• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: He allowed importation of excess sugar via a Gazette Notice. Hon. Speaker, if you want to help the House, please, debate, this idea of shouting before I even mention what I want to say is wrong. You cannot intimidate and blackmail me. I am a senior Member. I understand what I can say. So, Gazette Notice No.4536 allowed anybody to import sugar up to 31st August. It is clear from this Report that after 31st August 2017, there was still shortage of sugar in the country. That is in this Report. I will read. Just listen I read: “Millers, under ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, many of the Members who were agitated when I was contributing to the amendment have left. Now I can be heard properly. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I am contributing to the main Report. Again, I am agonising because chances are that we may throw the baby with the bath water. This is because the Committee was given a responsibility. With all due respect to my friend, Hon. Kanini Kega, who chaired the Committee and I know his capability very well, I am shocked the Report, important as it is, has a lot of gaps. That is my main concern. Why was it necessary for the Joint Committee to carry out this investigation? It was because on 13th June 2018, the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: expected explicit names of those companies, traders, wholesalers and the directors. I know the Chair will talk about annex.

If it is there, why ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: There is this point that I raised. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: What point of order? You will respond to me when you are replying. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Chair has an opportunity to reply. He will tell me if I was wrong. If he has that list, he will tell us where it is found. Let me go back quickly to this issue of the recommendation on investigation of the Cabinet Secretaries. Hon. Duale has repeated what I said on Willy Bett. If you wanted former Cabinet Secretary to be investigated, you should have given him a chance to appear before you to defend himself. Let me go back to Rotich again. I mentioned that I have issues with Rotich but on this one, I have no ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: First, according to this Report, he was advised that there was still a sugar shortage. I did not do this Report; it is the Committee. He was advised that there was still a shortage. That is why he varied the termination of the gazetted period to December. Later, he was again advised by the relevant Ministry that there was enough sugar. He did the right thing and reduced the period to October. What mistake did Rotich make? I have been asking myself this: If I want to sacrifice this Rotich, on what basis will I do it? If I were ... view
