• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the farmers in Busia, Nambale and Butula areas went into growing cane, they had a special interest. They wanted to maximise the profits of sugar-cane farming. Over the years, these farmers have lost money through deductions of Sugar Development Levy (SDL). Heavy deductions are made from their earnings by Mumias Sugar Company so as to meet the cost of haulage of cane over long distance, something which was not in receipt by the farmer. Since this was not the interest of the farmer, could he use Section 13 of the Sugar Act 2001, ... view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Assistant Minister for being so fluent in the Kamba language. This is a very serious matter. He has pointed out that a postmortem was actually done. My worry is that this was an incident which took place at the beginning of March. It is now almost 60 days. One would have expected that the postmortem report in respect of, amongst other things, the contents of the extract from the stomach, would have told us whether, indeed, there was any evidence of poisoning and also the possibility of DNA in 60 days ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm that what he is saying here is not mere diplo-speak? Towards the end of last week, leaders from the Rift Valley Province came out publicly and said that they wanted the return to normalcy in terms of the settlement of the IDPs to be delayed. Therefore, since the Minister comes from the same region, could he tell us how it is possible for him to give the IDPs seeds and fertilizer, delay their return to their farms and expect them to plant their farms? view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead the House that the solution to that problem lies with the clergy when he knows very well that all that is required is for them, the leaders, to go back to their people and ask them to accept fellow Kenyans and live with them? view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Minister clearly say that by asking about the fate of IDPs in this country, I am playing cheap politics. Is it in order for an hon. Minister to refer to me, yet he knows very well that I am very deep, as being cheap? Is that Parliamentary? Mr. Speaker, Sir, as Mr. Samoei speaks today people from my constituency were killed in Eldoret. We buried Mr. Liayi, for his information. I cannot, therefore, be playing cheap politics! I am raising a matter of national importance and he must respond! view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is not only the Vice-President, but the Leader of Government Business. Here is the Assistant Minister who is failing to recognise the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs as the Leader of Government Business by saying that he is consulting in his individual capacity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to insist that, indeed, this Question be deferred? In Western Province, three of the ODM candidates were also the prime movers of a pyramid scheme called Deci. This is a serious matter. Those ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I said, this is a very important issue. By requesting that the Question be deferred, I not only want the Assistant Minister to be prepared together with the Leader of Government Business, but he should also give me an opportunity to come here with actual documents showing the names of the view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: people who borrowed from Deci. Who were its owners in those respective areas? I want us to give this matter the attention it deserves. Please, defer the Question! April 29, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 717 view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said ODM(K). view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I meant specifically that the candidates who were the prime movers were candidates who lost on ODM(K) tickets. However having said that, I withdraw because I do not have the gift of prophecy that the hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is gifted with. Otherwise, I would have prophesied that this matter was going to come up and I would, indeed, have come with those documents. I withdraw! view
