• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is fair to give the CEO four years and the board three years. The cycle of a university normally takes almost four years for students to graduate. Normally, when the curriculum is being implemented, it is revised after four years. If we keep changing the CEOs in the middle, it disrupts the system or curriculum in place. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose the amendment. We need time to consult the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research to have a more consultative framework so that most of the sector is consulted. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support this Bill. As many speakers have said, warehouse receipt system is an innovative one in which a receipt is given to farmers for the produce or goods they deliver to a particular licensed warehouse to be stored in a good condition. The farmer will then receive a receipt which he can use to leverage with regard to farm inputs and loans from financial institutions. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: This is a good system through which farmers can be assisted to get better prices for their goods. It will also help farmers to reduce losses associated with storage, for example, the issue of pests. We know many farmers do not have the financial might to keep the produce, especially cereals, in good condition. The system will also remove the monopoly of the NCPB which has been the main storage facility for the country’s strategic food reserve. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: We know that many times farmers have been asking the Government to come to their aid to buy their produce. With this system in place, we believe there will be a series of licensed warehouses across the country where farmers will store their cereals. The system will assist farmers to store their produce in good condition. Again, the farmers will be protected from the fluctuation of prices of cereals. At harvesting time, the price of most cereals goes down. That is when the farmers do not get value for their harvest given the fact that they use a lot of ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as a member of this Committee, I would like to first of all correct a notion that Members on the other side are necessarily the best. We are on this side and we belong to the Majority Party. We also contribute on the other side. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to support this particular Motion. We looked at the facts. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving Kenafric Industries Limited an opportunity to be heard. You made a very crucial and important decision which will guide this country for many years to come. Whenever a Committee’s report comes in, it should be weighed. If a particular party or person feels aggrieved, he or she should be given an opportunity to be heard. We listened to Kenafric Industries Limited. They appeared before us. We looked at the facts and they were ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: We also learnt one thing which is very important. I was a Member of the Sugar Committee which did not succeed on the Floor of this House. We discovered that there is no industrial sugar which is processed in this country. We were told earlier that a factory in Kibos processes industrial sugar. However, when we probed this company which uses industrial sugar, they said that they import most of the sugar which they use for confectionery and biscuits. When we examined the facts, we gave them an opportunity to explain. They even said that during the time when the ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Kenafric Industries Limited does a lot of work. We also realised that if you convert industrial sugar into table sugar, it is so expensive. It makes no sense. Therefore, it looks like the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock never looked at it critically. They did not understand some of the allegations which were made by AFFA. We also feel that AFFA did not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: carry out the resolutions of this House. They recommended five companies to be barred from importation of sugar but they did not do that. Companies like Hydra and others went ahead and participated in importing sugar. So, we feel that sometimes resolutions passed by this House are adhered to by some of the Government agencies. In this particular case Kenafric Industries Limited was later denied a licence. view
