• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Like I had said earlier, this Question has been deferred three times and you could see that the Assistant Minister is giving me the same answer that he gave on the first day and even the second day. Today, being the third day, he is giving me the same answers which I refute totally; whatever he is giving here is not correct. We are talking about Kshs75 million that was given to the farmers. I said that whatever the report the Assistant Minister is giving here is incorrect. The Assistant Minister was ordered ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the answer. That is why I had a direction from the Chair and the Assistant Minister was ordered to come to the ground in order to verify the names appearing on this list--- view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, number one, he has not come to the ground. The farmers were given Kshs50 million, but he has not truly explained how that amount was really disbursed to the farmers. Secondly, the names that the Assistant Minister has circulated in this answer cannot be verified. That is why he was ordered to come to the ground and meet the farmers so that we can verify the names that they have indicated in this paper and get to know the beneficiaries. Up to this moment, my good friend--- view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have got no interest in this Question. I am a Member of Parliament for Nyando Constituency where people grow rice and I represent the farmers. I will speak for the farmers at any time when there is corruption in the area and especially when an amount worth Kshs75 million is being misused by your officers instead of benefiting the poor farmers. I will stand firm and I have got no interest all! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter and I want to be truthful to this House that I will pursue this matter to the breath and to the last strength of my life. The National Irrigation Board that falls under this Ministry of Water and Irrigation was given this money. If they were given money and they never distributed--- I would take your direction to refer this matter to the relevant committee so that they will be able to go underneath and reveal--- view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, number one is about the money. The Assistant Minister has denied that they were given money by the FAO. Instead of reporting Kshs50 million, he is giving an answer that they have only been given about Kshs3 million, while on the ground it is known that the FAO had given the NIB Kshs50 million to give to the farmers and they had signed an agreement. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a matter of national interest to the farmers of West Kano. You cannot, under your jurisdiction, just decide to move to another Question without the Assistant Minister being referred to the relevant departmental committee to investigate--- view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Assistant Minister talks about Nyando District, is he talking about the greater Nyando District? Nyando District has now been split into three districts. We have Nyakach, Muhuroni and Nyando districts. view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, rice is more of a ready business. The DC will come in during harvesting period after farmers have worked hard with co-operatives, and this is not only in Mwea but also in my area. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House the role of the DC in rice farming? view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Next time, I will make sure that I rise on time to catch your eye. view
