• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Stimulus Project Management Committee, as indicated by the Assistant Minister, is supposed to be providing advice. They advised the contractor. The DHMT also instructed the contractor to use stones. In the neighbouring districts, the construction is being done using stones. Why is there scarcity of quarry stones in my constituency and not in the other constituencies? Is he really convinced that there is scarcity of quarry stones? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard the Assistant Minister stating that he is not aware that farmers are selling their maize at Kshs800 per bag. That is a very clear indication that he does not care about the fate of the farmers in this country. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say there is no genuine evidence and yet, he has confirmed that this person got injured in a company vehicle. Is he in order to avoid answering the question and committing the company? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: He has also indicated that they have opened Kipkarren Depot for farmers to store their maize until such a time they will sell it. How much will he charge these farmers for storage? How long will he keep maize for them? How big is Kipkarren Depot? How much maize can it store? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid answering the question which is: How much will they charge every farmer per day or per month for them to stock maize with the Government? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious case. The farmer in this country is really suffering and you have had the Assistant Minister talk of liberalization. Currently, there is a ban on export of maize from this country. Is the Assistant Minister telling us that they have liberalized the market to the extent that farmers can sell their maize anywhere in the world? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister indicate here that the ban on export of maize is for them to be able to mop up the maize for the SGR. Is he is in order to gag the farmers at Kshs1,500 per bag and actually for them to sell their maize to the Government by insisting on the ban on export of maize? view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as earlier stated by my colleagues, this is a very grave issue. If you visit most hospitals today, you will find that they have designated certain wards as “ boda boda ” wards because of the many accidents that occur as a result of this situation. I appreciate the frustrations of the Assistant Minister. Can he confirm to Kenyans that he is actually stating here that he is being frustrated by the Office of the President to the extent that Kenyans are losing lives? view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to appreciate and thank the Ministry for starting the school feeding programme, especially for the nomadic children. In Kenya, students in public day primary schools go home for lunch and return in the afternoon. The same applies to Standard VIII students who are preparing for the national examinations. Could the Minister consider providing, within the free primary education framework, some money so that students in Standard VIII could get lunch within the school, so that they can compete favourably with the students in the academies? view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) why the farmers in the North Rift who have supplied maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) have not been paid for the deliveries; (b) when the farmers will be paid; and, (c) what informed the decision to reduce the price of maize from Ksh2,300 to Ksh1,500 per bag, and what measures the Government is putting in place to ensure that the maize farmers do not incur losses. view
