• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot and I have no any intention at any given time to come here and lie and to say anything that is not truthful. I would refuse the answer in the first place. Even if those are collection centres, their work is to make sure that what you give is taken where it is supposed to be taken and tested and you get the results. view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kshs1,000 I talked of is fees for soil testing only by KARI. Other institutions charge Kshs600 and others Kshs200. So, the fees vary from institution to institution. I also agree with the hon. Member that, if we had the money, I would have said we do it for free; but we cannot because we do not have enough funds. view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is really a valid point. I would like to take and pass it to the technical officers so that we can see whether we can do that. view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before the current planting season started, the Ministry held over 200 barazas and exhibition activities which we have visited. I went to some and my colleagues went to some, the Minister went to the others and the others were attended by the directors. This is exactly the area where we are passing this information; telling farmers not just to use any fertilizer that a neighbor uses. They should make sure that the type of fertilizer they use is suitable for the soil. So, that is going on. view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I want also to correct the hon. Member. This Ministry has done a lot. It is only that nobody is ready to appreciate. We do not only use DAP, we have 2020, and 1770. There are so many different types of fertilizer which have been supplied on that other side. But, what we are saying is that, if you are a farmer and you want to know exactly what fertilizer to use, please, do not just use any fertilizer; make sure that your soil is tested and then you will be told and advised ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am so happy that you are trying to tame my learned friend. I think my Assistant Minister did her best. Due to the inadequacy of the information available at the time, she was able to report back that this matter has been referred yet again to this House. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: The recommended capacity for Kodiaga Prison in Kisumu is actually 800. Unfortunately, currently this institution is holding 2,200 inmates. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although I did refer to the issue of human rights, I am tempted to say that, again, my learned friend has asked a completely different question. However, she also knows that she raised this matter directly with me when it happened. I was in touch with the Vice-Chairman of the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), Mr. Omar, who actually brought to me what he thought was a video recording of what happened in Kamiti. Unfortunately when we played it, it was blank. That notwithstanding, we are on top of things in Kamiti and we are trying to ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these learned friends of mine have a problem. I said that the purported video recording was blank. I know the Member for Gichugu was very furious, and rightly so, about what happened in Kamiti. All that notwithstanding, I was equally furious. We have been investigating that matter. We were, however, given a blank video recording. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I undertake to get the latest on that matter and get back to this House? I want to get a thorough report on that matter to the satisfaction of the Member for Gichugu and of course my learned junior friend from Garsen. view
