• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to speak and support this Motion. I come from Trans Nzoia County; I have just come from there this morning. I want to draw the attention of this House to the fact that the ordinary farmer in Trans Nzoia is a poor suffering person because fertilizers have been imported at the wrong time. As the Mover of this Motion mentioned, you cannot imagine at this time of the year that farmers in Trans Nzoia have not received CAN fertilizer, which is actually used for top dressing. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I have gone to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and have been told that the NCPB is not an importer. Let me make that correction. It is the Ministry of Agriculture that is involved and they only use the NCPB because it has the countrywide network for distribution; that is why the Mover of this Motion has made it very clear that the best thing we can do for this country, because of what we have gone through in the past, is to have an authority for importing fertiliser for this country for us, ... view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was contributing to the Motion by hon. Ng’ongo on fish and fish farming. I was suggesting that if this Motion is passed - and I hope hon. Members will have it passed, it will improve the livelihoods of our people, particularly those who depend on agriculture and fishing. As you know, this sector has been neglected or it is looked at as if it is for the poor. I am supporting the Motion because it will lead to expansion of farm produce and farm use, because most farmers along the rivers engage in vegetable, maize and ... view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, if you check with the HANSARD, I support the amendment by hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona, and I am saying that if the Motion is passed, I mentioned some of its benefits. I think the original Motion was that we will go on--- For me the amendment means we will go for grants; it means we replace loans with grants and I support it. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker, Sir; I do. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am speaking to the amendment; with it then you will find that most farmers, youth and women will have fish ponds. It will be easier for them to be given money to do farming. I support the amendment and the Motion. Can I continue? view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity; I have worked in this industry and I just want to share my experience with my colleagues, Members of Parliament, here. This is a sector that, with this amendment, will enable our youth to one, get employment. Two, we will be able to have our youth engaged in meaningful activities. Most of our youth are out there idle, and you find that there is insecurity in the countryside because they are not fully occupied. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also want to tell those who maybe in cold areas that there is a scientific way of actually handling this particular sector. You can put up the green house where, due to the warmth it generates, the production of fish will increase. That again will lead to higher income. It also encourages innovation, because you will also find that most farmers will have the fish ponds plus goats or sheep grazing around the fish ponds. You will have chicken, for example. Chicken drops are food for the fish. So, you will find that most of the ... view
