• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to fully support this Motion. What we are debating here is not something new. Very recently, we witnessed the death of so many livestock from North Eastern, Upper Rift Valley and Upper Eastern regions. At that time, you could not pass the Athi River area, where the KMC factory is located, because of the smell that was coming from the livestock that had died, leave alone the livestock that had died on the way to the KMC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was only last year when the Prime Minister of the Republic of ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. Before I second those amendments, let me wish all hon. Members a happy new year. I want to commend the Committee on the work they have done to ensure that together the Backbenchers and the Government are able to protect the lives of Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in seconding the amendment, I have two reasons to give. When you look at the Report one Brian Kiptanui Birir is a man who was arrested, taken to the cells and nobody saw him until the body was found. It is ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister, who is a good friend of mine, in order to mislead this House that this Report does not implicate the police when I have a section on one Felix Kiptum Kibor who was shot by an Administration Police officer? Unless we want to differentiate between the police and the AP, he should confirm that an AP killed Felix Kiptum Kibor. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of maize, when our farmers take their maize to the NCPB, the NCPB is very particular about the moisture content. I am surprised that that maize was allowed in with that kind of moisture content. I want the Minister to confirm receiving a letter on 10th June, 2009 which indicated that the KEBS had actually ordered the cargo to be re-shipped, returned or destroyed. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the end of the letter, which is addressed to the Minister it indicates: “Please direct the KEBS to immediately permit the discharge of the MV Aguila, containing 19,000 metric tonnes of cargo of USA.” The letter is signed by Michael Ranneberger, Ambassador of the United States. Could the Minister confirm that he was forced to allow this maize in, contrary to the regulations? I table the letter. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to avoid answering the question? I know him as a true farmer who supplies maize to the NCPB. Is he in order to avoid confirming that the NCPB bought maize from farmers at Kshs2,300 while it paid the Americans Kshs3,700 per bag? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologize for coming late. I was stuck in a traffic jam. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, Nandi North District is one of the districts that were created in 2007. It is now three years since it was started. I am aware that there are many other districts that were created recently and already have district headquarters. The district headquarters is situated at Kabiyet which is far from the main road. Heads of departments use rough roads which, at times, are impassable. It is unfortunate that the same officers will arrive there and not find themselves in comfortable offices. The Assistant Minister is aware ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that the cost of the project will be Kshs30 million. I am aware that the district headquarters at Kapsabet, which was our former district headquarters, cost the Government Kshs200 million. I wonder what type of an office Kshs30 million will construct. The Assistant Minister has also indicated that the completion of the construction will depend on the availability of funds. The funds he is talking about is Kshs30 million. If he will only use Kshs30 million, could he give a time-frame when the work will be completed? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have watched and listened to the proceedings this afternoon and I want to say that I really empathize with our colleagues who have been mentioned. I want to thank you for the direction you have given--- view
