• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: taken against those people who have taken advantage of their networks to take the subsidised fertiliser, and to cheat farmers. It is not only a loss to the farmers, but also an issue to do with the food security in this country. As we look at Galana Kulalu Project, that subsidised fertiliser will help the farmers, particularly in North Rift, where God has given us arable land. We have good rains. We do not need irrigation. The Government should invest more and provide subsidised fertiliser. The farmers from that region rely on farming to pay fees for their children. It ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. He did not know that he was supposed to have said something. I want to thank Hon. Wamunyinyi and the entire House for passing this important Bill. This is great news for the people from sugarcane-growing areas. The import of this Bill is to remove the levy imposed on sugarcane farmers, particularly when it comes to transport. Transport contributes to almost 40 per cent of the total production cost. If the Government removes this levy, it would mean that the total production cost will be reduced. As such, sugarcane farmers will be competitive against the ... view

• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the amendment by Hon. Washiali. It is just semantics and it is true it is direct from the Constitution. This is not something we should waste a lot of time on. We just accept it and move on. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for that ruling that we should not allow any amendments. I did it out of duress. I support this Motion. The matter of the IEBC is an extraordinary disease that needs an extraordinary prescription. I thank the leadership of CORD and the Jubilee Government for accepting to have his Motion on the Floor of the House. Matters of elections are very serious that we must pay attention to. This Motion did not come easily. As Members have mentioned, lives were lost and blood was shed. My humble request to this House is that we support the ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the consultations are very high. Hon. Mbadi and the Leader of the Majority Party are making noise. Can you order them to sit down? My humble request to the 14 Members who have been selected is that they debate this matter with sober minds. I can see Hon. Kuria is paying a lot of attention and he is one of the Members of the Committee. I assume he is going to do good work. I have no doubt that this Committee, with the blessings from the church, has what it takes. All the 42 million Kenyans are looking ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The father of the civil society in America, Martin Luther King Junior, a priest and a humanitarian, once said that “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”. I want to thank all those people who never remained silent because matters of elections are important in any democratic society. He also said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy”. We cannot walk this journey alone. All Kenyans are looking at this. We must ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: is important to note that this was a negotiated matter. We do not know the interests that were there. We should conclude this matter within 30 days. We should not entertain sideshows. We should focus on the critical objective of this Motion. We have heard cases of many registers at the IEBC, the green and the black books. The Joint Select Committee should ensure that we only have one register. We will not accept two or three registers because this is the source of rigging. If we do not have a clear register, then we rather disqualify everything we have ... view
