• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you for protecting me. I was saying that there is the National Drought Management Authority that deals with drought in this country. As the Chair is aware, every year we have had problems of either flooding or drought. Those flood prone areas, particularly in Trans-Nzoia; the Government needs to do something about it. The Government should assist because those areas that flood have become very destructive at the end of it all. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, floods destroy property. If we had dams built along rivers, flooding would not happen. We have a river called Sabwani that drains into ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, we have the Ministry of Agriculture which is saying that it wants to do fish farming. Those dams would provide water for fish ponds. In my case in Trans Nzoia, I have gone out deliberately to teach the youth and the women, so that they can benefit from this idea that the Ministry of Agriculture is coming with by promoting fish farming. So, by building these dams, we will have the direct benefits for the people. First, it will check the destruction of the river during flooding, two, there will be irrigation and three, we will have fish farming ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The other thing is the multi-dams as we know and then we have the mini-hydro plants which will generate electricity.

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: from Kakamega has said, there is a lot of rain in western Kenya. The problem is that we do not use that water. We do not harvest it. By supporting this Motion, I would also be asking the Government to start harvesting water, so that during the drought period, that water can be used for irrigation and for domestic use. The other thing that I want to mention about the dams is that apart from fish farming, during the dry period, it is normally very warm and people can do a lot of horticultural production. Therefore, I support this Motion ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think I want a further clarification. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It is just a further clarification, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Following what my neighbour here has just asked, normally I know that when the Government goes out there, it goes to negotiate for what they already have. Now, from what the Leader of Majority Party has told us, the President and the delegation to China got money and came to Kenya to do consultations for projects that do not even exist. That is my understanding; when you go out there, you look for money for projects that you already have in mind. You go to a shop to buy something that you need. You do not go to a shop ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It looks like the leadership of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives is out because they are preparing to go to Mombasa. I undertake to pass the information. If you give us two weeks, we will get back to the Member. view
