• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I was breaking agriculture down. I said it includes maize, rice and potatoes. In terms of stability in this country, the percentage of consumption of ugali is higher than other foods. We are talking about the share of the pocket. When you talk about the share of the pocket, you break down household foods. We have ugali, rice and githeri . When you break down the percentage share of the pocket, you find that ugali constitutes a higher percentage. That is why I was trying to contextualise what the other Hon. Member mentioned. You cannot compare ugali and potatoes because ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: We discussed that we should prioritise other types of foods. We did not say it shall be 100 per cent maize. I want to put it correctly. We are calling upon our Senators to act because agriculture is a devolved function. Our governors must prioritise matters of agriculture right now. Member for Meru, Hon. (Bishop) Mwangaza, has a very good Motion of trying to sensitise the youth so that they can go into agriculture. We know very well that when students finish university, they look for other jobs. They do not want to go into agriculture. If we can have ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: handshake. We know that food security plays a very critical role as far as security of any country is concerned. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: There is the issue of division of revenue. We have been having a lot of differences. We should amend that particular section of the Constitution, so that we can avoid wastage of time when the Bill goes to the Senate and there is mediation sometimes. When it delays, it follows without saying that it delays the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. We debated the Government Contracts Bill which we finalised. It is on the way to State House for purposes of assent. It is a very important Bill. When we were discussing it, there was an issue of the provision ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to second this Procedural Motion. Ordinarily on Wednesday in the morning, we discuss business meant for Private Members. As the Leader of the Majority Party has clearly put it, there are important businesses in the Order Paper that will be given priority so that we can finalise on them before we break for the recess. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to raise what Hon. Owen has just said. It is true we have seen this year- round things are moving very fast. Form ones have already been selected. Very soon when we get back, we will have challenges particularly with the orphans who have done very well and are admitted to national schools since they are given priority in terms of reporting. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I am requesting our good Chair, though he has come back looking different… I can see he has a different hairstyle. Hon. Maoka Maore, while you were away, we missed you. Kindly, move with speed and even summon the Cabinet Secretary to explain why he has not brought the names of NG-CDF board members. I understand there is no way NG-CDF can move without board members. This is something which is very critical. With the help of the Leader of the Majority Party who conducts Government business here, I do not think it should be a big problem. So that ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Osotsi. The world is now a global village. I want to try as much as possible not to mention what other colleagues have said. The provision of free Wi-Fi is a noble idea. Free internet and free Wi-Fi will make work easier particularly to our unemployed youth because they can do e-business. In the field of academia, internet is very critical. I want to quote what Hon. Nelson Mandela said; “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. ... view
