• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute on this debate. As a Member of the Committee, we find this Bill to be very necessary at this time. Currently, we are talking about the Big Four Agenda, which include the area of food security. We also know that there are other sectors which require much irrigation. The flower sector requires irrigation. Vegetables are grown under irrigation, especially in Naivasha and Kinangop areas. Also, the cereals sector depends a lot on irrigation, especially rice production. The people of Mwea engage in a lot of irrigation to ... view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Irrigation is another way of providing jobs for the youth. Molo River passes through Mogotio Constituency. We have been using the river to boost the production of horticultural crops. It has enabled the youth to get income. They grow various horticultural crops, including French beans and vegetables, for sale. Therefore, irrigation will go along way in assisting the young people to get income in one way or another. I support this Bill because it will enable the youth to use irrigation as a better farming method and, therefore, create jobs for them. view

• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just want to seek clarification on whether we can discuss a citizen of another country. It looks like Mr. Miguna Miguna is not a Kenyan citizen. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to say one or two things about food security. It is one of The Big Four agenda for our Government. We have realised that fertiliser will be supplied to farmers late. Yesterday or two days ago, I was in Nakuru and a similar picture, which was witnessed in the North Rift, was there. There were long lines of lorries, empty stores, no fertiliser and crops were not being planted. I do not know what will happen. It looks like we are heading to another low production this year. We stare ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: This issue of fertiliser has been discussed, mentioned and the farmers are worried about what is going on. We had a meeting with the Principal Secretary in charge of crops last time. He assured us that there was fertiliser in the stores. We do not know whether it was taken away by cartels. I am sure the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock will investigate next week to find out what happened to the fertiliser which was supposed to be given to farmers. The issue of receiving maize from farmers is a problem. There is a lot of importation of ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Two, the quality of the fertiliser needs to be assured. Some farmers are worried because the quality is not assured. We want the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) to look into it, so that the quality which reaches the farmer will give us a bumper harvest. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, there is the issue of the NEMIS, which is very serious even in Baringo. We ask the Government to extend the period within which registration on NEMIS can be done by the schools. view
