• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to start by thanking my colleague, hon. Gatobu, whom I admire because he came in as an independent candidate just as Mheshimiwa Serut. It is not easy to come to this House as an independent candidate. This is a Motion about the poor children, children from poor families and who cannot afford school fees. These children are bright but because of lack of fees they cannot access education. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the establishment of a databank is for purposes of identification and I want to thank hon. Gatobu because you cannot look for funds without knowing the numbers. I support this particular Motion and I want to urge the Government that it assists the constituencies where we have bright children to establish databanks at the county levels for purposes of sourcing for funds. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The hon. Member who has just spoken before me has touched on the issues of poverty and pregnancies. The pregnancies she has spoken of touch on the children from view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the outset, I rise to oppose this Motion. I have read through this Motion and it says that the counties are going to face financial problems unless their financial base is boosted by transfer of these parastatals. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Before the Division Bell was rung, I was saying that at the outset I oppose this Motion. Reading through this Motion, it envisages a situation where if these parastatals we are talking of are transferred to the respective counties, it would boost the revenue. The Mover of this Motion did not convince us and neither did he tell the House how this was going to happen. Take for instance the Nyayo Tea Zones which were established for purposes of protection and conserving water catchments under gazetted forests in this country; they occupy a width of ... view
• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for recognizing me at last. This Motion would not have come here at a better time than now. If you do not know, we in Mount Elgon keep animals; we are livestock farmers. I know that because we are in Western Province, most people think we do not keep livestock. In fact, we do so. view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: The only way the Government can be provoked into providing services, which include water and pans and boreholes, is through a Motion on insurance like this one. Once the Government knows it has to restock animals for us in case of drought and when our animals die, it will ensure that there is enough water and pasture. The only way the Government can be provoked into providing services, which include water, pans and drilling boreholes is this Motion on insurance. Once the Government gets to know that they have to re-stock livestock in case of drought as animals die, that ... view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for cautioning that particular hon. Member. All I am saying is that the only way we can cushion livestock farmers is to ensure that there is accountability as far as their animals are concerned. The accountability will be there only if the Government also takes livestock farmers seriously, and if there will be an insurance. For that insurance to take place, the Government will have to know how many animals we are talking about. What kind of livestock are we talking about? That cannot come on a silver platter. It will come after the Government ... view
