• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Eng. Maina most sincerely for moving this Motion at this appropriate time. The Bill that will arise from this Motion should not worry the Government. It will just be telling the Government to do its job. The Government must do what it has been elected to do. The writing is on the wall: "This House is for the welfare of society and just Government of men." This Government is doing some winchy-winchy economics. They wake up one morning and decide to increase the price of maize from Kshs1,300 per bag to ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: I am on the Motion, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am saying that this Government cannot regulate, and I stand corrected. It cannot regulate and put in place measures to reduce prices in our supermarkets. It cannot regulate the sugar cartels. It cannot regulate the maize millers. It cannot regulate the policemen who stop our Kinangop farmers from delivering vegetables. So, Kenyans feed on vegetables from sewer lines. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seconding this Motion with a bleeding heart. I am seconding this Motion believing that this Government will wake up from its slumber, regulate and ... view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect hon. Members of Parliament particularly professors but the level of argument Prof. Olweny is advancing is not accurate.

• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Biotechnology is not new in this country. In fact, it has been part of our own customs. The mursik, that beautiful milk from Kipsigis land is based on the concept that if we introduce carbon to milk and ferment it, the pathogens will be attracted to the carbon and no mursik is known to cause any illness. That is biotechnology. Biotechnology has been used extensively even in Ukambani. We know the root systems in a lemon are much more advanced and so by cutting a shoot from a lemon and introducing an orange, that ... view

• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Everybody is waiting. But I want to wind up by saying that, at Committee Stage, the Minister, a lady whom I respect immensely, should accommodate all these views. She should really study other things, including that study on mice that are not reproducing any more. That is because I want to see my great grandchildren benefit from maize studies. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with that basic understanding that all these fundamental changes will be incorporated in the Bill, then we can advance to another stage. But if the doors are locked, you should allow us ... view

• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member implying that those hon. Members who are opposing the Bill are doing it because they want to join the noisemakers of the civil society and other places? view
