• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am finding myself in an awkward position. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that the mandate of this Committee does not include issues concerning defence? They have even used the word “explore”. Is he in order to mislead this House? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. As I do so, I wish to note the failure, as we go home, by the Government to buy maize from farmers. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although we have provided in the Supplementary Budget Kshs5 billion to buy maize from farmers, more than 50 per cent of that money is going to go to the pockets of middlemen. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, despite numerous requests and demands to hon. Members from the farmers for the Government to buy this maize directly and open centres at locational level, or to have mobile units, the Government has turned a blind eye to this problem. It is of no point for leaders to organize a prayer breakfast for leaders to pray to God to lead this nation.

• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know you know what is happening in Kibwezi. How then do we organize a prayer breakfast? For what purpose?

We have to look at these issues seriously! Farmers countrywide are complaining that the Government has formed a cartel--- view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very obvious that successive governments had considered the North Eastern Province and northern Kenya as Kenya B or part of another country. When will the roads be tamacked? The Assistant Minister has said that they are looking for money. This is the same as the normal answer as “when funds will be available”. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House the plans that are there and when these roads will be tamacked? Could they also stop considering northern Kenya as Kenya B? view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to hide in the Ministry? We are talking about collective responsibility in the Government. He is the Government and his Minister sits in the Cabinet. We want to know whether you consider this part as part of this country. I am not expressing an opinion! It is a fact! You treat the north Eastern and northern Kenya as Kenya “B”. view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Therefore, it is very clear that the Assistant Minister has no answer for part “b” on when the roads will be tarmacked. Could this Question be deferred so that the Government can consider and come up with an appropriate answer? view
