• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this time to support the Motion of Adjournment. It has been a great time because we were recalled to deal with various businesses. This Parliament has proved that it has the capacity and capability to perform. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you, like all my other colleagues, for the way you have navigated this Parliament by introducing live coverage and, at the same time, introducing very many changes in Parliament to make our lives easier. This Parliament has become a new Parliament. We are just about to reach there. I want to congratulate you very much for those far reaching reforms. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am requesting you that in future, this Chamber should be re-done so that those people who would like to take their notes on their computers can have a place to place them. That is because right now, we have only a bar where we can place our feet. But we need places where we can place our laptops in Parliament and deal with the matters of the world. I am requesting that, as you continue with your very resourceful and indigenous ideas of revitalising this Parliament, that the Chamber should be done in such a way ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to say that it is an opportune time for us to follow up on some of the projects that we have given money, through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We need to find out how far those projects have reached. We have had a very busy schedule and we have not had time to go and assess how the projects are being implemented. So, we would like to take the opportunity to go and issue more cheques to constituencies and, at the same time, see what is happening with the projects ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also have funds through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). It is high time regulations were also relaxed, so that where there is so much hunger, we can use a bit of CDF money to buy food, so that people do not die when we have money. It is very important that our Members of Parliament look at those people who have no food to eat, yet we have money that we can allocate in order to buy that food. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With regard to agriculture, instead of importing so much food and transferring the labour force from our country to other countries, we should find out how best we can deal with our farmers here. We should have farm-contracting so that by the time the farmers harvest their crops, they know in advance how much money they are going to earn from a 90-kilogramme bag. That is done in the Western world. Those people who produce maize, particularly in Western Kenya, should not be compared with others and pay so much money when their maize is languishing in the granaries. They ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has talked about the road from Nyahururu to Nyeri. The road from Gilgil to Nyahururu is worse than the one from Nyahururu to Nyeri. This is the circuit that connects Gilgil to Nyeri and Meru. Could he tell us what he intends to do to the road from Gilgil to Nyahururu to avert the many accidents that are happening along that road because of potholes? view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could the Mover explain to us why he has found it necessary to bring that amendment? view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am specifically referring to part "a" of the proposed amendment, where we have the words "Manning, Qualification and Training" and "Training, Certification and Safe Manning". view
