• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second this Motion. I thank my brother, Hon. Melly, for giving me this chance to second this Motion. At the outset, let me congratulate you on your appointment to the Chairpersons Panel. I believe today is your first day. I wish you all the best in your current appointment. Having said that, I can see my colleagues especially from the sugar region are wondering why a miraa man has been told to do this but I strongly believe that this is a House of rules and we are ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: sell. If not that, then those people who are managing those institutions are reaping from farmers’ sweat and these are the ones who need to be punished. They should be called upon to pay in arrears and with interest view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: You have heard people’s machinery being collected by banks, others are unable to pay their bank loans because of high interest rates, and yet somebody is waiting for another season to come for the same crop. That is illegal and wrong. If it is the production cost, then the Government should supplement or put a fixed cost of how much a tonne of sugar-cane should cost. Therefore, before the miller comes to collect sugar-cane, he is already aware how much he owes the farmer. You do not wait to do the milling and then when you have packed and everything ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: We used to have pyrethrum in this country. We used to plant pyrethrum in my home area in Meru, even in my own farm, but we have forgotten the business today. If you go to some old men today, they will produce records of receipts of kilos which they already delivered to the Pyrethrum Board and 10 or 20 years down the line, they have never been paid. Then you find that children do not go to school, people cannot renovate their houses and cannot use those view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: any longer because soil has been drenched by the chemicals which are put in the view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: You see farmers languishing in poverty and somebody pocketed all the money and took off with it. The poor management of our cash crops, especially sugar-cane and poor production cost which bring a lot of overheads on it are causing this problem. Therefore, we have to put a policy in place to address this issue in order to save farmers from this exploitation. We can also save our families. Those people who want to educate their children should do it using their resources instead of going to beg for bursaries or other things. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion and thank my colleague, Hon. Melly, for giving me this opportunity to second. Thank you. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support the inclusion of New Clause 12. In the world presently, you cannot get enough people to know the information you want to deliver if you are gagged and not allowed to advertise using social media, newspapers or broadcast. So, I support that the Government should not be gagged not to sell its projects or programmes. There are people who are not in the capital city or near where these things are done. So, without advertising, information will not reach the people as the Government would like. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: This one. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to contribute to this Motion on approval of the protocol to operationalize the extended jurisdiction of the East African Court of Justice. The confusion came when the Leader of the Majority Party was moving the Motion. He requested the Speaker to allow him to start with Order No.10 and not Order No.9 and the Speaker approved it. That is where the confusion could have started. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: This Protocol is one of those that the East African countries have been trying to ratify since the breakup of the East Africa Community many years back. We have been trying to bring our East African brothers together and it has taken a while. All in all, things are moving well. Already, we have succeeded to come up with the Customs Protocol which is already in place. We are now dealing with the issue of the jurisdiction on the East African Court of Justice. There is also the Monetary Protocol which is taking time to be finalized. Having been a ... view
