So, instead of establishing only one factory, we should target establishing many factories because the process does not involve sophisticated technology.

• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: international market; neither do we have say on their ownership here at home. A small tea farmer in Kericho or Kiambu grows tea there but they do not determine the price they are paid. The middlemen get everything and most of the big estates are owned by the multinationals. So, when you hear that Kenya is the second largest tea producer, it is not the black Kenyans who produce it. It is the “yellow” Kenyans who produce it. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: So, I would now want to urge this House that while supporting this Motion for setting up a fertilizer board so as to build some factory to produce fertiliser locally in order to bring costs down--- In Ukambani we have the two big rivers – Athi River and Tana River.

I want to make it very clear that in Kitui, where I come from, we never hear of subsidized fertilizers. We only buy the input at normal prices. It is as if when the NCPB talks about farming and fertilizers, they talk about the North Rift region view

• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second and while doing so, I want to say this: As has been exhibited in the House, there is total support and for someone to serve for 33 years in the Civil Service and no finger is pointed at him or her, then that is a good thing. So, on the Adjournment Motion, I beg to second. view

• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion because we have lost so many elephants. Before I contribute to the Motion, I want to support what hon. Shakeel has said. If a few people in China are involved in ivory trade in the black market, you cannot condemn the whole country. China is a true friend of Kenya. She is doing a good job in Kenya. view
