• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The gap that exists betweem farmers and the Government is due to lack of regulations and laws which should be in place to protect and cushion the small-scale farmers in their business. You will see that farmers mostly sell their produce to the middlemen; it means that they cannot get a fair price for their produce. If we have proper laws in place, then farmers will be protected and will get proper earnings. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I, therefore, say that this is the kind of a Motion that should be translated into a Bill in due course, so that we can get laws that will protect our farmers. This is important now that the Constitution recognizes the fact that every person has a right to invest and work in a free market. We should encourage farmers, especially the women--- I appreciate what hon. Waititu was saying, that we can really bring up this aspect of our economy. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It would be a great idea if we were to have the laws and regulations that will cater for dairy farming. This is a Motion that is very important to the lives of Kenyans. This is the way we should go as the fathers and mothers of the nation and as the Republic of Kenya. view

• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is not in order for the hon. Member to pick out Tanzania as one of the tates that we should really slow down on in terms of the implementation of the Insurance Bill. We are East Africans and we signed the East African Treaty. Tanzania is a partner state as we speak. So, if we signed the East African Community Protocol then Tanzania must come on board. It is on board. It is not for the hon. Member to pick out Tanzania and say that they are not opening their markets. The electronic version of ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I do not know if he has attempted to go to that market and he has been stopped from exercising his free market movement. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am the Chairperson of the committee concerned with East African integration. I have made several visits in Tanzania and Arusha specifically. I have never received any complaint or question from the hon. Member that Tanzania is not complying with that protocol. As we speak, we can only take that to be a prejudice on the part of the Member, which is not proper. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I stand to support this Bill, I have seen in the preamble of the Bill that the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade consulted various stakeholders which include the Price WaterhouseCoopers and the national Treasury among others. The way forward is that they should have more consultations because the stakeholders do not end up with the three institutions that I have indicated. If they had consulted the Ministry of the East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism, the Members would have understood, more importantly, the Committee on Regional Integration. There are very good ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: integration. What this means is that, we should widen the political, economic, social and cultural integration so that we are able to better the lives of the EAC partner states. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there was a protocol that was signed by the partner states; Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi. We have seen some of the countries being quite fast in the integration process. There are others that have not been as quick as the other partner states. But I do not think the best way is to condemn these countries. We have the letter of the law, what could ... view

Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the resolution of the House of 10th July, 2013, the Select Committee investigating matters of khat reports to the House within a period of ninety (90) days, this House further resolves to extend the period by sixty (60) days in order to enable the Committee to comprehensively conclude its activities. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Committee on Miraa was formed on 10th July, 2013. Upon an amendment, it comprises of 29 Members. It set upon doing its work and the first business was election of the Vice-Chairperson and thereafter ... view
