• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I support the hon. Member who said that maybe we made a mistake by adopting a presidential system of government. If you look at the responsibilities that we have, sometimes we need Cabinet Secretaries in Parliament so that they can understand the plight of our people. When we talk about vetting, it is only the President and Members of Parliament who vet these people. Members of Parliament are vetted at the grassroots by the people who elect them. These people are the cream of the society having been picked from so many others. If we can give them an opportunity ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to end by echoing another issue which the Mover had raised, and this is the question of Parliament or the committees of this House having the same powers as those of the High Court. I think this is also another opportunity where we can comprehensively look at those powers that the Constitution has vested in this House. In most of the cases, we have claimed that we have the same powers as those of the High Court and yet on many occasions we summon people to appear before these committees, but they decline. When this happens, ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think that is also very important so that we can also discuss--- view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also wish to state from the outset that I stand to support this Bill. In doing so, I would like to say that the creation of the Fertilizer Board will go along way. We know like my colleague has said, we have had so many problems with the boards. We have had many cartels and corruption, but the creation of this board or authority will look after matters of investment. Farmers should not fear corruption. We will find a way of killing corruption in this county. The creation of this board will ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: My serious support to this particular Bill is because we need to have fertilizer factories in this country. For a long time, we have been importing fertilizers and we are the greatest consumers of fertilizers. Why can we not have factories that can actually manufacture fertilizers in this country and allow farmers to access fertilizers at the right time? view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: When we establish the board, we need to do so objectively. We should know very well that our farmers need our support and consideration. As we speak now, there are several areas which are lacking fertilizers; areas which are actually engaging in farming. They want to plant right now, but there is no supply of fertilizer just because, the fertilizers which are there are kept in a particular depot or depots and so, most of the people cannot access it. We need a board that will re-look at it and only deal with fertilizers and nothing else. Otherwise, I wish ... view

• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I personally have gone through this Report and I want to seek your guidance if we should really discuss this useless Report. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: When you look at this Report you will realize that so many things happened. People appeared before the Committee and delivered information. I know the pain these The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: people were going through. You look at the recommendations and you see nothing. These people spent a lot of money. They went to Mandera and other places only to come back with a Report that does not even give a single recommendation. We are again sitting here spending taxpayers’ money to discuss a useless Report. The Committee should be asked to go back and give recommendations on what should be done. view
