• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is quite clear that we are going round in circles and we know that the rules of this House require that when a question is taken to the Minister, he or she should be seen to be responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of the answer. view
• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: To allow this House to accept the list the Minister is tabling is to assume that he does not know what he is doing because he knows that the only authentic list that can give light to this House is not the one that he has given us. The only one that can shed light is that one that is contained on the authority to release maize. This list is normally signed by the trustees. Is the Minister telling this House that what he has given us has been signed by the trustees? view
• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: He should retract this list and give us the list that has been signed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, Permanent Secretary for Agriculture and the Permanent Secretary, Treasury together with the Managing Director of NCPB. Then on that list, the House will be able to see whether the companies mentioned by hon. Kioni are on it or not.

I have a heavy heart because what the Coalition Government has visited on Kenyans is exactly what President Mengistu visited on Ethiopians in 1984. What we are seeing in Kenya now is exactly what happened in Ethiopia. For Ethiopians to come out of this, it required the intervention of musicians in New York and London.

They sang and money was brought but instead of President Mengistu buying food with that money, he used it to force people into a resettlement scheme that they did not want. This eventually led to a revolution. We want to make sure that this support that is coming in is put in good hands for purposes of ensuring that the intended purpose is the one that will be realised. view
• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have no problem with the loan. We would like the money to be guaranteed and what we are asking the Minister is not too much. We are simply saying that there are two options: Either he replaces the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) as the lead agency or if he does not want that, we are asking that the management at the NCPB be overhauled.
