 12 per cent to our GDP. At the same time, the sector contributes 47 per cent of the agricultural sector market produce. My issue is that this country seems to be investing in the wrong places all the time. This is a very classic example of a sector that contributes - even when it is under-developed - 12 per cent to the GDP and yet, the Government has only invested less than 2 ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the Member of Parliament for Ainamoi that the livestock sector contribution to the GDP is 12 per cent. If he bothers to read the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) Report, which is in his pigeon hole, he will easily find that figure. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Going back to the issue, the problem with this Ministry is that they have good ideas and plans, but they hardly implement anything. The issue of disease-free zones has been with us since the year 2000. I recall that it captured headlines in 2000. Since then, the policy has been there but nothing has actually happened. The same is true for all the other issues that have been enumerated here in terms of support to the livestock sector. My question is: Could the Assistant Minister tell us the concrete steps he has taken, and give us specific timelines within which ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, losing 58 people over a period of five years is a very large number. That is losing nearly 12 people per year. That is a very sad situation. The focus should not be on compensation and other issues but on prevention. Could the Assistant Minister categorically spell out how they intend to prevent further deaths in Narok South because I am one of those affected and I know what it means? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Mr. Lekuton for bringing this issue up. This matter has been neglected a lot between 2003 and 2004. Since the Government works in collaboration with other stakeholders, and in order to confirm the Government’s seriousness on this matter, like it has done with the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) of the 2007 post-election violence, could the Assistant Minister tell us how much money has been set aside for the 2010/2011 Financial Year? He needs to confirm the seriousness and the focus of the Government on this very sensitive matter. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock Development:- (a) if he could state what the potential and actual contribution of the livestock sector to the Kenya GDP; (b) if he could explain how the Government has harnessed this potential with particular reference to ASAL areas; and, (c) what percentage of the Government budget is allocated to the livestock sector. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In part “c” of the Question, the Minister has said that this matter is before court. Is it in order for him to avoid answering this part of the Question when he has not produced a plaint to the Chair for him to determine whether this Question, which looks, general is sub judice ? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has indicated that if the hon. Member can avail Kshs5 million, he would also top up with the same amount. How ready is he? Is he ready during this financial year? He should confirm. view
