When that Paper was presented, poultry farmers were not among the beneficiaries. However, since Mr. Ababu Namwamba is bringing a Motion towards that direction, we will humbly request him to ensure that poultry farmers can be part of the package this time round. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are aware. However, there are some late payment fees which have been due for the last 20 years when the loans have been outstanding. That is what has been computed and the AFC has given him some interest concession so that he can clear this loan once and for all. view

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to be corrected. What I wanted to say is that the Government has all the intentions; we are coming up with a Cabinet Memo which can clear us so that we can raise Kshs1.3 billion which can be used to sort all the debts owed to the National Bank of Kenya (NBK), the Barclays Bank of Kenya and the other creditors. By the time we are reviving this important firm, all the important debts can be sorted out once and for all. We have the support of the entire Cabinet and we shall be ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support this Motion and thank Mr. Namwamba for going out of his way. We know that he is also doing something about the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) and immediately the Motion comes here, we are also prepared to support it and ensure that the Government allocates for the write-off of all these loans so that the farmers can, at least, have a smile in their faces. view
