• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, some of my colleagues have talked about the Government's subsidies in the tea sector. I want to support this because the farm inputs such as fertilizers and the fuel required in the production of tea is far too high. When these inputs are added together, they only reduce the earnings for the farmer. The farmer will only increase his earnings if there is support for him in terms of subsidies on inputs. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: I want to support my colleagues who said that the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) needs restructuring. Yes, the KTDA has served farmers well. That is one of the things we must accept. Among the Government Parastatals, KTDA is among those which have played their part. What needs to be done is to look at other ways in which they can be supported or restructured, so that whatever they do, the farmer benefits much more than at present. The KTDA is owned by farmers. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: I want to support the Motion. However, when we are making the changes, let us do so very carefully without messing up what is already good in the sector. view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: 4314 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES January 21, 2009 view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the response he has given. However, I would like him to reconsider, especially the last line of his answer of part "b" that some sub-district hospitals will be upgraded, subject to availability of funds. Already, from his earlier part of the answer, there is need for the two health centres to be upgraded because they are doing much more than they were meant to do. These two institutions are really overstretched. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the Assistant Minister to confirm to this House that he will do everything within his power to ensure that they are upgraded. Before upgrading them, could the Ministry provide them with ambulances? view
