• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to correct the hon. Member. I was never given a cheque of Kshs10 million for bulking of seeds. However, I know that there was a donation of Kshs10 million to Ukambani, and that it was given to the Ministry--- view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in return, the Ministry gave it to KARI for bulking of seeds. The five tonnes I talked about are from the Ministry. The Kshs10 million is not from the Ministry. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: (a) No GMO maize has been imported into Kenya. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: (b) Since no GMO maize has been imported, the price comparison does not arise. The imported maize was sold at a willing buyer, willing seller basis through competitive market rates. (c) In view of the above, part (c) does not arise. The importation of maize was done in two lots. The first tranche was 153 metric tonnes and the second one was 135 metric tonnes and all certificates for the importation of maize are here, certifying that no GMO maize was brought into this country. I hereby lay the documents on the Table of the House. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the maize we got from Tanzania which was 8,141 bags cost us US$270,477. The cost per metric tonne is US$369. The maize we got from South Africa cost US$420 per metric tonne and the IS was US$430 per metric tonne. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, currently, we do not have a policy on GMO and the Government is developing one. At the moment, the maize being consumed in this country is non-GMO. As a Ministry, we can come up with a Statement regarding GMO. At the moment, there is nothing I can say. But I can assure the House that we will do so and bring it here. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in that file, if you go deeper, you will find a certificate from KEPHIS confirming that the maize was GMO free. It is not only the South African company that did the inspection. We did our own and it is in that file. With regard to the issue of doing business with that company, it was just a one-off incident and there is nothing else that we have done with that company. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as this Question is concerned, I have given him the answer. He can go through it and put another Question instead of deferring this one. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request you to defer this Question until tomorrow. The Minister answered the Question, but Ms. Karua sought time to go through the papers. She is now back and the Minister is away. Could you defer this Question until tomorrow when the Minister will be available to answer it? view
