• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Miscellaneous Amendment Bill is very important because it affects so many areas. In as much as it appears to be touching on small sections of the law to be amended, but they may have a lot of implications in as far as legislation in particular areas is concerned. I note that there are amendments relating to agriculture, livestock and so forth, but I am not aware that my Committee on Agriculture which is the relevant committee has had a chance to look at the necessary amendments. Would I be in order to suggest that these ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the amendments except for a few areas that I will briefly touch on. On the issue of Urban Areas and Cities Act, I find the amendments here quite in order.

• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As a Member of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, and knowing that we have been grappling with issues concerning food security and the central role that fertiliser and animal foodstuffs play, this Bill could not have come at the right time. This is the right time especially now that our Constitution guarantees every Kenyan a right to quality food. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the fertiliser and animal foodstuffs industry has remained unregulated for a long time. The sector is faced with a lot of confusion and is unpredictable such that when the ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We are anxiously waiting for this Bill to be passed so that this sector is regulated. Today, some of the animal feeds that you find in the market is substandard and yet it is sold very expensively.
