• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I am over 50 years old. When I was young I used to see some natural plants in my community. Some of them were very old indeed. Today, when I go to the same site, I do not see them. They have been removed. My children do not even understand when I say that place used The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: to have those kinds of trees. This Bill has come at the right time. I want to take this opportunity to thank those who came up with the idea of this Bill so that we can have the Plant Genetic Resources Research Centre. My children and grandchildren will not know what happened 80 or 90 years ago. The trees that I saw those days were able to form a forest cover. In fact, we had a large forest cover and every rainy season we had enough rains. Today, we do not even know when it is going to rain because ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: look like adults. They are very bulky due to what they eat. I never saw that kind of fatness despite the fact that I have declared my age as more than 50 years. I support the Bill. I want us to pass it so that we have a director of that institution. That way, anybody getting any plant or seed from an area will pay. That is so, so that our country can get money from whatever we export. As Mheshimiwa Ottichilo has said, this centre will also provide research facilities and opportunities for our youth so that they compete ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I made notes, but I left them at home. So, I will just try to recall what I wanted to say in this House. I support the Supplementary Estimates, but with a heavy heart. In the last three financial years, we have had a lot of requests for Supplementary Budgets towards the tail-end of the financial year. I do not know whether the problem is with the National Treasury or whether the officers concerned are not using past experiences to come up with the right figures. I am lost because in ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The KMC needs much more money to do their work. Modernisation of their equipment needs much more than Kshs200 million. They needed at least Kshs600 million to modernize their equipment. When they made a presentation to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Cooperatives, we realised that they are going to use some of this money to buy stock and modernise machines. Their slaughter houses are very old. They were asking for Kshs600 million. If they had been given half of that amount, they would do a good job. Part of the marketing programme, which we have insisted they should ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I am so passionate about eradication of tsetse flies because Galana-Kulalu Irrigation Project is very successful. I have gone there and the biggest shortcoming is the inadequate money that is set aside for the eradication of tsetse flies which have infested the area. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: From the proposed reductions, I would suggest that we allocate more money to the NIB since we are still doing reallocation of funds. I am told that there is a problem with the management. I hope the Ministry and the Cabinet Secretary of Water and Irrigation will solve that problem as soon as possible. That programme is important and has to continue. It is a major flagship project of our good brothers in the Jubilee Government.

• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: We need money for irrigation projects not only at the Coast, but for irrigation projects across the country. We need to add money to agriculture if we are serious about agriculture and food production in this country. Lastly, I will echo what the previous speaker has talked about. I do not see any money going to the IEBC despite the fact that they need money to conduct credible elections next year. That is not mentioned anywhere and I wonder why. With those remarks, I support. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank and acknowledge the effort Hon. Wilber Ottichilo has put into this Bill. He has brought many Motions that have to do with the environment. I take this opportunity to thank him and ask him to continue doing research. To come up with such Motions, he needs a lot of time and dedication. Hon. Ottichilo has done so much. I thank him. The Mediation Committee did a good job. All I want to ask is that we should take time to fast-track the implementation of this Bill so that we save ... view
