• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government in respect to circumstances under which public funds were used in facilitating councillors to attend a private meeting in Gatundu South Constituency between 21st and 23rd November, 2010, a meeting which was addressed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, hon.

• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When I raised this point of order, it is because I was trying to think ahead of time. The time I was thinking ahead of is now; that, we are going to be expected to make a decision on two important constitutional commissions. The decision that we are making is to constitute those commissions. So, if we cannot respect the decision of an earlier constitutional commission that we made, how sure could Kenyans be that whatever decisions these new commissions we are making, are going to be respected? Mr. Speaker, Sir, with due respect, the ... view

• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for quickly ensuring that now farmers will get access to this money at the rate of 5 per cent directly from Equity Bank rather than going through the millers. The only request I would like to make is that the Minister should table in this House the authorization that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance has now given to Equity Bank so that it does not just amount to a question of diplo-speak in the House. But more importantly, could he also confirm to the House ... view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the former chairman of the KSB, who was recently suspended has been fighting with the Ministry of Agriculture with a view of ensuring that the Ministry gives this authorization. Because of insisting that he would not release the Kshs500 million, he was suspended. Could the Minister now reinstate Mr. Obado, the Chairman of KSB now that the reason why he was suspended has been acceded to by the Government? So, the man should not be punished for having pushed the agenda of sugarcane farmers. view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to mislead the House. The Minister for Agriculture has usurped the powers of the KSB to the extent that she has not only sacked the Chairman of the Board but she has also suspended the Chief Executive Officer of the KSB. According to the Act, she does not have these powers. Could she, on a point of order, tell us what interest she has in the Board which is personal to the extent that she goes on and usurps the powers of the KSB? view
