• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As much as I appreciate that the Ministry is on the same side as ourselves, I am still a bit baffled. The Ministry of Agriculture had approved that the loan be paid by KSB. I want a categorical commitment that the approval that was given by the Ministry of Agriculture to pay that loan still stands irrespective of whether we have a new board in place or not. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will remember that I requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture last week and the Speaker directed that she gives that Statement yesterday. Unfortunately she was not in the House and the Speaker directed that she should give that Statement this morning. I hope I can get that Statement this morning. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last Tuesday, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture regarding the sale of land belonging to Busia Sugar Company by Mumias Sugar Limited. The farmers are up in arms because they are not sure of the status of this land. Mumias Sugar Company was promised to be paid for this land by the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) after authorization from the Ministry of Agriculture, but instead of waiting to be paid they rushed to court and got a court order authorizing them to sell the piece of land by ... view

• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for being hard on me, but being extremely kind towards the end. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I wish to stand up to request a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture. Mumias Sugar Company (MSC) claim it is owed over Kshs100 million by Busia Sugar Company (BSC) Limited. Because of that, they approached the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) to take over the loan. The KSB agreed that they were going to pay that loan. However, before they did so, they needed to do an audit on the books of MSC to ascertain that the ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your indulgence. Let the Minister come here and clarify this because two official searches have produced different results and they were actually carried out yesterday. One shows that the land still belongs to the Busia Sugar Company and another one shows that it belongs to somebody else who bought the land. This was done on the same day from the same Land Registrar. The Minister should come here and clarify who is the true owner. Has any transaction taken place? What happens with the debt which the Kenya Sugar Board had undertaken ... view

• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister to have the facts as they stand today. We had two meetings with the Ministry of Finance, which is the parent Ministry that is in charge of privatisation. After that meeting, we agreed to have another meeting with them. We actually fixed dates for meetings with them, but they have failed on two or three occasions. So, the Committee has not failed. The Government has failed. The Ministry of Finance has failed. So, please, let us get the facts right. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this report is very important. I have read it page to page and I think the Committee should be commended for a job well done. The only challenge is whether what is in that report is going to be translated into action. I think that is the big question. A lot of these issues are issues that have been talked about as the Prime Minister has stated. They are all in the public domain and there is nothing new. It is just that they have now been nicely coordinated and put into a report which ... view
