• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to air my sentiments. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 2nd July 2014, I asked a question to the Chairman of Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. When I was requesting the statement he was not present; therefore, the matter was taken over by the Leader of Majority Party. The Leader of Majority Party said very categorically that my request was very simple and clear, and it would be responded to in one week’s time. When the Chairperson of the Committee walked in this Chamber, I gave him a copy of ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have two clarifications to seek from the Chair. He should follow up issues in the Committee when he meets the Commission. He said that there are gazetted units, or areas, where the recruitment was being undertaken. Some units have several constituencies. If the exercise was done without using constituencies as units, some areas were disadvantaged to the extent that the recruitment was done in one centre serving two constituencies. For example, my constituency was lumped together with Igembe South. My constituency was disadvantaged because the two constituencies shared the 25 slots instead of one constituency getting ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The second issue is that the exercise was to start at 8.00 a.m. and end at 5.00 p.m., but in some areas it went up to 4.00 a.m., so that corruption could be accommodated. Under the cover of darkness, these things happened. Legally, if the exercise was supposed to end at 5.00 p.m., why did it go on up to 4.00 a.m.? The exercise should be nullified in those areas. Finally, as my brother has said, we should know who is going to do the investigations. Is it the same people who were corrupted who are going to undertake the ... view

• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: First Schedule Part 3 Insert the following new item at the end thereof— “ Miraa ............................ catha edulis ” view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I propose that we add the words “ Miraa” or “ catha edulis” to the foot of the scheduled crops at the last line where we have fig tree, mangoes, avocadoes, citrus fruits and pawpaws. This House is alive to the fact that recently, we had an ad hoc Committee which was dealing with the Miraa issue. We went very far and tabled our Report in this House, which was gracefully adopted by the House. I really thank the Members for that. I want to move further and add this important crop in the Meru Community and Kenya as a ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We had problems in the Committee, trying to get the history or the background of what research has ever been done on Miraa. When officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries came to the Committee, they reported that they did not know anything about Miraa because it was not among the scheduled crops. Therefore, they did not have any information. When we went to the researchers, we found that they have done very little about Miraa. Once this crop of the great Meru is included in the scheduled crops, it will have that protection and will get funding. ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Exactly. I strongly believe that the Members know what we have gone through. I request hon. Rotino to second. view
