• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. The Ministry of Agriculture is going to send 12 tractors to Voi and Taveta and areas around there in January. That is what we have programmed to give. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry plans to deliver 10 tones of assorted seeds of drought resistant crops such as millet, sorghum, cowpeas, pigeon peas and green grams to benefit farmers in Kitui District, which includes Mutomo Constituency for the October/November short rains. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, by the time the Question was asked, there were no Mutomo or Nzambani districts. But what I can assure the hon. Member is that we are in the process of bulking seeds. We have signed an agreement with Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) for those drought resistant crops. In the last season, we had invested, hoping to have 600 metric tonnes but we ended up having 113 metric tonnes because of failure of rain. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we talk about the districts, they share, but I can assure the hon. Member that at that time his constituency got five tonnes of assorted seeds. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that Mutito constituency will get five tonnes of assorted drought resistant seeds. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, in the last season, we invested Kshs240 million in drought resistant crops but we got only Kshs113 tonnes, which were shared to all the districts in ASAL areas. We have already signed another memorandum of understanding with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) for bulking of similar seeds. However, due to rainfall failure, we might also end up having a similar problem to the one we have, that is not having enough seeds to give to every district. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was not an issue of the Ministry. This was a donation that was given by a bank to Ukambani districts. What happened was that the money was given to the Ministry, which then went to KARI for bulking of seeds. We expect that the 17 constituencies will get seeds out of this cheque of Kshs10 million. view
