• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Labour in respect of the ongoing strike by members of Kenya Tea Growers Association (KTGA) in protest against the introduction of tea picking machines in Sotik, Kericho and other tea growing areas. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister, in his Statement, to clarify the following:- (i) whether he is aware that after the promulgation of the new Constitution, every worker has a right under Article 41(2) to go on strike and participate in activities of a trade union. Pursuant to the said provision and that of Section 76 of the Labour Relations Act, a strike was declared after a seven days’ notice was issued on 11th October, 2010 by the Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union; and, (ii) whether he is aware that in total violation of the said workers’ ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand to support this Motion on the adoption of this Report. I want to start by congratulating the Committee for burning the midnight oil to ensure that we meet the deadlines set by the Constitution. There are many other Bills that are coming that we need to, no doubt, fast track to beat the deadlines we need to beat and ensure the implementation of the new Constitution. Last Tuesday, we passed a Bill in this House for the Implementation Commission, and there was a very interesting debate about how many years ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate other young Kenyans, who have come up and distinguished themselves within a very short period. I have in mind, apart from my learned friend, Justice Isaac Lenaola, my learned friends, hon. Abdikadir, Ababu Namwamba, Millie Odhiambo-Mabona and Isaac Hassan of IIEC. These are young people who have served this country in a very short time, but in a very distinguished manner. We believe that with the vetting of Isaac Lenaola and Emily Ominde, we have added their names to this list of a new Kenya of clean leadership and integrity. I beg to ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the Assistant Minister agrees with most of us that there was no basis or any ground for the sacking of Prof. Kubasu. Part of the clarification is to request for the Assistant Minister’s intervention to ensure that Prof. Kubasu’s constitutional rights under the new Constitution are not violated. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think the schedule is just a guideline and it is provisional but we are, however, expecting there should be a vetting Bill coming to the House as soon as possible to provide for everything. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I raised the same Question last year because we had floods around this area. We had suggested then that the best solution was to relocate those people to alternative sites. The Assistant Minister has said that the Government is considering that. When will the Ministry find alternative land to settle these people? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, only last week, the Prime Minister indicated that because of the La Nina that is approaching, they were looking at ways of protecting the farmers and encouraging them to bring in their crop. Part of the incentive would be to give the farmers a good price. Last year, they gave the farmers Kshs2,300 per bag. Another incentive is to offer drying of the maize through the mobile driers that the Ministry was supposed to buy. That would encourage farmers to take their maize to the NCPB. Is the Assistant Minister telling this House that the consultations ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to continue misleading the House that farmers can actually be allowed to sell their produce anywhere, yet the ban is still there and Ugandan farmers are allowed to bring in their maize through Suam border? The maize is flooding our market and our farmers do not have good prices. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that the Assistant Minister has asked for two weeks, may we ask that this Question be deferred to allow him to do the necessary and also allow for consultations, as the Prime Minister said last week, between the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of State for Special Programmes and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance? view
