• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also want to support this. But overall, I think this particular sector of fisheries and aquaculture is underfunded. We will be coming up with a supplementary request to be able to see whether we can raise this because this sector largely provides employment, mainly to the youth. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As mentioned by a Member, we do not have to import fish from China; we can still have our own fish here. Therefore, in the next financial year we will be coming to this House to request for additional funding, both for the fisheries department and crop development. I support though. Thank you. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you have seen my request after complaining. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to support this Vote. First and foremost, as somebody mentioned, the State Department for Cooperatives needs to be enhanced. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Two, at one time, we had a full Ministry which used to look after the co-operatives. That is when we had co-operatives in this country. This House should also look at the possibility of having a separate Ministry to look after the co-operative movement in this country. That is because it is very important in the rural areas. We are now looking at distribution and buying centres for cereals. We are reorganising ourselves, particularly in my constituency. I am reorganising, so that we can have the co-operative movement in every location and sub-location to channel maize, other cereals and also ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The major problem and challenge in co-operatives today is mismanagement. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that we should fast-track the money that we have given to the Ministry and the sector to see whether there is any change or not. At the same time, we want that money to be used for training the people who manage this sector. There are cases where a chairman or treasurer is not even learned and he uses his thumb to withdraw some money. So, we want this money to be used for training of the youths and management of ... view

• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very short and precise. First and foremost, the observations and recommendation proposed by the Committee are welcome. On agriculture as per the BPS, its allocation has stagnated at 2 per cent of the Budget. According to the Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security, all African countries should spend at least 10 per cent of their budget on agriculture. Therefore, I request us to review the budget allocation to pass the ceiling of 5 or 6 per cent as expected. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, the spread of the army worms particularly in maize growing areas in the South and North Rift such as Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu regions has affected maize production. However, I did not see any specific allocation towards this. For example, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries asked for Kshs.826 million which was not given. Therefore, we should expect reduced food production in this country. The Government did not move because priorities are upside down. The fertiliser issue comes year in, year out. There is acute shortage of fertiliser and inefficient distribution of this very important commodity. I ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee has said they visited various counties. I am surprised just like my colleague Hon. Wamalwa because they did not visit Trans Nzoia and we are demanding them to visit next time. We are complaining because we have been excluded for four years now.
