• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday I said that I have to support this particular Report. The reason I was just about to advance is that looking through the Kenyan system and looking at our standards of living and looking at everything else put together, there is no good reason why Kenyans should be suffering the way we are. This is particularly in respect to perennial shortages of food, water and other necessities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to share my experience of the visit to Israel now and also in 2009. I want to relate one incident in which I met ... view

• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from 1963 people have been travelling to Israel; executives, Members of Parliament and everybody, each time they go to learn. He wanted to know from us what is so difficult to learn from Israel. What is so hard for us to appreciate; the technologies? I was there again two weeks or three weeks ago, reluctantly so and I thank Parliament for enabling that to happen. However, this time round, I had gone to check on technology. Looking at this Report and admiring the intensity of issues raised, I would wish again to refer to the ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, I would like to persuade this House to ask the Minister for Tourism to review the hotel classification system. Some of these five star hotels are actually no star hotels. They do not meet the standards of a star hotel in the world. There is no need of us telling people that we have five star hotels in the region. People with money around the world also know how to spend it. We cannot forever cheat them that we have five star hotels here. If we have five star hotels, we would be able to ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is here. I would urge him that in the next Cabinet meeting, he should tell his colleagues to consider and persuade the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to triple duty on imported luxury foodstuffs. This is because some people are importing everything that is consumable. For example, they are importing oranges, cabbages, carrots and maize, among other foodstuffs. Everything is imported although it is locally produced. The only thing they are not importing is oxygen because of God’s natural way of distributing ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that he has requested to be given more time, could he also table here a report on the increased stability and sedimentation in our waters? This is because the mess in Mt. Kenya Forest is threatening the Seven Folks Dams and increasing flooding in the swamps in the lower areas. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: With those suggestions, I beg to support. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Bill. At the first instance, I want to congratulate my friend, Dr. Monda. We sit in the same Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operative Development with him. He supports me when I say food is therapeutic. Most of the conditions can be caused by bad feeding or things that we ingest or expose ourselves to. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government was right that the Government cannot shy away from this particular battle for cancer. As a matter ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Lead stuff is now available either in used cartridges. Whose uses bullets? It is the Government itself, anyway. Again, you are exposing the masses to a big hazard from this heavy metal called lead. So, the Government cannot shy away from this. What I would really call for is cleaning up your table after dinning because they have done this mess. We have watched them. We have looked at them. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you look at the same Government, particularly the Executive, for that matter, and you start talking about things like aflatoxin, they take it as if ... view
