• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to oppose the further amendment because, in my opinion, it is subject to abuse. I want to give an example of Nairobi. We have Nairobi National Park in one part of the county. We have hippos in Dandora and birds in Karura Forest. Technically, it means that all Members of the National Assembly from Nairobi constituencies will be members of that committee. There is no county with no wildlife. If we accept that amendment, we will be technically saying that every Member of the National Assembly or the Senate should be members of ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Mine will be brief. I would just say that this is one of my happiest days as a Member of Parliament.

• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: turning moment for the conservation sector having worked there for many years with some people in the House and some people that I can see in the galleries. I think we are all happy. I would like to recognise a few things which I note in the Bill as a member of that Committee. This Bill has institutionalised the sector like never before. It has set up a programme for capacity building in the training institute. The compensation sector was also very good. I also want to say that one of the biggest problems with wildlife management and conservation is ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion as amended. I want to state from the outset that I am a Member of the PIC and I am part of the team that came up with this report. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to say that as Parliamentarians we have a duty and responsibility to fight impunity, corruption and tribalism. I want to say that this is the first report that the PIC has tabled for discussion in this House. I can see that there is spirited effort against this report. I want to join my fellow hon. Ng’eno in saying that this report should be supported. It should not be allowed to die because doing so would be an assault on the Committee and, by extension, on Parliament itself. As Kenyans, we are aware that impunity has been in ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: recommend stern action against them. For a bank to issue a conditional bid bond, which is not effective in law, it is a crime in itself. This kind of collaboration between suppliers and banks is unacceptable. Hon. Speaker, a report that was presented by the Auditor-General to a Committee of this House recently shows that over 30 per cent of Government expenditure in the last financial years is unaccounted for. In order for us to stop this from happening and ensure that this achieves Vision 2030 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), we should be able to ensure that such ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by hon. Bett; to me, it is very timely. I would like to say that this Motion is very important. It applies to many other products in the agricultural sector like French beans, bananas and potatoes. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to say that these farm products have been used by middlemen for many years to benefit themselves at the detriment of farmers. It is quite unfortunate that the Kshs27 paid per litre of milk as the farm price is most cases not able to meet the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: production cost. This in essence has discouraged farmers from venturing into dairy farming. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In Gichugu Constituency which I represent in Kirinyaga County, we have many dairy farmers but they are reducing by the day. This is because dairy farming is not benefiting them. Many areas of Kenya have been supported in terms of their local economies by coffee and tea farming. As of now, the family farm size is reducing from an average of ten acres per family to two acres, and in some cases one acre per family. With one acre per family, it is not possible for somebody to plant coffee or tea because it cannot be cost effective. So, it ... view
