• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I move this Motion, I would like to thank the Clerk of the National Assembly for receiving my notice of Motion. I would also like to thank the Speaker for approving the Motion and the House Business Committee for putting it on the Order Paper. More importantly, I would like to thank thousands of Kenyans who have constantly been in communication with me, giving me information, including documents that have made this Motion credible. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to point out that the reason why this Motion is very important is because there are sufficient provisions in the current statutes of the country, which were deliberately contravened by the Minister. The Minister contravened the Standing Orders of the House, the Powers and Privileges Act, the Public Officer and Ethics Act and the National Cereals and Produce Act. In so far as the Standing Orders are concerned, I would like to point out that the Minister deliberately misled Parliament on maize holding at the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and purported ... view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard an hon. Member ask which sections were contravened. The Public Officer and Ethics Act, Section 12(4), says:- view

• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today's Motion is the third such Motion to be moved in the history of this country. The first Motion was moved by Mr. Makokha, who was the then Member of Parliament for Mt. Elgon West, in 1965. The Minister then was the late Paul Ngei. The Motion was moved because the country had become insecure in connection with food, two years after Independence. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Members of Parliament then, upon listening to Mr. Makokha, found that it was dangerous to allow the Strategic Grain Reserves (SGR) to go without food. They censured Mr. Paul Ngei and, in spite of his having been very close to the late Kenyatta, whom he served a sentence with at Kapenguria, the President asked him to step aside and he stayed out of Government for one year until 1966 when he was reinstated. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The second Motion was in 1979, when Mr. Onyango Midika moved a Motion against Mr. J. Osogo, who was then the Minister for Agriculture. Again, Parliament found that it was dangerous for SGR to go without food. A Member of Parliament that day moved an amendment, which led to the current status of the NCPB, but because Mr. Onyango Midika had been talking about serious matters, a few years later, due to the process of re-organising NCPB, there was famine in this country and Mr. Moi, then President, brought in yellow maize. view
