• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government made deliberate efforts to increase the price of maize from Kshs1,750, and we are currently buying it at Kshs1,950 a bag, which is highly commendable. The market is free; if the farmers find a better alternative to the millers, they can go ahead and sell elsewhere. But as the Government, we are buying at Kshs1,950, cash on delivery. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to assure this House that the low-cost unga will be available across the country in all supermarkets, so that all consumers can benefit out of the subsidy we are giving. So, go to any supermarket and you will find this unga in five-kilogramme bags, and made in Kenya for Kenyans. view

• 9 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there has been a big time lag and delay in paying the farmers, but we have made all the necessary efforts to clear all the outstanding debts.

• 9 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the longest outstanding debt is from November, 2007. I hereby make commitments to the tune of Kshs70 million. We are going to clear the entire figure of Kshs70 million before the end of this year to all the farmers in the country. view
• 9 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya owes Lari farmers, Kshs45,000. The hon. Member can see me after this session and I will make sure that he gets his payment. On long term measures, we have decided to increase the acreage under pyrethrum. We have decided to give 100 million seedlings of pyrethrum to ensure that we have adequate production. The other issue is spot payment of all the deliveries which are made. That is because the biggest problem has been the delay in payment. We want to ensure that, within one month, all the farmers are paid. Thank ... view
