• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so that my time is not wasted, instead of hon. Washiali fighting for the cane farmers in his place, he is fighting--- view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Since Independence, the Somalis have been part of Kenya and they will remain part of Kenya. They have contributed to this economy. The Kenya shilling is now losing to the dollar because of what is happening in the country. After the Eastleigh debacle, the Somalis have kept back. The economy is, therefore, shrinking. Let this Government know that without the input from Somalis, we will not go anywhere. Let this Government be inclusive. Let the Somalis be accorded security. They are the ones who die most through those terrorist attacks. They are the ones who are displaced most. They are ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: respect and end that conflict, the way they did in Mount Elgon and Laikipia. We want to see the same effort. We want to see vehicles and more police officers. Those who are not taking their responsibilities seriously should be sent packing so that there is security in northern Kenya. After all, that is where we are finding oil, natural gas, meat and everything. If only we invested in northern Kenya, this country would leap into the Second World. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Fertilizers and Animal Foodstuffs (Amendments) Bill. I rise to support this Bill because it is timely, well drafted and I congratulate hon. Dr. Wamalwa Wakhungu for coming with such a good Bill, which will help our farmers. I urge hon.

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to say that the agriculture sector is very important and if we invest more money in it, this country’s economy will grow faster. As hon. Ottichilo has said, our soils have deteriorated to a point where they cannot produce good food because of use of bad fertilizers. There are conmen who import and sell substandard fertilizers and farmers end up applying too much fertilizer to the wrong soils and this Bill seeks to correct that anomaly. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, currently, agriculture directly represents 26 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Government that depends so much on agriculture? We are late in setting up a fertilizer plant to produce fertilizer for our farmers. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenya is not as competitive as it used to be because our soils have deteriorated. The Sub-Sahara Africa uses nine kilogrammes of fertilizer per hectare of cultivatable land compared to 100 kilogrammes per hectare in South Asia and 73 kilogrammes in Latin America. So, we are using less fertilizer than any other region and that is why we have less food production. The bulk of fertilizer imports from other countries is weighing this country down. We are spending so much money. Let us set up our local fertilizer manufacturing plant here and we make agriculture more ... view
