• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the spirit of the Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Authority Bill is extracted from 151 Acts of Parliament and 331 subsidiary legislation on matters that touch on agriculture. You have one shop that will do all that, that was put in very many words. I do not want to belabour so much in terms of the constitutionality of these Bills. The Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) is an organization that I would really trust. They participated in a meeting with us in Mombasa for a whole week and we went through these ... view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: The Members are asking for something which is affordable, but which is too expensive to do now. They missed a chance to come and put their case before the Committee where we could thrash out all these things and explain on a give-and-take system. They are asking for maybe a morning or an afternoon so that they can be explained to. If you look through the suggestions by the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC), over 30 farmers’ organizations, some of the most professional organizations like the Kenya Veterinary Association and several stakeholders, all of them agree that we need ... view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would really urge the Members to realize that in as much as we are very enthusiastic about the devolved governments, Kenya has made several agreements with international bodies.

The interdependence can only be expressed in legal terms. There must be a link legally through the policies. The use of a policy terminates at a point when you do a law. A policy translates into a law and then that is effected. If the policies have been drawn by the national Government--- view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no doubt in my mind that I support that position but if you look at the functions of the national Government - I would just flip through so that I can read to you what the national Government is supposed to do with respect to agriculture - among other things and which my friend has already alluded to is a policy development. Once you do the promises, then you are supposed to have that skeleton law – what you call the frame so that now all these other subsidiary regulations and other regulations ... view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before you challenge me on this particular aspect, our concern as a committee was heavily drawn by international conventions that Kenya had signed. Kenya is a sovereign State that is constitutional and Kenya did not view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am looking at the national Government functions and I am on page 1 – General Principles of Land Planning and the Co-ordination of Planning by the Counties. Clause 22 is on protection of the environment and the natural resources with a view to establishing a durable and sustainable system of development including, in particular, fishing, hunting and gathering. (b) Protection of animals and wildlife. view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are the regulations that are in ALLFA. You cannot carry out these functions if you do not have ALLFA and that is all we are saying. I would challenge my friends here to show me what is outside the purview or the domain of those provisions for the national Government that have been included in the national Government. view
