• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first, I should thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee for bringing the Statement, though after a long time. At the same time, I would like to say that even as we wait for the Cabinet Secretaries to come here and respond to Statement requests, Statement requests in future should be taken more seriously. We should be getting the reports in advance. view
• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, I appreciate what the Chair has said in his response that an awareness campaign has been conducted in several counties. However, I would like to say that the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries must change the way they do these things. I can testify here that this report must have been in hotels, and not in the field. In my constituency, where the disease has really spread, there has not been any field day to sensitize farmers on the same. So, whereas the Chair has responded very well, the Ministry should do more in ensuring that more resources ... view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want us to put it on record that the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, and the county governments, have not taken this problem seriously. Most of the maize farmers are running into losses. I am not sure if they are going to continue growing maize. Right now, most of the farmers, including me, have moved away from growing maize. We are now growing other crops, including wheat. This is going to affect the food security of this country. Whereas the Government The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Mediation Committee Report. Initially, I had supported it with amendments and already, we had prepared some amendments if at all it could have gone to the Third Reading. But now that it has come back with the amendments where the wards and sub-county boards are now removed, it is now a good forum especially for discussion on development issues and any other issues which affect our people in the county. One of the key challenges of devolution is the failure to implement it in the right manner. That is ... view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: with duplication by sheer luck; that is, if we had good relations with the county executives and, probably, the governors and MCAs. Otherwise, it has been very difficult. We get most of the information informally. Therefore, this Report is very timely. We support the amendments which have been done in the Bill and brought here by the Mediation Committee. You realize that the Constituencies Development Fund is an intervention measure which supplements what the national Government and county governments are doing and, therefore, it is important that we really get information, sit together, and work together in the spirit of ... view
