• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This made me reflect on where I was working before and that was in the coffee industry. I have been a group manager in the coffee industry for many years. I saw Kiambu go into real estate because of the low prices that coffee fetched and as a result farmers could not make ends meet. This is because fertilizer and the chemicals we used to spray in our coffee farms were imported. We could not afford to pay the workers even when we produced coffee and took it to the Coffee Board of Kenya for sale. This is because the ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, they wanted to come to the farms to see how clean the workers were when they were picking coffee. This made us to hold many meetings in Kiambu County trying to meet them. When the EU officials came and met us in Nairobi, they told us that if we wanted to sell them our coffee then they should give us conditions which we view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I rise to let you know that most of the hon. Members are around. However, because the former Prime Minister is around, that is why they are not in the Chamber. They are, however, around. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Jambo la Nidhamu, mhe. Spika. Ningependa kuwajulisha kwamba hata ukienda katika nyumba za kuhifadhia maiti, utaona ni watu wapi wamekufa wengi leo. Pia, ukienda jela, utaona ni nani wako wengi. Hata ukiangalia wezi, utaona ni akina nani wako wengi. Ukiangalia hata kanisani, utaona ni akina nani wako wengi. Kwa hivyo, sio kupenda kwetu, mtuwie radhi. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion, having come from a constituency with five rivers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we had a big problem during the floods period. Most of the school-going children could not attend classes due to flooding. We also have an agricultural constituency in Juja, where people have coffee and flower farms. The floods also affected those people who were supposed to report to work. We had about 34 bridges which were broken down by the rains. Floods affect our country so much. We often see the people of Budalangi asking ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, also when these floods occur especially in Murang’a area where there are a lot of landslides so many people are displaced from their homes. This leads to school going children sometimes not attending classes. So, I am also in support because during floods the people who are on the ground, mostly the Members of Parliament are visited by people. In Juja where I live, people come to my house talking about how they are displaced by the floods. I would also urge the Government during the allocation of disaster funds to Members of Parliament to ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk about floods, I know we can build a lot of dams and also help the Government irrigate so many acres of land. If we direct this water to dams, we can really irrigate and help the Jubilee Government fulfill its view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Motion as amended. This is because we have a management authority that will broaden the whole thing. When we were contributing without an amendment, the Motion was not as well understood as it is now. When we put the word ‘authority’ it means there are people who have authority on the disaster management, and whom the House can question, and somebody in this House can answer all the questions about disaster management. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we spoke too much and many years passed after flooding in ... view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am hon. Waititu from Juja Constituency. I had asked for that. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. I come from Kiambu County and I have seen what the Kiambu County is supposed to achieve but because of shortage of funds--- If we give the counties more money to run on their own, we will have helped them. As you know, a county is large. A Governor with no money will make people feel that the Government is not trying to help them at the grassroots. The Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology ... view
