• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to wish away a question that relates to hunger? We are talking of people who are starving and they are now dying? She said that--- view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Ministry’s budget. This is a crucial Ministry in this country. A lot of foreign earnings for this country come as a result of the activities of this Ministry. There are a couple of things that I would also like to add that I think are important. I find it a bit interesting that the Ministry has not found it necessary to work on the Rural Electrification Programme. In an area like Ndaragwa, we can only benefit from Aberdares Forest if some power is provided to the fence. In ... view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, even as we are discussing the issues of Mau Complex and what human beings have done to it, we have failed to note that over 80,000 acres of the forest cover of the Aberdares Forest has disappeared because of the huge fires that have continued to wreck havoc. Sometimes, it takes even three or four weeks before anybody goes there to put out the fire. Without the fire command stations or posts, we will continue losing this forest cover even if we get human beings away from Mau Complex and other water towers. It is also important that the ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what they are doing to alleviate water problems in the upper parts of this country? Most of the water companies are serving the lower parts of this country in total disregard of the upper parts of the country. One of the reasons we have water problems is that we have for a long time neglected waters towers in this country. In my constituency we have one of the water towers, but my people do not get water from it although they are supposed to preserve Aberdares ridges. ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from Ndaragwa Constituency which is the largest producer of pyrethrum in this area and if the records say otherwise, then I am ready for any corrections. Looking at these electoral zones, we have Naivasha being grouped together in Eastern and Central zones. Central and Eastern zones include the larger Nyandarua, Imenti South, Imenti North and Naivasha. In the last period, Naivasha produced 150 metric tonnes of pyrethrum and it is more strategically positioned to have been grouped with Central Rift. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what wisdom was used to group ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House that Naivasha is nearer Imenti South and not nearer Nakuru? view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion and also to those who have opposed it. Essentially, we have had virtually all hon. Members supporting this Motion. I want to point out two things: First, it has come out very clearly from the presenters or debaters that the issue of height as a requirement in the armed forces has no merit in our time. There are many other issues that need to be looked into. We have to look at the loopholes that have been used by ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that opportunity. The Ministries have done very well. However, there are a few issues that I would like to point out. One is the issue of the feeding programme that has just been mentioned. In my constituency, you only need to cross the road to Laikipia where children are getting the school feeding programme. There is no feeding programme in my constituency and yet, it has the same climatic condition as the area across the road. From a very early point, the child is able to see that we have two or ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister, up to this point has not given this House the concrete steps the Government is taking. He is still running away from this question. Could he do so? view
