• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Allow me to sincerely thank the Minister for introducing this Bill on the Floor of the House. If there is something that needs reforms this moment, it is the amendment of the Tea Act to ensure that we protect the farmer and all that it takes with the tea. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, being aware that tea is the second foreign exchange earner in our country, and further aware that this country has the highest potential of many, many farmers growing tea, ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: levy shall be imposed. This levy replaces the CESS. One thing I am not fully sure of is why the change of the name. As the name is changed, when we look at the functions and the uses of the said money, I note that 50 per cent shall be applied by the Board in the manner provided in Section 19. When you look at Section 19, it talks about salaries, the Board, the management, the tea foundation and so forth. There is nothing to do with road maintenance. I would really want to know where the CESS will appear ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his answer, the Assistant Minister has indicated that it was after the Ministry, millers and farmers sat down that they had to improve the price to Kshs2,700 per bag. The Ministry imports wheat at a price of Kshs3,100 per bag. The reason we have a shortage is because the farmers have not been given a good price for it. Could the Assistant Minister consider giving wheat farmers the same price that the Government pays to import wheat so that many farmers could be encouraged to produce it? view

• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: (b) whether he could consider reinstating him. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for confirming that Mr. Hosea Ng’etich was an employee of New KCC. He comes from my constituency. The Assistant Minister has indicated that 13 employees were dismissed regarding some loses in the company. Could she table a document showing how much was lost and whether it has been recovered? Could she also table minutes of the staff advisory committee which sat to dismiss those people? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I asked the Assistant Minister to inform this House how much money has been recovered as a result of those people being dismissed. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has confirmed that Mr. Ng’etich was a very new employee and was dismissed together with 13 others just because of a loss of Kshs18,900. Could she re-look into this case to ensure that Ng’etich is reinstated and the money is recovered from him? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: It is not in order for the Government to keep on dismissing people and losing a lot of money. It would be better to punish the employees by recovering the money from their salaries. The New KCC is facing many challenges. Although the Assistant Minister has confirmed that they have sealed the loopholes, the truth is that there are many losses because of the company dismissing people on flimsy grounds to cover up on some losses that could be as a result of decisions by the senior management. view
