• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has come out very clearly. However, what are the steps the Ministry is taking to engage the youth in Marakwet because of insecurity in the area? Insecurity in Marakwet is related to poverty and lack of resources. If we engage them in epi-culture and sericulture, the youth will stop engaging in activities that cause insecurity. When will the Assistant Minister send an expert to these two areas of Marakwet? view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads whether he could reduce the prices of murram per tonne as it has become too expensive to grade and open up murram roads in the rural areas. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as I agree with the Minister, I have two questions for him. I have analysed the cost of the murram on the road. I saw the cost of machines and that of murram. I have discussed with the Minister and discovered that the Question was actually misdirected. It was supposed to have gone to the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife. That is because the murram that I am asking about comes from the forest. I think the two Questions were misdirected. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Question was misdirected. It was misdirected to the Ministry of Roads and yet, it was supposed to go to the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife. There were two Questions. One was on the machines to reduce the cost of murram and the other one was about murram itself. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the price of murram from the communities is Kshs100 per tonne. If you go to the forest, the price is Kshs350 per tonne. I wanted the Forestry Department to reduce the price of murram. That is why I am saying that this Question was misdirected to the Ministry of Roads. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock Development:- (a) whether the Minister is aware that wool farming is the main source of livelihood to the people of Marakwet; (b) whether he is further aware that the per-unit cost of wool production has become higher than the earnings to the farmers; and, (c) what the Ministry is doing to ensure that wool farmers benefit from the activity. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me thank the Assistant Minister for this answer. However, three sections of the answer are misleading. Labot Sheep Multiplication Centre is not functioning, yet he says it is functioning. Another thing is that the Assistant Minister says farmers are being trained, yet there is no such training. I think the officers on the ground are misleading the Assistant Minister. I wish I got this answer earlier. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have several times asked Ministers to be concerned about their job. It is very important that we get these answers in our offices. I wish the ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister assure this House that he is going to send somebody to Labot, which he has mentioned today? He should be practical and not just theoretical. Labot Sheep Multiplication Centre should become a reality to farmers of Lelum/Pokot and Lelum/Marakwet, who really depend on this product. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us how much money the country is losing in form of foreign exchange, for buying wool from outside instead of getting it from this country? view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also join my colleagues to thank hon. Kapondi for bringing this Bill which is very important. I want to urge all men in this country to support and love their girls. It is very important that we take this one very seriously. It is the girls who have suffered psychologically, socially, education-wise and biologically. As hon. Odhiambo-Mabona has stated, there is a biological setback for the girls. They will also miss out on education. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me give one example of myself. My mother does not have a brother. She has four sisters. The way my grandfather was taken care of is comparable to those parents who have sons. I am telling you that girls are very important in this nation. If only these men could know that girls are very important--- Let us put all the children together but our priority should be on girls. They are very important. view
