• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Let me first begin by thanking the Mover and seconder. Hon. Cecilia amazes me with her intellect and interest on matters education. She has made very good recommendations while seconding. I hope somebody in the county executive around the fishing areas and the national executive is listening. The whole fishing sector requires thinking outside the box. We are making a lot of noise that fish is coming from China. It is not new noise. Those of us from Lake Victoria region have been telling Kenyans that nearly all ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: So, how nice would it be for the Executive of the Republic of Kenya to have mercy on us? We know nothing has ever been invested in the lake. If I were to bring the obvious to the attention of all and sundry, that lake is the third largest taxpayer to the Exchequer. Beyond Pay As You Earn (PAYE) which everybody pays and the Port of Mombasa, the next is Lake Victoria. How can you milk a cow without feeding it? The lake is starved. It is hungry despite all this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: money being collected. If for example you take the constituency represented by Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo, it has over 30 beachfronts and taxes are collected there. The lake is free for all. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Who is a fisherman? Somebody who buys a boat, employs some people and collects money. The Government does not know what they do. A few years ago on this Floor, I opposed the Economic Stimulus Programme for the fishing industry which was giving people money to dig fishponds. Use the money to clean hyacinth in the lake. We do not need fishponds in a 10 kilometer radius. Produce fingerlings and put them in the lake for production of fish. That is what everybody does. That is what Scandinavia does and that is the method that people who want to create ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We are importing fish from China. Lake Naivasha alone can feed this country with fish but look at its decay now. If you go to a beach hotel or any hotel in Mombasa, the sea food you eat is imported. It has always been and yet we have so many kilometers of seafront. You do not hear about it. Ever since I was born, I have never heard the Government of Kenya to which we pay taxes give any bailout money or invest any money in the fishing sector. Now that that is the case, we need to think out ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to support this Motion. I was mentioned by friend, Hon. Koyoo. I want to tell him now that he supported the Committee, immediately we pass this, he will receive a letter from me allowing him to rejoin the Committee The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: because it is about all of us. So, Koyoo just relax, I am bigger than what you are trying to make me. It could have been inadvertent by the Whip but I do not even have to sit in a Committee. We want participation from the Committee from all over. When CORD de-whipped its Members from the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, it is not the first one. In the last Parliament, I was the Chief Whip. I withdrew all my Members when the Coalition Government was not agreeing. I used Standing Orders to withdraw the Members. What ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I understand the thought process of Hon. Munuve. This is a House of rules. I saw the things Hon. Munuve was saying recently when His Excellency the President visited Kambaland. I then said that maybe whoever is trying to mete out punishment on him is right. When you talk about sycophancy--- I watched him on TV talk about his leaders. How do you expect to be led if you abuse your leaders in public? My good friend, the Leader of the Majority Party, you have been here. When I felt you were being victimised by your party, I ... view
