• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very good question because it also affects my constituency. The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) had money to buy commercial maize which they are supposed to sell to schools and other institutions. The only thing I can do is to find out how much they have in their stores for commercial purposes. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I know the price remains the same. There is no change. The going price would be as last season. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether there is a mechanism unless it is done at the Cabinet level, whose meetings I do not attend. I can only talk about the Ministry. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can only check and communicate to the hon. Member if there is any way because at the moment, I do not know any. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the moment there is no window of importation although they have been writing in the newspapers that the Government is going to import. The Government is not going to import any maize. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not misleading the House. If you look further at the answer, I went further and qualified that the window was there last year but it expired. It expired on 31st December, 2011. That is what I have said and I am not misleading the House. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the time that window was opened, we had a crisis in the country and we did not have any maize. That is the reason why it was opened. Now that we are back and we have enough, that is, over 29.5 million bags in the country, that authority has been closed down. There is no authority for anybody at the moment to import maize. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government is in the process of looking for more money. It gave NCPB Kshs2 billion and it is in the process of giving more money but at the moment the only thing that I request hon. Members and all Kenyans who have maize is to take the maize to NCPB and the warehousing receipt whereby the maize is stored by NCPB and when the farmer decides to sell or when NCPB gets the money from the Government it can be bought. The maize will be kept, fumigated and dried by NCPB on behalf of farmers. view
• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion. I would like to urge Members to take time off so that we can go and see what is really happening in our constituencies. We had very good rains but we are having bore warms that are destroying our crops. I urge Members to go, support and educate our famers on how to fight the bore warms. The Ministry has given each District Agricultural Officer (DAO) more than 5,000 litres of chemical to fight the bore warms. This is threatening our harvest and we are getting very close to harvest. ... view
