asked the Minister for Co-operative Development & Marketing:- (a) whether he is aware that since July 2010 coffee farmer SACCOs have experienced difficulties when dealing with loan defaulters; (b) when he will implement the Presidential directive to waive the arrears owed by the farmers; and, (c) what incentive the Government will offer to farmers who have painfully and with a lot of sacrifice continued to pay their loans without falling into arrears.

14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we dealt with this matter and agreed that it would be in the Order Paper tomorrow afternoon. I hope that this time round, there will be no games because farmers are really anxious and waiting for an answer.

9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is very strange to expect that we can contribute to this important Motion when those who are expected to respond are nowhere here. Yes, we may raise very pertinent issues. Who will be taking notes? How would they respond on matters that they did not listen to and prepare answers? When we look at what is befalling the directors and shareholder of Charterhouse Bank, you will see that some of the damages are irreparable. How do we expect this to continue? I would like to request that if we ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had also requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government two weeks ago. It was supposed to be delivered last week, but due to time factor, it was deferred to this week. I wonder whether it is ready today, so that I can hear it.

11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the Statement given by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government. I would like to make some clarification. He has said that Her Worship the Mayor is the one who ordered the demolition yet there is the clerk who is supposed to be the official administrator and who can give instructions to the council workers, why would it even require any further investigations? Why would the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) investigate an issue which is already very clear that the Mayor took the law into her hands? What will be the fate ...

4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support this Motion. Today, when you were contributing in the course of the afternoon, you also made a comment that: âAs per the old Constitution...â I do not know whether the new one --- I stand to be corrected because I am quoting you verbatim. This is a clear indication that we have not mastered the new Constitution well. I rate you very highly but that being the case, I think it is very important for us to accept that there is a lot that we should learn and understand. It ...

28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government in respect of a plot next to scouts office, Embu Town. This plot was allocated to the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs, Embu Prisons which constructed a house on the plot. The Municipal Council of Embu without any council resolution demolished the house a few weeks ago and efforts to get a clarification from the municipality were not successful. The demolished building was a Government property? Is this not malicious damage? If so, has ...

13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Prime Minister to clarify two issues. There was the issue of instant fines which would have gone a long way in reducing the number of court cases. That is because one of the reasons why the public service vehicles--- This time it is not the matatu drivers. I would like to state clearly that it is not only the matatu drivers who are careless on our roads. All commercial vehicles are competing with time! One of the reasons why they always get away with it is because the process is too involving ...

12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of road accidents has been a thorn in the flesh in this country. Whereas the Ministry wants to blame the enforcer, I think we heard them talking in public and stating those challenges so that we can know who to blame. Could the Assistant Minister come out clearly and tell us when we will start hearing the Ministry confirming who to blame? Previously, the Minister for Transport was enforcing the laws, why can the Ministry now not do the same?
