5 May 2009 in National Assembly:
My late brother, Mr. Michael Wamalwa Kijana, once said that if there is a killer disease of coalitions - it is a greater killer disease than malaria, cancer or any other - it is lack of consultation. Indeed, he said that this is what affected the last NARC Government

24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we go on recess, we are going home to a country that is hungry and angry. I am asking the Government, since I come from the bread basket of Kenya - Trans Nzoia produces about 10 million bags of maize--- All we are asking the Government is to give farmers the necessary ammunition, so that we can fight hunger. Those are our foot soldiers. They are ready and preparing their farms. All they are waiting for is fertiliser that is affordable.

The Government has already indicated that the fertiliser will be readily available this week at Kshs2,500 per bag. If that fertiliser can be availed--- We are asking the Government to avail that fertiliser to the farmers through the National Cereals and Produce Board and, hopefully, through the collection centres which are empty. Those collection centres have no maize. That way, fertiliser can be stocked close to the farms and farmers.

We are also asking the Government--- It introduced a system of ploughing where tractors, through a partnership with the Government of Italy, can plough at an affordable price of Kshs1,800. We are asking the Government to re-look at that proposal. Since it is a grant, they will not be paying for the tractors. The tractors will be using only about Kshs500 to plough an acre and, probably, offer other services. We are asking the Government to make that ploughing per acre at Kshs1,500 to enable the farmers produce more. If that is done, hunger will be a thing of the ...

We are also going on recess while the budget-making process has started. Last year, this Government did not regard those people who are called the squatters or IDPs. We are asking the Government that, as we go on recess and, as it prepares the Budget, it should make a provision this year for the squatters, landless and IDPs, so that they can be resettled.

We are also asking that, as we go on recess, since we have been telling Kenyans that we will give them a new Constitution, we must reflect and listen to Kenyans and know really what they want so that, as we come back, we should close ranks and take a bipartisan approach, so that we can give Kenyans a new Constitution.

24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
As we speak, we have already started well. But we have gotten off to a false start. We know what happened in this House last week, when we were unable to agree on the members of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission. As we come back, we want to unite as a country so that we can move forward.

We are also confronted by the issue of corruption. I urge Members that, on issue of corruption, there is no PNU and ODM corruption. Corruption is corruption. It is bleeding this country white. We must unite and face corruption squarely without any blinkers, be they tribal, be they partisan, religious or regional. We must face corruption squarely, if we are to save this country. That, we must do.

As we go on recess, let us think, do some soul searching and when we come back, let us not be a divided House. I am urging this Government, since the biggest problem of the Kenyan farmer has
