• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the one million bags situation has been made worse now with the opening of Southern Sudan. That has opened up a market for a further 15 million people to be fed, up and above the 38 million people. Whether we want it or not, that will affect the demand and supply and push our domestic prices of maize to a level which is not affordable to most Kenyans. That is why we need this innovative idea to produce that maize. In conclusion, it has already been officially announced that we will have long rains all ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: There is very high consultation, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view

• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter! You have heard the Assistant Minister admit severally that the maize is rotten. Indeed, the documents that he has tabled show that the maize is rotten. Am I in order, therefore, to ask the Assistant Minister to go and withdraw all the food that he is talking about because the report he has tabled shows that the maize is rotten? view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives visited Mombasa and sampled some maize in one of the ships that are contentious. This maize is a replica of the maize we saw in Mombasa which was suspected not only to be GMO but also to have come in illegally because it did not have any marking! Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House that this maize is locally-grown and if so, who supplied it to the NCPB? view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know for a fact that you have ruled many times that a committee does not require your express authority to investigate matters that are within their domain. Listening to the Assistant Minister, it is clear that there are so many gross anomalies in the way Kenyans have been handled in Saudi Arabia and in other parts of the world. Am I, therefore, in order to request that this matter be referred to the relevant departmental committee on labour, so that it can be looked into fully? view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was on a point of order and I was inviting you to make a ruling. I know you have said a dozen times that a departmental committee does not have to rely on you to give specific direction, but listening to the allegations and matters canvassed here this--- view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Information and Communications:- (a) whether he could provide a breakdown of Government expenditure on advertisements in each media house per year and cumulatively from 2005 to date; (b) whether he could provide the list of top 20 Ministries in spending in each of the media entities in descending order; and, (c) whether he could also table all the contracts that were used in procuring those advertisements and/or promotions. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the outset and, indeed, from the answer the Assistant Minister has given, he has said that he has no capacity to answer the Question. Is he in order to continue answering it instead of referring it to the Prime Minister’s Office straightaway so that we can wait for the answer from the Prime Minister? That is the same reason which made us defer this Question last week. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, part “c” of the Question specifically asked: “Could the Minister also table all the contracts that were used in procuring those advertisements and/or promotions?” The Assistant Minister’s response is that he is not in charge of all the Ministries and, indeed, is not in a position to table any of the contracts, including those of his own Ministry. That shows that he is not willing or he is avoiding to answer this Question. Will I be in order, therefore, to request that the matter be referred to the Prime Minister, so that he asks all Ministries, including ... view
