• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to state the truth. The bridge is poorly done. I would like to request the Minister to come and inspect the road to see the sort of work they are doing for our people in Meru. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am here. I want to give an undertaking that we shall bring a very comprehensive Statement on Tuesday afternoon. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Due to lack of sufficient numbers, I also beg to withdraw this amendment. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to really apologise for not coming to answer this Question. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Question No.122 was supposed to be answered by hon. Ndambuki. But he is indisposed. So, I have just learnt that he is not in the House. That is why I have come and I am more than willing to proceed and answer it, but we are really very sorry. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the Draft Constitution. From the outset, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Committee of Experts for work well done. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our colleagues in the PSC for really walking the talk and being able to unite and come up with a more improved version of the Draft Constitution. I will mostly dwell on representation. I would like to support the representation of the people on Chapter 7. We have had challenges ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that within the dry areas of Nyanza Province, farmers were supplied with drought-tolerant cassavas and, sweet potatoes planting materials in the last season. (b) My Ministry will provide Nyatike farmers, among other areas, with sufficient farm inputs conducive to the respective areas during the next planting season to boost food production in the area. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The crop seeds which I have mentioned are the ones which we gave during the last planting season, but this year we are planning to give seeds of all the legumes, including maize and beans as we had done during the 2007/2008 under our National Accelerated Agricultural Input Access Programme (NAAIAP), whereby we were able to give a package to the farmers, and more than 253 farmers in the area benefited from a wide-range of drought resistant crops. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I sympathize with the hon. Member for bringing the question of cotton here, and since we in the Ministry of Agriculture support cotton farming, we have gone out of our way to assure the farmers of a minimum price of Kshs30 per kilogramme of cotton. But it is not the responsibility of the Ministry to mop up cotton in the industry; it is the responsibility of the millers. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Ministry of Agriculture is faced with a big challenge. During the last planting season, we went out of our way to mobilize all the inputs needed. We have a bumper harvest in parts of Eastern and Central Provinces, but unfortunately the Treasury has not provided the Ministry of Agriculture with money so that we can fund the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to purchase this maize we have in parts of the country. As at now, we are not in a position to start buying maize. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stand in this House my Minister is camping at the Treasury to ensure that the Ministry of Finance is able to provide us with more than Kshs2.1 billion, so that we can start buying maize for this season. Unfortunately, so far we have not received anything from the Treasury. view
