• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: of the farmers’ representative. However, I am sure that in our country, we have a federation of farmers’ organisations. Therefore, it is good that, even if that is done through regulations, some specificity will be introduced so that when it comes to picking those members there will be no controversy and very many people scrambling for those positions. This is because, as Kenyans, we are very good at rushing to courts and saying that, probably, those are not the right people to represent us. Agriculture is a devolved function and the Bill provides some function to the County Executive Committee ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Among the various functions listed in the Bill as functions of the CEC for agriculture in the county, is issuance of licences. My only concern is this: Is he going to make that decision as an individual or is there going to be some kind of a committee at that level also? Probably, those could be some of the things that could be provided for in the regulations when the council comes up with regulations guiding its operations. We know that if we leave the supervision of such a system – the licensing and the revocation if the licensed warehouses ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: produce. Therefore, I support this Bill. I wish we could come up with something similar to this for livestock farmers. Thank you very much for giving me the time. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the Report. Whatever findings that have been established for Nairobi County applies to all the other counties from the one year that we have been in office overseeing these The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: funds. Whatever recommendation they have come up with is very appropriate especially touching on the governance and the acting CEO and the board. None of the independent board members are in place. That is a very serious governance issue. The NG-CDF as has been said, is the only fund that is taking care of education and security, two key sectors. Therefore, it is important that the Committee considers coming up with change in the existing Act so that we can increase the percentage of the NG-CDF, so that we can have more money for education and security. Thank you. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Washiali for bringing this Motion which I support. As a country, we are alive to the fact that we are having a lot of misbehaviour among our children, especially in high schools. We cannot wholly blame our students for their misbehaviour. Part of the reasons we are observing an upsurge in misbehaviour in our schools could be attributed to what happens at home and generally in society, as well as in the school environment. There are lapses in terms of parenting at home. If we are frank with ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, as I support, I would like, as part of what comes out of this Motion, to have many more correctional facilities put up in the regions where we lack those facilities, particularly in upper Eastern, North Eastern and part of the Coast and part of upper Rift Valley. Thank you. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak to these proposed amendments. These amendments which I support are timely. We remember that the principal Act which the proposed amendments intend to improve was enacted way back in 2011. It was a year after the promulgation of our new Constitution. After coming to force of the county governments in 2013, we realised that there were deficiencies in the original Act. Especially, you will realise that some of the county headquarters do not qualify to be municipalities, if we go by the qualifications of municipalities. ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: You will realise that in the marginalised areas, the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), most of what we call towns are market centers. They are bigger than villages, they do not qualify to be called towns because of small populations, yet they require services which are required in other towns. Therefore, the aspect of adding market centers to what was in the original Act is an aspect which appeals to those of us who come from ASAL areas. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I also wish to state that we have had situations where market centers have been created haphazardly for political reasons, especially in the rangelands. This has not been good for us because it affects the health of the rangelands and fragile ecosystems. Therefore, because the proposed amendments clearly outline procedures which need to be followed for creation of these categories of urban centers from cities, municipalities, towns and market places, then the objectivity introduced by the proposed amendments will help us to rationalise the existing centers and ensure that the trading centers are not created haphazardly in the ASAL areas. ... view
