• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: heading. As it is now, land is getting depleted. I have four boys and I only have 40 acres of land and plus the grandchildren, I will have a lot of problems. We can solve this problem by introducing eco villages or vijiji vya ujamaa . Hon. Deputy Speaker, before I finish, if you give me one minute, we have an issue of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Trans Nzoia and I hope the Chairman will look into it. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish you well in your endeavours. I hope I will benefit in the long run. I want to again thank the Departmental Committee on Lands for having mediated with the Senate on community land. I have noticed that the submissions on this matter are very broad. It is, therefore, very exhaustive. I have no doubt that the issues were ironed out. I am happy to note from the records that the Council of Governors was involved. The NLC was automatically there. More importantly, other special interest groups like human rights groups, FIDA, Action ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: hope that as they do this, they will be compensating the communities that were exploring and exploiting the natural resources. Priority should be given to the communities that own the natural resources in those areas given the fact that there has been a big problem in areas where there are scarce resources like water and pastures. With recognition and management of the same, this is an action in the right direction. I want to come back to what I had mentioned earlier on. Communities are expanding and land is becoming scarce. This has become a source of conflict in the ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. It is a progressive Bill. For those who do not know, what happens is that one takes goods to the store and is given a serialised receipt. In our context, it will be a receipt made by De La Rue. You get a particular company that produces those receipts. After taking your goods and agricultural products to a store, you will keep the serialised receipt that you will be given. It has worked well in a country like India. I happen to have ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: that quantity of goods and then you trade. Once the receipt has been moved to the new owner, it is again registered in the Central Bureau. It is like a stock exchange. It is an advanced system and we should embrace it so that goods do not have to be moved, so that you can only trade using a telephone. It is like the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) system. If you are in Mombasa and you need maize, beans, rice or wheat, all you need to do is contact the Central Bureau, which is like a council to give you ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We have very poor storage in this country. Yesterday, we heard the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) complaining before the Committee that some cereals are moved to some areas and since the storage is too bad, they rot within four or five months. This system will have a warehouse that is inspected and must meet minimum requirements. These stores are normally commercial and their standards are very good. Once the goods are moved and you have the receipt, your goods can stay for four or five years without any problem. Storage of goods will be maintained with this system. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Farmers will not have to worry because there are inspectors who go round making sure that farm inputs and standards of the cereals are maintained because the Workshop Receipt System Council has personnel who maintain standards in the whole country. There are also agriculturalists and agronomists who are trained. The extension officers ensure that minimum requirements for producing maize and other crops are met. We have had cases of people complaining of poor fertiliser and seeds. This Council will provide the minimum standard that farmers must meet. I think we should embrace and fast track this Bill so that we ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Wamunyinyi for moving this Bill. Sugarcane-growing areas have had problems in terms of transportation of the bulky product and VAT on this product, which make it very difficult for farmers to reap from their sweat. The passage of this Bill will help our farmers who have dedicated most of their pieces of land to sugarcane growing. As has been mentioned earlier, importation of fake sugar from other areas will be something of the past because most of the sugar will be produced locally and it is going ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I speak with a smile. It is good to have been given this opportunity to first of all thank Hon. Nyamunga for coming up with this Motion. The import of this Motion is that we need to look at the way we handle harvesting of fish. Two, there needs to be training for the people in the fishing industry. Three is the fact that handling of fish is very unhygienic. The traditional way of doing it is not the best. We are complaining about the importation of fish from China. I agree ... view
