• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I accept, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, also I wish to inform the House that as we empower KIRDI, we need to know who is better placed to manage this country in that route of empowering individuals from bottom up not up down. We need to ask ourselves who exactly is better placed. That is within everybody’s knowledge and is in the public domain. When we talk about a symbol like a wheelbarrow, we want a situation where this honourable House should sit and say how best it can improve it. Maybe by putting an engine so it can go uphill the way ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to weigh in on this water policy that is long overdue. One time, when we were handling irrigation, we talked about the issue of water. I am glad the Committee has come up with a policy. As my colleague has rightfully said, water is life, and there is no doubt about it. I am glad we are going in the right direction by taking the issue of water seriously. It is very saddening that we are still talking about water 60 years after Independence. In some countries, water is ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: flows everywhere. They focused on that matter and took it seriously. We cannot operate without water if we are to achieve food security. Our landmass is so big, but a good portion will require irrigation to farm. Our communities are farmers. Over 80 per cent of communities in Kenya are farmers. Without water, we will never move an inch. So, we need to take this matter seriously. We must see to it that this water policy is implemented. If this Government does not implement it, I can promise this House that the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Government will certainly implement ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also weigh in on the ratification of this Protocol. First and foremost, I thank the Committee which has handled this Protocol. I also thank my brother, Hon. Sankok, for the comments he made on PWDs and the elderly, and also as my colleagues have also mentioned. If you travel to the developed world like the United States of America and Europe, there is a category of people called senior citizens and PWDs. They do not play games with those individuals. They give them the decency and ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to weigh in on the issue of co-operatives. Earlier on I had queued to discuss the matter that was before the House on fuel, unfortunately I did not get an opportunity. I will pass the points I had to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, especially on removal of the formula used by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), so that competition can be left to reign in the industry. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The co-operatives sector, as we have heard from the Members who have contributed, is very important. We have heard Hon. Maanzo rightfully saying that Kenya is doing quite well in the co-operatives sector and can do better. For example, countries like Brazil and Indonesia are quite ahead in the co-operatives movement. You will find their farmers pulling resources together. They have been raised economically because of co-operative movements. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Counties in Kenya need to take co-operative issues seriously. This is because agriculture is devolved and it can do very well if we promote co-operatives. For example, rural economies can only do well when resources are pooled. When farmers A and B collect their milk together, they are able get better prices. When the Brooksides of this world and Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) collect milk, they always prefer to give better prices where they collect a big quantity of milk. The only place in a rural economy where you can collect a good quantity of milk is in a co- ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: For example, there are co-operatives which used to do very well in the 1970s and 1980s. Some collapsed but they had to be revived and are doing very well at the moment because people have known the goodness of co-operatives. Hon. Sankok commended the Leader of the Majority Party for actually mentioning the bottom-up economy, which stems from co-operatives. We will promote this sector through the bottom-up economy. There are those who almost lost the journey The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: of co-operatives like Mwalimu National Savings and Credit Cooperative Society (SACCO) when they went into banking and forgot how they became big. That is why they are facing problems. view
