• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am sure following your reaction, you heard the MP for Gem refer to Hon. (Dr.) Pukose as having collected Kshs10,000. Apart from that being insinuating improper motive on another Member, it is a serious matter because at the moment this House is struggling with image issues. This is a matter that we should not joke about. Members have trivialised this matter of bribery too much and it is not a simple matter. It is a matter that can bring this House down. It is a matter that has tainted the image of this House. I think ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Elisha is a very good friend of mine. The person who has had issues with him is the Leader of the Majority Party but I know he is a very competent Member, contrary to what the Leader of the Majority Party thinks. He is a very sharp and intelligent man. I know he will simply withdraw, apologise and leave it at that. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: It is a very destructive joke. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to be associated with this Motion, which is moved by my friend, Hon. Ben Owen Baya. First, I congratulate him for bringing a Motion that is of huge importance to his people. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. Hon. Owen Baya has brought a Motion that is of great importance to his people. We are elected to this House as people’s representatives to resolve issues that are of concern to them. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: From the outset, I would like to further mention that this Motion actually was sponsored by the Minority Party. I signed it so that it could take precedence. That is why it has come very quickly on the Order Paper. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We are much aware that the Coast region is one of the regions in the country that have high incidences of poverty. The poverty index is very high. A Government that is responsive enough will look at such regions and identify opportunities that would be exploited for development of such regions and to uplift the economic wellbeing of the people of such a region. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Coconut is such a major crop at the Coast and we all know that. I also agree with Hon. Owen Baya that the tree has the capacity and potential to produce several products which would go a long way in bringing the much-needed income to the pockets of the coconut farmers. What is worrying is that Kenya Government, more particularly the ministries concerned, namely, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries in conjunction with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, are sleeping on the job. They are sleeping on the job because they are not innovative enough. They are not ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Our coconut is sold to Tanzania for further processing at throwaway prices. Tanzania is not such an advanced country compared to Kenya. We are more advanced than Tanzania, but we sell coconut to Tanzania at throwaway prices and the Tanzanians take advantage of value addition, something which we could do here, thereby denying Kenyans the much-needed employment opportunities. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In the spirit of the Big Four Agenda, manufacturing and job creation are very prominent. It is important that the ministries concerned take up this matter seriously so that it becomes a core component of the Big Four Agenda in terms of promoting coconut processing so as to enable us compete with countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, as Hon. Baya mentioned. view
