• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this incident happened almost three years ago. Could the Assistant Minister inform this House what kind of time period Kenyans should expect compensation in future given that it took them three years to pay Kshs50,000? view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Question No.1271 is on the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya (PBK), which has not been paying farmers, and I am looking for an answer from the Minister. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) whether he is aware that the PBK has not paid farmers in Nyandarua County for crop delivered; and, (b) what measures he will take to ensure that the farmers are paid promptly for their produce. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you would want to know that I did not get any written answer and that explains the “no” answer from the Assistant Minister. Can the Assistant Minister stop misleading this House that crop delivery to the PBK is increasing? Just to illustrate this fact, in the year 2003, the PBK received 11,000 tonnes of dried flowers. In 2005, flower delivery to the PBK went down to 1,000 tonnes. Last year, the PBK received only 470 tonnes and they expect 350 tonnes this year. Given this statistic, how would the Assistant Minister convince this House that ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House? If production of pyrethrum has been going up in this country, and the PBK has continued to receive increased flowers at its Nakuru Depot, why is it that they have not been able to pay farmers since 2008? Why is it that there are no farmers planting pyrethrum within the county? All of them are uprooting their pyrethrum crop. Is he in order to mislead this House and actually tell a blatant lie to Kenyans? view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not a light issue as the Assistant Minister is trying to put it. In 1992, this country controlled 92 per cent of the world market of pyrethrum. As we sit here today we only control two per cent. We have lost 90 per cent of the world market because of mismanagement of the pyrethrum industry by this Ministry. Actually, it will be very dangerous if we allow the Assistant Minister to get away with these answers. He has told us that the PBK is selling assets to pay for the pyrethrum that was ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: happen after all the assets have been sold? These are farmers who derived their livelihood from pyrethrum farming just like coffee, sugar-cane and any other cash crop which has completely been mismanaged by the Ministry of Agriculture. It is important that we get a proper answer to this Question because we are dealing with an industry that has been killed by the Ministry. To allow the Ministry get away with this is killing farmers in Nyandarua County and in the other five counties in this country. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sure that the farmers in all these counties will have a relief that, at least, something is being done by the House. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we continue to receive telephone calls from the young men and women, who are within these training centers. Their complaint is that the criteria they follow for them to be enrolled for courses is far from what the Minister has said. There are those who report and immediately they are through with the three months or whatever number of months they go through training, they get opportunities to undertake courses ahead of others, who have been on the queue. Could the Minister inform this House what the Ministry is doing to ensure that those youths from very ... view
