• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Competition (Amendment) Bill. This Bill attempts to cure the abuse of buyer power which falls within the mandate of CAK. Indeed, it is standard practice around the world and not just in Kenya that competition authorities are equipped with investigative powers. Of course, there are concerns in a country like ours that CAK might go to bed with the one who is abusing the buyer power. It is for this reason we would like to see sounder amendments to this Bill. Also, they should come out extremely clear. If ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We should not have the word “may’ because I think this should be mandatory. It is extremely important when they use words like “imposing, reporting and credential requirements” in their regulations. The amendments to the parent Act and various sections should state as much and it will be mandatory and not to use words like “may”. I must reiterate the fact that this is an international best practice and I support those amendments because those laws ultimately are meant for when buyer power is abused. They fall within the mandate of CAK and not within the mandate of contracts. Ultimately, ... view

• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You have eaten much of my time. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it was a mistake. Despite your appetite, I am quite sure you cannot eat time. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: It is only in this country called Kenya where when we give a cow water and it adds value to it through the digestive system and other internal machineries, when it produces milk, it is cheaper than ordinary water. A litre of milk in this country costs between Kshs17 and Kshs22, but a litre of water ranges from Kshs100 to Kshs200, which is pathetic. That is why we are talking about cooperative societies which are supposed to be like the civil societies to fight for the rights of farmers and advocate for proper market for our produce. The backbone of ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We overtax farm inputs which makes agricultural production and farm produce very expensive that we cannot sell within our country, let alone outside our country. All these can be advocated by cooperative societies. That is why I support the Motion. We can revamp The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: cooperative societies which will be the eye of the poor farmer. These are farmers who come together and join hands. They know their weaknesses and strengths. They will advocate for the farm produce as well as look for markets outside the country. When we went to Qatar recently, we found a chamber of commerce which has a department that deals with agricultural produce, yet it is in a desert. Because they recently imported cows and they are producing some milk, they have already anticipated the possibility of exporting farm produce. They have not satisfied their market. It is pathetic that ... view
