• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: The Minister is a Minister in a coalition Government that gave him real power. All those powers to do with land were donated to him by the Right Honourable Prime Minister. Anything to do with land is not with anybody else but with this Minister. Having said that, he sanctions land boards and any land transaction in the said farm is done through the land board. Outside of this, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that the Delamere Estate exists and has been there since 1910, and that their workers; hundreds of them, have been buried in the ... view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to mislead the House that the contracts for Kirinyaga Construction Company have been terminated yet there is a court ruling which barred him from interfering with that? The facts, which are in the public domain, are that they varied terms of those contracts have been issued and they have no business interfering at this particular time! view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister for Agriculture is avoiding issues. There are 523,000 families. The problem was specific. They said that they needed ploughing and they also knew they had loans which they had borrowed. So, it would be important to say that when you take your tractors there, you are also compensated. It is not a question of putting the matter in the Budget. view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: I stand corrected, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Proceed, Mr. Assistant Minister! view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Minister in his wonderful selection of the Board. But there was a big omission on his part to avoid naming a disabled person as a member of the Board. I come from Naivasha and I have seen how on the great highway many people, including professors, have become disabled as a result of road accidents. Disability is not something that is inherent, but something we acquire very fast, especially through road accidents. I have seen footages on television; a particular case was in Central Province, where children were being chained to trees ... view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for noticing me. I have been trying to catch your eye for sometime. I also realise that I need to visit our gymnasium so that I am fit enough to shoot up in good time. I am particularly impressed because I can see the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs here. However, before I proceed, I would like to thank the people of Naivasha for electing me. The people of Naivasha elected me after making three attempts that were all bogged down. However, I am really happy that they elected me. I want ... view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are some of the rules that our farmers had to live with. That is even not outrageous. If you consider that those who lived in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme, once you attain the age of 18, you are supposed to vacate. Those are part of the draconian rules that were set by the people who developed the irrigation scheme. We also know that under the same rules, like in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme, they do not allow the exploitation of other by-products of the rice industry. The poor farmer is left exploited and suffering. ... view
