• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for this opportunity to support this Motion and to the surprise of the Chair, I guess he thought I was going to oppose. Hon. Speaker, I would like to tell the Chairman that he should not go for half measures. He should have gone for full measures and brought here a Motion to completely repeal that Act. This is because that Act was crafted by people with ill motive in the Bretton Woods institutions. The whole idea of that was to collapse the agricultural backbone of this country. This matter was brought in at a time ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like the Leader of Majority Party to further clarify the fact that there is free maternal health services. When the mother to be goes to deliver, you expect her to give birth to a healthy baby. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what measures has the Government put in place to ensure that the off springs, the newborns under the free maternal delivery services are also taken care of? There is no point of having free maternal delivery services when the newborn has not been taken care of. What has been put in place to ensure that these newborns survive because infant survival has been a problem in the country? view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. With great respect to the Leader of Majority Party who has proven that he was weaned on KANU juice, I asked a very straightforward question. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: What has been put in place for the new borns at the hospital because when all these new borns are delivered some of them have problems? That cannot be the parent’s responsibility. It is a health responsibility. That is what I am asking about. It is not about the responsibility of the parents. It is when the infant is still at the hospital. If you did not get what I said earlier, I said that the Leader of Majority Party who I respect very much has proven over time with his utterances that he was weaned on KANU juice. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Respecting what you have said, I have listened to hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, the Chairman of the Budget Committee and the Chairman of the CDF. There is a danger we are facing here in the sense that in the financial year that is ending, money that was allocated to the CDF will not be fully disbursed. It will be disbursed less Kshs5.4 billion which is then being carried on to the next financial year. I am sure the next financial year’s projections for the CDF have already been made. Will the Kshs5.4 billion ... view

• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank hon. Chris Wakhungu for donating this brief moment to me. I rise to support the Motion and point out a few things. The importation of fertilizer has been a haphazard programme, which has mainly been implemented by what we would call businessmen who are up to make astronomical profits at the expense of the farmer. Those people actually make a lot of money from the Government by the subsidy that the Government gives. So, this kind of thing is not sustainable and we need to organize it in a better way ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to my colleague, who is raising a very important matter, which we should be able to debate exhaustively as a House, he has already started debating the Motion before the whole procedure is complied with. view
