• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we needed the circular because of the clarification; whether it was a directive or a request. The Minister has cleared the air that it was a directive. The issue then is, if there is a directive, was there compliance? If there was no compliance, then there is defiance. Could we get an explanation from the Minister? view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm to the House that the price of fertilizer has gone up as the price of maize has come down? What is the current price of a 50-kilogramme bag of DAP fertilizer? view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. During the Prime Minister’s Question Time yesterday, I raised the issue of maize prices and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government was very clear that they were consulting and that they will announce a new price for maize. Is the Assistant Minister contradicting the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government? view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had raised the issue of withholding of school certificates by principals and there was direction that the Minister gives the Ministerial Statement today, in view of the urgency of the matter. view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion for the adoption of this Report. May I start by thanking you for allowing this delegation to travel all the way to Moscow to represent us and to be part of 39 African Parliaments that were part of this Russia/Africa Conference held in Moscow. Personally, I have never been to Russia or Moscow. I have the history of Russia given through history books and news. I believe that there are many Members in this House and Kenyans who have also not been to Russia. Given the history of this country, we ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the balance of trade between our two countries, you will find that it is heavily tilted in favour of Russia. Russia talks about US$166 million in terms of imports to this country whereas our exports to Russia is about US$49 million. If you look at that, you will realise that we have a lot to do. There is a great and vast market out there. Kenyan tea is one of the finest tea in the world and it is sought after. This is not just in Russia but in the entire of Europe. ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do believe that apart from traditional diplomacy, which has been purely political; it has been military in terms of security, we are also widening horizons of diplomacy. In the 21st Century, the emphasis is more towards economic diplomacy, parliamentary diplomacy and environmental diplomacy. Our delegation being in Moscow is a step forward in advancing parliamentary diplomacy through such delegations and conferences. I believe that it is not only hon. Members of this delegation that learnt a lot about Russia, but I believe that many other people who were there – Russians and other countries who participated ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have noted that the Assistant Minister has given different prices of fertilizer for different factories. Could he explain the basis for this, if it is the same 50 kilogramme bag of, say, DAP or CAN. Why would it be different from one factory to another? This also applies to sugar factories. You will find that some factories charge much higher for a bag of DAP than other factories. Why has the Government allowed this? view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are expecting a bumper harvest in the north Rift which is the grain basket of Kenya. During this year’s Budget, there was an indication that funds had been set aside for purchase of mobile driers that will be used in the event of bumper harvest in certain areas, to help farmers dry their grain in good time. Could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government give a confirmation to the House that with the expected bumper harvest, particularly in the grain basket of Kenya, these mobile driers will be used to help farmers dry ... view
