• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem of Mboi Kamiti started several years back when the Government started managing it just like they did with the National Bank of Kenya. The coffee industry has been in a limbo for many years. Could the Assistant Minister tell us the difference between the coffee loans that were written off by the Government and these 7,000 coffee farmers? Why can he not consider handling the Mboi Kamiti issue like any other coffee industry issues that they have handled in the past? view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what criteria they use to establish courts? view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of IDPs has been discussed for a long time now. It is now over a year. At times, I wonder what is so difficult in resettling them. As you travel to Nakuru, you see miserable sites on the sides of the roads. I know we have idle land in this country. Why can we not resettle these people, once and for all? There is some reluctance by the Ministry officials to resettle these IDPs because none of them comes from Central Province. Most of these IDPs do not come from North Eastern Province, Eastern ... view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has made an effort to try and explain about the fruit fly that affects the avocadoes. Could he tell us also how he is going to assist the mango growers from lower Kiharu region to market their crop in the international market? view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we appreciate the efforts the Assistant Minister is making in answering this Question; we also appreciate that the roads are in very bad shape. However, before we went for recess, he promised that the road between Kenol and Murang'a would be patched up and re-sealed. As soon as he answered the Question, the work was stopped. To date, nobody is patching up or re-sealing the road. Is it the same thing? Could the Assistant Minister confirm that when he tells this House that something is being done, that remains the case? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. I congratulate the hon. Member who brought the Motion. A lot has been said about control of prices. It is also important to note that the main problem we have here is the Government policy we are dealing with. It seems not to direct the country towards food security. We do not know, up to today, if the Ministry of Agriculture and the Treasury are ready to direct this country towards food security. We have been talking about maize and maize flour all the time as if Kenyans ... view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm whether the same will happen to the Mombasa Polytechnic? The students who were admitted for the same academic year are still at home! view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. May I congratulate the Ministry for giving funds for improvement of infrastructure. I want to make an observation that the rehabilitation of pit latrines is not the best on land conservation. Could I suggest to the Ministry that it links up with the relevant Ministries so that the compounds of our primary schools are not filled with pit latrines such that there is no more land for development? view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Ministry is supposed to give guidelines on policy issues. If there is no more land to expand schools, it is the responsibility of the Ministry to give guidance. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what policy and guidance he is giving to our community? Land is not expanding! view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Assistant Minister could take 20 years to take action. The Assistant Minister has stated that one of the most serious problems is drug abuse in that school. Yet, the Code of Regulations for teachers enables the Provincial Director of Education to interdict that teacher. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what has been the impediment in taking disciplinary action against those teachers who have been misappropriating public funds? view
