• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to the Chair, the Question on the World Bank projects touches on the lives of the whole western Kenya and Nyanza. We feel that we have not been given time to ventilate. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Roads is one of the consumers of large amounts of money from the Ex-chequer and yet the road network is still very dilapidated. This is a case of a contractor who has failed to perform. Could the Assistant Minister tell us the criterion that was used to award this contractor the contract given the fact that he does not appear to have the capacity? This is a countrywide problem. I think the problem lies with the roads engineers on the ground who enrich themselves instead of doing the roads. What has the Assistant ... view

The Minister has told us where they have decided to put up these mini tanneries, but hides and skins are found all over the country. In fact, in my constituency, there is a place with that same specific name called Kamasero because of the abundance of hides and skins. Could he tell us whether there is a master plan on how to harness the leather products in this country rather than in those few specific areas he has mentioned? view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) what measures he is taking to ensure that farmers use the correct fertilizer at every planting season; (b) what the recent soil analysis results in areas with high agricultural potential such as the Rift Valley and Western Kenya are as well as the recommended fertilizers for this region; and, (c) what the procedure for individual farmers to access the results of soil analysis for guidance on fertilizer use is. view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, definitely, the Assistant Minister has misunderstood my Question. This is because it was about the use of correct fertilizers and not the quality of the fertilizer. You have gone ahead to tell us that the Rift Valley and parts of Western Province have been shown to have high acidity and low phosphorus. Why are you dumping Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer in Rift Valley and Western Province when it is not suitable? What measures is the Ministry taking to ensure that farmers get the correct fertilizers, because the yield of maize per acre has gone done from ... view
