• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question is very explicit! The maize is supported to be imported from, other among other countries, the USA. The USA is currently converting its own corn into bio-diesel. Even if we get three million bags we are to get them two times to three times what used to be in the market price. His Minister said that we have only 110,000 hectares under farming in the country, and that he intends to increase it to one million hectares. There are 900,000 plus hectares to be reclaimed from arid and semi-arid areas. Is he satisfied that Kshs68 ... view
• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious issue! It is about the feeding of Kenyans. Pretty soon, we are going to have riots in the streets of all the major cities and towns in this country, because of food shortages or food that is not affordable to the common Kenyan. Would I be in order to say that this particular Question should be taken to the Prime Minister's Office because it is an office that is cross-cutting?

• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I do not want to contest your ruling, but my assumption is that it is out of order for an Assistant Minister, who is bound by the collective responsibility principle, to give an insufficient answer to a Question and say that the other parts of that Question be dealt with by another Ministries?

Having said that, and while respecting the ruling of the Chair and also being in conformity with its ruling, could he tell us, based on the principle of collective responsibility and the cumulative efforts ... view
• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is time Ministers started taking their business seriously. The Assistant Minister has got an answer which was prepared by his office. Part "b" of the Questions says:- "Is the Minister further aware that, as a result of the big discrepancies in the salaries of teachers vis-a-vis those of mainstream Government employees, many teachers are moving to other sectors of employment and thereby impacting negatively on the teaching profession".

• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very proud moment for hon. Members and the country at large. For the first time we have a system that works, and a Parliament that is essentially supreme in every sense of the word. The beauty of Parliamentary democracy is that the bulk of its work is done in Committees. We have Committees that are relevant to this issue. We have the authority and the power to summon everybody, including, in my opinion, the Prime Minister and the Vice-President. Let this Committee, first of all, as a Parliamentary Committee, with the authority of Parliament ... view
• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: I have in mind the Director of the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), the Governor of the Central Bank (CBK), the development partners who have come here and who have not done any other crime other than seeking investment opportunities in this country, and as a way of giving us an easier access to development in this country, because they have a lot of capital. That is also going to free us from the shackles of such other development partners like the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the rest of them who have colonised the Third World ... view
