• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as far as I am concerned, the fact is that the water that is released from Masinga Dam--- I was trying to give information free of charge. I am saying that these are the facts and if the hon. Member is not satisfied with those facts, it is fine. My contribution is that the hon. Member who moved the Motion, I was going to advise him that this is to urge the Government to build a great dam that can capture the flow of three other rivers because that is where the problem starts; it is ... view

• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just wanted to say that, that is the knowledge. Those are the facts. If the hon. Member comes with amendments then I will be the first one to support him, that is, if he is going to help our brothers and sisters who live downstream. The solution may come through the amendment. I will wait for the amendment. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I come from Trans-Nzoia, where we plant maize. Having listened to my friend Linturi from Meru, I am inclined to support the Motion because now I understand. Miraa is the mainstay for the Meru region as maize is to me in Kitale because we plant maize. Secondly, when I was watching television recently, I saw members of a certain church presenting miraa as offertory instead of money. This meant to me that m iraa is a well accepted product in that particular area. I also find that this Select Committee that is quite representative, will give us ... view

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: to be exported to Europe. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other thing that has made me accept and actually support this Motion is the fact that, I see young men driving very fast from Meru, all the way to Wilson Airport. I see quite a good number of them. I am told that thousands of them gain meaningful employment out of this business of miraa . Hon. Deputy Speaker, this House should support this Motion as amended, in order to be able to give our brothers in Meru the opportunity to use this product as an economic empowerment of that region. ... view

• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this Motion. I do not have the details of the issues that were raised by the East African countries, but I talk as a Kenyan. First of all, the EU, for example, is panicking because of the current situation in the sub- saharan region of Africa, which is attracting a lot of investments from the East. The Europeans are punishing us. When Obama came to Africa, I was following his speech in South Africa. It is like he is trying to make up for the time he lost. I see a problem in Europe and I ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I stand up with a very heavy heart. I came from the weekend and the situation in Trans Nzoia is getting out of hand as I speak. This is because even one hon. Member of Parliament from Trans Nzoia had to be whisked out of her house in the middle of the night and she is here. She can testify to view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I just want him to clarify one issue before I sit. There are people who are in hospital today. There are burial expenses today.
