Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must thank this Ministry for the efficiency they have shown in providing light and energy to this nation. As you know, we have entered into an internet technology. The emphasis must be given to the supply of energy to educational institutions where we are nurturing our young people into modern life. With those few remarks, I support the Motion.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has answered this Question vaguely. The Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) and the Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA) were meant to establish dry-land farming for the purpose of growing fruits through irrigation. The Minister has not even indicated that. This area is conducive for tissue cultured sugar-cane, which can grow and be harvested in less than 18 months. They have such a project from Spain. What is the Minister going to do to utilise this region, rehabilitate it and change people's culture from herding cattle into farming?

9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support the sentiments of the Assistant Minister, because the words "manufactured in Kenya" are very restrictive. As you realise, probably, our farmers in Kenya, who grow tobacco, do not even benefit from this particular trade. A lot of it is imported into the country to be manufactured and then the products are exported. So, I concur with the Assistant Minister.

9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Chairman, Sir, considering the fact that we are dealing with punishment, we have not even dealt with the outcome of tobacco smoking to the people. Supposing a person dies of cancer that has been identified as related to tobacco smoking, what punishment do we mete out to the manufacturers?
