• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to come with the answer on Tuesday next week. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for that clarification which, I am sure, the hon. Member for Ikolomani will find useful. I was not on a party mission. It is not just Prof. Kaloki and Mr. Affey who joined me; Mr. Balala, who is an ODM Member of Parliament, came in as the Minister for Tourism and his expenses were covered by the Ministry. I really want to plead that we appreciate that we are going to be absolutely careful in the use of public funds. It is our intention to now try to lobby the P5s. Hon. Members ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of the Standing Order No.176, I wish to communicate the following changes in the membership of the House Committees. The reason is that some old members have since become Assistant Ministers and, therefore, necessitating these changes. It is just house-keeping, so that as we prepare to break for Christmas holidays and the House adjourns sine die, these changes will have to be operationalized. Mr. Speaker, Sir, both the Whips have agreed on this list. I want to read the list. With regard to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co- operatives, the ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the decision of the House Business Committee was Order No.8 on Procedural Motion, Order No.9, Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, Order No.10, Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, Order No. 11, Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and Order No.12, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. That was the order. There is no ambiguity, whatsoever. Therefore, my good friend should stand guided. However, what I understood was that there was an attempt to want to re-order and reorganize business appearing in today’s Order Paper, so that Order No.12, comes in ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kenya Sugar Board through sugar-cane pricing Committee is using simplified cane pricing formula to pay sugar-cane farmers as follows: That is net price, that is “x” factory minus VAT minus sugar-cane development levy times 50 per cent times 50 over tonnage of cane versus tonnage of sugar. The farmers share ratio adopted at 50 per cent, tonnage cane and tonnage sugar was set at ten, being the industry average. (b) Mumias Sugar Company is among the sugar millers with high percentage of compliance with this formula. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that Mumias Sugar Company violated the formula. I said, it is among those millers whose compliance is 96 per cent. If you look at the formula and the calculation, you will find that their compliance is 96.2 per cent. If you look at the others, they range between 89 and 90 per cent. But we appointed a committee to purely audit Mumias Sugar Company because it had the biggest problem of not paying. When that Committee sat down and looked at it, they found that Mumias Sugar Company has arrears. The arrears ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not protecting anybody. I do not even know the people of Mumias. I am talking about a finding by the Kenya Sugar Board. I am not disagreeing that West Kenya Sugar Company has the highest compliance percentage. It has 98.5 per cent. I have said that Mumias Sugar Company has 96 per cent compliance and they have arrears to pay to the farmers. view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to table this report which was done last week. The sugar price varies. It is not really constant. It could be going for Kshs4,000 per tonne and the way they calculate this pricing of cane is that they take “x” factory price minus statutory deduction, which is VAT minus sugar-cane development fund. view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said the pricing Committee has given every miller two weeks to comply. We are waiting for them to come up with a report in two weeks time. view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to do so. I do not have a problem with that. It is me who requested for the meeting and we have already held three of them. I have given them two weeks to comply. view
