• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Secondly, the marketing board has been given about 26 functions. I do not need to emphasise what my colleagues have mentioned. Since that sector is important and earns this country, particularly livestock farmers a lot of money, we ask you to pass this Bill so that we can have a board that will do things efficiently as opposed to what is happening now. Secondly, we will develop disease-free holding grounds where animals can be kept. We will have holding grounds in the Coast region. With that kind of facility, we believe we will develop our livestock. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thirdly, the training should meet certain international standards. That sector will train people who are working so that they can meet international standards.

• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: have all heard from various Members, Botswana, which learned so much from us, is better off because they have gone further and trained some of the personnel in their area. They are doing far better than we are doing. We feel that if we establish the board, it will improve training, supervision and even regulation so that it can supervise the sector. The other thing is that we need value addition. Apart from just exporting meat, we also need to have other products and by-products from livestock that can be exported. We are talking about hooves, hides and skins and ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. From the outset, I think the Bill is right. I have experienced cases where I have seen people who have been forced to give false evidence. Torture has always been there and as my friend, Hon. Moroto, has said, we are almost going back to where we were, when one was forced to give false information to get back one’s freedom. I am old enough and I saw what happened. I witnessed the so-called Nyayo House chamber where people were forced to give testimony. If you sit and listen to what ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your wisdom and kindness. All I am saying is that any form of torture is not permitted. As somebody said, you better even face the firing squad rather than go through the torture that had been witnessed in the past. We are faced with the problem of terrorists in this country. I do not know how we will get information from them but it is better for our State agents to be trained to get information through a thorough investigation rather than torturing the victim to the extent that when they The electronic version of ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: come out of whatever place they were in--- I have heard of cases where some of them were paralysed and some were made impotent. We should pass this Bill so as not to experience this kind of torture that the victims have gone through. The other thing is that once it is proved that a victim has been tortured, we should have mechanisms for compensation and I think it is suggested in this Bill. In cases where somebody loses almost all his property and time because of detention, that person should be compensated once it is proved that he has ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to add my voice to the Petition raised by my neighbour, Hon. Chris Wamalwa, on the unfortunate case that happened to a very innocent young man who was looking after cattle. As I talk, police reservists in Trans Nzoia are taking the law in their hands. As my colleague has just mentioned, they are going beyond their mandate. As we now look for a way of compensating this particular victim’s family, I strongly believe something should be done on the vetting of police reservists in Trans Nzoia. Apart from this incident which is ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity. From the outset, I want to thank Hon. Njomo for coming up with this Motion although it is a bit late as most speakers have said. Voter apathy and indifferences are our own creation. People are not interested in voter registration and as someone mentioned, almost 80 per cent of us may not make it back to this Parliament. This is because of our development records. Potential voters ask themselves why they should waste time registering as voters and they are not getting anything out of it. Not in ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: that somebody somewhere was getting people from across the neighbouring State. I do not know whether that is true. I want to be on record here that in my neighbouring constituency, people are coming from the neighbouring constituency to register in order to boost numbers, so that they can retain their seat. That is illegal. That person has nothing to offer. He is like a mercenary. He is just coming in to boost numbers, goes away and does not care whether that person wins or not. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to urge Kenyans that it is upon ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me repeat. I went to New Zealand and fortunately, it was during voting.
