• 14 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 14 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when I look at the list, I do not see names of chairpersons of any committee. When Hon. Janet, or is it Junet? view
• 14 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Forgive me for that; the two names sound the same. The Member has come up with rumours by telling the House that we already have chairpersons of committees. We do not see names of chairpersons here on the list. Those are just rumours! He is out of order to give us hearsay about State House or wherever. This is a House of rules and orders. He should give us facts not hearsay. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. It has been overdue. If you walk around our urban centres, you will be shocked to realise that our road reserves and riparian areas have disappeared because of shoddy work by physical planners, whom we need to control. Despite the fact that this Bill may have some areas that need to be amended, it expressly states the penalties for physical planners and the channel they should adhere to in advising the Government and the Cabinet Secretary responsible for land. With time, with our population ever increasing and land ever shrinking, ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I wanted to raise a point of order because the hon.

Member was out of order to insinuate that the Jubilee Government only campaigns with sugarcane farmers. The electronic version of the ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: For sure, all farmers in this country are suffering from cartels which have monopolised certain sectors of agriculture, especially the sugarcane sector. We will support any Motion that will come to the Floor of the House to improve the sugar industry and the lives of sugarcane farmers. As earlier said, much as we would pump taxpayers’ money into sugarcane factories, we the directors and CEOs of those factories need to account for the money they receive. I understand that there are sugarcane factories that are privately owned, which rarely pay farmers. As much as we debate the issue of sugarcane ... view

• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to totally oppose the amendment. If we introduce the element of funding, as Hon. Kimunya has just said, we will restrict ourselves to planting trees only in schools, because the Government cannot fund homes and private institutions and companies that get their raw materials from forests. We were targeting such institutions. When we say that at least 10 per cent of school compounds should be covered by trees, we know what we mean. We already have a forestry department that is in charge of seedlings. What we need from schools ... view
