• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, before the activity was undertaken by this firm, there was a meeting in the Prime Minister’s Office comprising of officers from my office, Permanent Secretaries from my office, Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation to deliberate on this particular issue. After that very elaborate meeting which included officers from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), it was decided that they all go to Mombasa and use this firm to sample and produce results. That was done under the auspices of the Prime Minister ... view

• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said the money was not meant for one produce. It was meant for value chain addition for leather, honey, cotton, pyrethrum, coffee and coconut. Some of the money has gone into honey processing in Marigat. We are supporting revival of the processing of cotton. We are also supporting value addition of pyrethrum products and coffee. Last month, we also started working on coconut. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the sentiments expressed by the hon. Member, particularly with regard to the employment of youth. We have not spent money in Nyatike and Migori districts so far. It is another Ministry improving the landing site. As I said, this is as a consequence of what is being done. The next will be a follow up of value addition of all fish products, including fish skin. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, this Kshs300 million was meant to cover six products. Some of it was supposed to be spent in Nyatike and Migori districts. About Kshs20 million was spent in Kisumu to set up a factory. It was on realization that we need to convert our research findings into actual production and hence what Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) has been doing on fish leather, hides and skins. We need to actually go into production, so that we can benefit from the technology they have developed. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this money was provided in the Budget to cover Kisumu, Nyatike, Migori, Koibatek and Malindi districts where we have leather, honey, cotton, pyrethrum, coffee and coconut, among other crops. It was for the first time the Government allocated money for the development of these SMEs to turn actual research findings into productive activities; value chain additions as we call it. There was no diversion of money to Marigat, for that matter, because it was covered in this. Incidentally, not all the Kshs300 million has been released to us by the Treasury. As you know, we have ... view
