• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the House and Maj. Sugow, the mover of the amendment and the amendment Motion. I want to thank the Government for supporting this Motion and I want to thank every person and all of you who have shown concern for this Motion.

• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to plead with my colleagues this afternoon. Dr. Khalwale and I have served together in this House for two terms; that is, for the last 10 years or so. He has been the Chairman of a very important Committee in this House. He has also been an active Member of this House. He has moved very good and important Bills including the last one of the Opinion Polls Bills. He has done many good things in this House. I only stood up to say that yesterday’s Press conference was obviously out of turn ... view

• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my small contribution to this Bill. view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to start by saying that if the Government will require this amendment to improve this sector, then I fully support The Sugar (Amendment) Bill of 2011. I would like to somewhat quote the hon. Assistant Minister. When he was seconding the Bill, he said that there is a shortage in terms of the production capacity in this country to satisfy local consumption. He gave an example of 2011 where the amount of sugar that was consumed within the country was something like 700,000 metric tonnes against a production of about 400,000 metric tonnes. ... view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to ask the Minister that as she strengthens this regulatory regime that she wants us to pass in this Bill, this Ministry must start looking outside the box. I agree with these amendments. The sugar levy must have its own trustees to run separate from the regulatory framework, but even as it comes, and even the Vote from the Government, why can you not start doing things down at the Tana Delta? Tana River County has capacity to produce good quality and cheap sugar that can help us even compete effectively. ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as we defer this Question and the Assistant Minister for Finance talks about the ceiling of Kshs61 billion to the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, is he aware that there is money in the field? There has been a two-month delay and yet, the Office of the President normally leads in terms of getting funding. There is no money which has reached in the field. Could the Assistant Minister clarify what is happening to the Government? view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you on that but he is the right one to tell us why DCs--- There is no money in the field and he is able to tell us if there is a delay for two months. What is he doing? If he can do it, could he post this money to the officers, at least, in Tana River, Lamu and all these counties? There is no money in the field and the Assistant Minister is sitting there comfortably. What is happening in the field? view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, liberalization came from the capitalist nations. There is no bigger capitalist nation than the United States of America. In those view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: capitalist countries, fares are regulated. So, it is the height of impunity for the Government to use the argument of liberalization to abdicate responsibility. We want the Assistant Minister to tell this country when he is going to convene a stakeholders’ meeting in the industry that provides transport to this country and what--- In fact, we should defer this Question so that the Minister can come and tell us specifically when he will be convening the stakeholders’ meeting so that they can start the process of being fair to Kenyans. view
