• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for this opportunity to make this contribution. I will, probably, deviate a bit from the previous contributors, view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, a windmill is a very medieval piece of technology. The Assistant Minister has just said - and the Questioner has just asked – the shaft keeps on breaking down. That is a very medieval technology! Could the Assistant Minister tell this House when they will graduate to more recent technology in sourcing water for those dry lands? view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is something going on at the Ministry of Roads which is not quite right, in the sense that they are marginalising two provinces vis-a-vis infrastructure; the North Eastern and Western provinces. When the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance said there is Kshs1.2 billion for that road, it must have been there. Could the Assistant Minister tell us where this Kshs1.2 billion went? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to apologise to the House for being absent when this Question first came up. I was away in the constituency with the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC). That is why I was unable to ask two Questions on Tuesday and yesterday. I sincerely apologise. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Why is there no subsidized fertilizer in any of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots in Western Province and Trans Nzoia District? (b) Where was the fertilizer meant for these areas diverted to and what urgent measures is the Minister taking to remedy the situation before the current planting season ends? (c) How much free fertilizer and seeds have been distributed to needy families in Western Province, considering that the province has the highest poverty levels in the country? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has absolutely failed to answer the Question. I asked why there is no subsidized fertilizer and he is talking about being aware that there are limited stocks in some depots. He is not telling us what depots are these with limited fertilizers. To who is it limited and why is it limited? Why do the other depots not have it? Could he tell us which depot then has this limited fertilizer and who it is limited to? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House that there is a cereals depot in Kimilili when there is none? Is he in order? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a very sad day for Western Province. The Assistant Minister has actually greatly let down a large section of the citizens of this country. I specifically asked him how much fertilizer was left there and actually what he has read out here are minuscule amounts. He is talking of NPK when people are using CAN. The amount he is talking about means that the major fertilizer, which is DAP, is actually out of stock. Mr. Assistant Minister, you have heard my colleague from Rift Valley thanking you for supplying fertilizer in Rift Valley. You have ... view
