• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. In the 11th Parliament, there were a lot of amendments in the matters relating to lottery, gaming and betting. That particular 1966 Act needed a lot of amendments and it became very patched up with one amendment after another. Some of them were very bulky. One of the greatest issues was taxation and what happens when these monies are collected. I am happy that the Committee led by Hon. Munyaka has come up with a Bill which is very useful to the country. ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: concluded but the businessmen and women involved have been upset by one thing or another in the past. Therefore, it is good to regulate this and to make sure that we have a law which luckily has been compared very well with other jurisdictions like the UK experience and the Las Vegas experience in the Nevada State. This is where a lot of it happens and they have very good controls from the American Government. There are also regulations. I have also seen that it has a clause for regulations. So, the CS in charge will again approach the Committee ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. One of the things mentioned here is that Kenya needs to get organised into associations following the collapse of agricultural cooperatives. To a great extent, it is true agricultural cooperatives have gone through serious challenges. Once upon a time, they did very well. We are still very good in cooperatives in Kenya compared to the rest of Africa and many parts of the world. Therefore, as much as we may not be doing very well in terms of coffee, the tea sector ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Cooperatives and farmers’ associations are all private entities. The Government facilitates and gives budgetary support to these organisations which are private in nature. There are many ways the national Government can support this through expertise and through many programmes that are run through the Ministry of Agriculture, some of them sponsored by different organisations such as donors who have done a number of good activities in many counties in the country. They have done dairies for farmers such as the one done by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Makueni Constituency at a place called Kathonzweni. Farmers ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: When we complete the Thwake Dam, which is being done in Makueni and Kitui, we are going to increase production. We know what is happening in Kulalu-Galana Irrigation Scheme. If we have value addition, for example, the case of maize - we process maize to flour in an organised manner - then we are likely to achieve what this Motion is urging. So, the main idea is to reorganise. Since they have talked of collapsed cooperatives, the Ministry of Cooperatives should be challenged once more through the Commissioner of Cooperatives, who is a very important person under the Cooperatives Act. ... view
