• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that he is right. We should have already handled it, but there was an issue in the Committee which was sorted out today. The first sitting will be next week. Therefore, we are requesting for two weeks from now in order to exhaustively deal with this. Thank you. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. I also want to thank you for giving a directive yesterday afternoon that this Statement be issued today, having failed to be delivered in the last three weeks. I asked three questions. The first one was with regard to the food shortage in West Pokot County, but the Vice Chairman has gone into interesting details about the levels of food consumption and malnutrition. That is not what I asked. I asked whether the Chairman is aware that there is an acute ... view

• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way the Vice Chairman has responded shows a sorry state of affairs regarding how we handle agriculture in Kenya.

This is 24 per cent of the amount of money that is supposed to be used to purchase fertilizers for all farmers in Kenya. ... view

It means this answer was written this morning because from the statement, it is confirmed that some fertilizers were received yesterday. May I know why NPK was procured yet we need DAP? We have not been informed when the DAP will be available. Since some fertilizer was received yesterday, what miraculous means will the Ministry use to transport it overnight to reach the stores? The Vice Chairman talked about a distribution table which I have read through. If you look on page 8, there is only one depot at Kapenguria in ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are right. In future, the Ministry needs to separate funds for pending bills and money strictly meant for fertilizer for a particular financial year. I just read a few minutes ago that the fertilizer plant launched by the Deputy President ten months ago was put on hold yesterday by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), a Government Department. What is wrong with this other arm of Government coming to disable projects--- view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to seek for a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding the failure by county governments to pay for goods supplied and services rendered to them by suppliers and contractors. In the statement, the Chairperson should explain whether he is aware that:- (a) Since 2013, many Kenyans who tendered and won tenders to supply goods and services to county governments took loans from commercial banks at high interest rates in order to deliver the goods and services while hoping to repay the ... view
