• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: . In English it says: Unity is strength. I do not know when the rains started beating us. In my case, I had to set up a few milk coolers in my area. I wanted to know how many farmers have dairy cattle and it has taken me four months. I spent so much time trying to find out through the chiefs and assistant chiefs. It has been very difficult to know how many farmers have dairy cows and the production levels so as to move forward. This is a very important Motion. I ask Hon. Mutunga to turn this ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I want to ask Hon. Mutunga to move very fast next week and God willing, we will turn this Motion into a Bill, so that it can have force and persuade our farmers that unity is strength so that they can move from unknown to known. That way, we will move as a country and know how many farmers are there and how much we can plan. This country is doing very badly. Sometimes back, the major products like tea, coffee, pyrethrum and sugar were organised into sectoral societies. We had Kenya Farmers Association (KFA). I also want to take ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We have a problem. I do not know when the rain started beating us in this country because the system has gone haywire. We do not know what is happening. As a House, we should move forward. For example, we were told in 2003 that this country should allocate 10 per The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: cent of the Budget to agriculture. Ask any Member here. We are very concerned. How much was allocated this year? It is hardly more than 3 per cent of the Budget. So, we are not serious about agriculture. This Motion will make the Government to be serious about putting enough budgetary allocation and resources through agriculture because that is an area where the youths are supposed to be attracted to move to. Today, and it is not something that you do not know, over 16.7 million Kenyans who have certificates, diplomas, university degrees and Masters degrees are looking for jobs. ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Lastly but not the least, we should be a bit serious, particularly in the sectors that we are talking about like the tea sector, coffee sector, sugar sector and maize sector. Let us have knowledgeable people heading those sectors because we just pick somebody because of political expediency. You get somebody leading a very important sector just because of the political expediency. He is put there as the head of the department or that particular sector. That is why people are not very serious about what they are doing. We should move fast. The Members of the Departmental Committee on ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Every sector is dying. We have to save those sectors. We cannot allow this country to be thrown to the dogs just because we are in a comfort zone. I will be the last person to say that this country is now going to the dogs. I am sorry about it but it is the truth. I am asking myself a question and I cannot get the answer. When did the rain start beating us in the agriculture sector, which is supposed to be earning 44 per cent of foreign exchange? We have that problem. view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks and with a heavy heart, I want to ask my friend, Hon. Mutunga, to move fast. Next week or a week after, we should come up with a Bill in this House. I will be the first one to support you. Thank you very much. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill, as the Seconder has mentioned, is overdue. We have had many problems in this country. One of them is access to information through illegal means. Why I have sat here all through is because I have been a victim of this matter. I do not know what happened, but somebody accessed my phone and called out: “Are you Mr. Ferdinand Kevin Wanyonyi? I replied, “Yes, I am.” He told me he has been looking for me and he was holding some information. He went on and on, I do not want to ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: in terms of information. They know more than you know because they are prepared to do what they did. So, we have had cases of land issues. We are all from the Third World and struggling to survive. We had cases where somebody knows all about you and your grandfather and he even knows your clan and where your mother came from. This is something that, as the National Assembly, we should legalise. Hon. Speaker, you and I, as Members of Parliament, have been giving out money to the elderly. Last weekend, about four old men came to my house ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity. I have been sitting here because as Hon. Millie has mentioned, this is a very emotive area. I have four cases in my locality where people were taken to the Middle East, I do not know how, and three of them were brought back dead. This is something that we cannot just wish away. I want to thank the Committee for going to Saudi Arabia and coming up with these findings. One of the most important things that the Committee should do is to vet the so-called agents. There ... view
