• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Or whether they were injured. Why did they want to come back? view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to second this very important Motion by Mr. Kaino. Indeed, Kenya has been a blessed country. It has been blessed with very fertile land and rainfall. It is a country that has the capacity to feed all its citizens as well as export food to other countries. However, it is a matter of great irony that Kenya remains on the list of countries which are food insecure. Indeed, you will find that with the problems that we have been having, we have been forced to import food. We have countries like Malawi ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: when we have so much food - a bumper harvest - and we do not know what to do with it. Today as we speak, we have heard sad tales from the people in Ukambani who have had more food than they could store. The Government did nothing to step in and help those farmers to take their crop at the right time, help them dry their maize and pay them for their labour. Indeed, farmers are trying to squeeze their bumper harvest into small stores. As a result of the moisture and poor storage facilities, aflatoxins have set in. ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: secure. Very soon Kenya would start exporting maize instead of importing. Even as we are refusing to pay farmers Kshs2,300 that we had promised--- I came from Kitale. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy that the Minister is here. In Kitale, we have farmers who still have maize and they have not been paid for their deliveries of last season. They were last paid in February or March. From March, they have not been paid. They are owed over Kshs1 billion by the Government. We are demoralizing our farmers. We must do everything to pay our farmers for what ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: With these few remarks, I beg to second this Motion and urge that the House supports and passes this Motion, so that we can encourage irrigation instead of relying on rain-fed agriculture. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second this Bill and congratulate my learned senior, hon. Olago, for bringing this proposed amendment to the Commissions of Inquiry Act, Cap.102. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, the Commissions of Inquiry in this country have a history that it is time that, as a House, we need to now inquire into the inquiries held by these Commissions, and really assess whether public funds that have been applied in paying many people in many commissions to carry out what has, in certain cases, not been known by the public in terms of output and effectiveness in addressing the cause of why we had these commissions appointed in the first place. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, our country has been like a pressure cooker where when the pressure builds up and the Government of the day wishes to release this pressure, the release valve for this pressure has always been commissions of inquiry. I do remember when the body of the late Dr. Ouko was found at Got Alila after he disappeared from his Koru home, the temperatures in this country went very high. What did we do? We formed the Ouko Commission of Inquiry in 1991. This Commission carried out its work but was disbanded under mysterious circumstances. The public ... view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, also, when we had one of the biggest rip-offs in the history of our country; during the Goldenberg affair, what did we do as a country when Kenyans demanded to know who were the fraudsters behind the Goldenberg Scandal? We did again form the Commision of Inquiry into the Goldenberg Affair. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we had problems again in 1991 and 1992, during the tribal clashes and Kenyans killed each other, we, again, formed a Commission of Inquiry known as the Akiwumi Commission of Inquiry into the Ethnic Violence. Recently, after the last general ... view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm that there are many cases where the KPRs have used these weapons to actually engage in crime. Many of them are not paid and so they cannot make ends meet. As a result, they have engaged in crime. What has the Assistant Minister done as part of the police reforms to ensure that we curb these crimes committed by the KPRs who are armed and are not paid? view
