• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: I will proceed and ask the questions. view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also thank the Cabinet Secretary for coming before this August House today. My question is as follows: (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary disclose the food commodities being imported duty free, stating the approved packaging and container sizes. (b) Which companies have applied for pre-qualification to import food commodities duty free from September, 2022 to date; and how many of this have been issued with permits to import? (c) How many companies have so far imported goods; and what actions will the Ministry take against the pre-qualified companies which have not complied with the terms ... view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will ask one Question now and the other later on. Thank you for the opportunity. I also thank the Cabinet Secretary for the answers but it seems that these Cabinet Secretaries do not even talk to each other. I am wondering. The Cabinet Secretary is talking about rice being sold at Kshs1800. Two weeks ago, the Cabinet Secretary for East African Community (EAC), ASALs and Regional Development, Hon. Miano, was before us. She talked about buying relief supplies. That is, 50 kilograms of rice at Kshs7500. Is this the same Government the Cabinet ... view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I cannot be that short because this is my question and I was given these answers very late. That is not my fault, but the Cabinet Secretary’s. I want to put a question to the Cabinet Secretary and it will be a bit broader. There is something that I do not understand. According to the Cabinet Secretary for Investment, Trade and Industry, there was a duty exemption for Kenya National Trading Cooperation (KNTC) on 150 metric tonnes of rice, 200 metric tonnes of sugar and 80 metric tonnes of maize. Similarly, there is an ... view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: If the Government has given exemptions to the tune of billions of Dollars, does it mean that the money that was exempted is not public money? Hon. Cabinet Secretary, what are you going to do, so that the two ministries can sit, discuss and agree on which formula to use? Will use the KNTC formula, which is going to be very expensive for this country? If KNTC gives an order of commodities and the prices of the goods abroad go down, KNTC is going to lose heavily. view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: What are you going to do to incorporate the importation of goods between your Ministry and the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry so that you concentrate on one way of importing goods? I accept that the way you are doing it is the best way because the Government is not incurring any costs and losses. However, KNTC is going to make heavy losses because of the exchange rate of the Dollar and also price variations. view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Finally, would I be wrong to ask this Hon. House to initiate a Parliamentary inquiry to investigate your Ministry? We are aware that your Ministry and the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry are giving permits under the table. Will I be wrong if I say that we need to investigate both Ministries? There are many corruption issues being rumoured around and I want you to answer me in a short formula. view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me first of all thank the Cabinet Secretary for the answers. I also appreciate that as a farmer, I got some fertilizer for my farm in Naivasha at a reduced price. My question is- (a)How much money has been disbursed in respect of the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP) which is funded by the World Bank to counties forming the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC) particular Marsabit County from 2017 up to date? (b)What is the status of implementation of programmes under the project? (c) Could the Cabinet Secretary clarify whether there ... view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker. It is like you got the letter yesterday. The question asked by Sen. Lomenen was a question that was asked two months ago. Why should somebody wait until yesterday to write a letter to the Speaker of the Senate? We need to--- view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I welcome the Cabinet Secretary. He is doing his job well and I thank him. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltumbesi who is also my neighbour and we share a common border. When he talks about issues affecting Samburu County, those issues also affect Marsabit County. The Cabinet Secretary has confirmed that Marsabit has a registry. I wanted to know about land view
