• 24 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said, the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has entered into an arrangement to hire extra vehicles during the peak time. I can assure the Member that, that is not going to happen. If it happens, let me know and I will talk to the management of the KTDA, because they are the ones who assured us that it was not going to happen. view
• 24 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information I have is that, that has been taken care of. They have hired lorries to collect the tea, and no collection of tea will be delayed anymore. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that some of the beneficiaries in the Lower Eastern region are unable to repay their loans due to severe drought experienced in 2009 and afflatoxin infection. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: (b) I am willing to address non-performing loan accounts through re-scheduling and restructuring of the loans as well as interest waivers on case by case basis. I am appealing to those farmers who have loans and are experiencing problems servicing them to visit the AFC offices, so that they can work with our officers with a view to re- scheduling/restructuring the loans, or waive interest on the same. One is allowed to restructure a loan for even more than three years. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I had the authority, I would waive the loans now but, because I do not have the authority--- view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is what I am coming to. I am saying that for such cases to be confirmed, they have to go through three stages, namely, rescheduling, restructuring and interest waiving. Thereafter, waivers can be considered. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that after the loans have gone through the three stages, we will consider giving waivers on case by case basis. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the former Minister came here, he was going to waive interest on all loans. The matter was subsequently presented to the Cabinet but up to now, the Cabinet has not come up with an answer. I am, therefore, appealing to the hon. Member that we go the way I have advised, so that we can help the farmers. view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true. We acquired over 40 maize drying pieces of equipment, which have been delivered to various parts of the country. Those areas which did not get the equipment will be supplied with the same in the next financial year. view
