• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to also thank the hon. Minister for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 for coming up with this very well selected members of the Board. It has been an anxious time waiting for the Board to be constituted. Life has been at standstill in many parts of the country, especially Kimilili Constituency. So, it will be very good if the Minister would move to fill the vacancies in the Board when he constitutes it. Life has been at a standstill because I have been unable to disburse any bursary funds. There has been ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Member in order, being the Assistant Minister for Defence, to talk about a ceasefire? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam, Temporary Deputy Speaker. My names are Dr. David Eseli Simiyu, Member for Kimilili Constituency. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I stand to support the Motion I would like to commend two people; one of them is hon. C. Kilonzo for bringing this Motion, because we in Kenya are not very good at control, to the extent that we spit on our roads with no control, and also throw trash around with no control. If this Motion is passed, I would like to urge the Mover to move with haste and bring the Bill to the House. The ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I am Dr. Eseli Simiyu from Kimilili Constituency. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all the hon. Members who have contributed so far, have made the impression that the accountancy profession plays a very big role in trying to stamp out corruption in this country, and that having a regulatory body would be very important to serve that purpose. However, it disturbs me when I go through this Bill and find that they have got some bits and pieces here, which are avenues for ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that as a result of the recent political turmoil in the country, the prices of farm inputs, especially fertilizer have shot up astronomically and farmers are unable to prepare for the current planting season? (b) What rescue package has the Government put in place to assist farmers and to avoid imminent famine and food shortage? view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Question by Private Notice and it is very important. If we wait until next week, it will be too late and we will have famine next year. We should have had a solution two weeks ago. I do not think we have time to wait any longer. For how long does he want us to wait? 354 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 25, 2008 view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Leader of Government Business for giving me that answer, which is quite useful. However, how do the farmers access these inputs? These are farmers who were not displaced and they need this assistance. How will they access it? This is very critical at the moment. view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I sympathise with the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), I would say that the majority of farmers were not displaced. They are unable to plant their crops. Why are we playing Russian-roulette with the future of this country? Are we waiting for food riots next year before we wake up? I am asking these questions because this is a very important issue. Could the Leader of Government Business, therefore, liaise with the Ministry of State for Special Programmes so that they treat this matter as one of the branches of disaster management? This is because, indeed, we ... view
