• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Assistant Minister has given a satisfactory answer, I am not fully convinced. On the issue of Alice Nyamanga Sasati, I talked to her father and he is ready and willing to have his daughter brought back to the country. There is no way that she can refuse to leave Beirut. I would request the Assistant Minister, if he is sincere about what he has said, to contact the father of Alice Nyamanga Sasati, so that he can know the truth of the matter. That girl is still in Beirut and she was sold for US$3,000 ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious Question! It does not only affect Nyakach Constituency, but many constituencies, including Molo. I would like the Assistant Minister to state how much funds they have set aside for the rehabilitation of Mau Forest this financial year. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this Bill, I do not have much to celebrate in my constituency because all the forests have been destroyed. There is virtually nothing left. Rivers that used to flow from Mau Forest have dried up. These are Molo, Njoro and Bagaria. These rivers used to drain into Lake Nakuru. It is a pity that the southern part of Molo is turning into a semi arid. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this Bill, I wonder where we will get committed people to preserve our environment. We want people like hon. Michuki and hon. Wangari Maathai who have relentlessly protected our environment. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there were plans to settle the Ogiek community in Mau Forest. However, some land grabbers during the previous regime allocated themselves a large chunk of Mau Forest and messed up the environment. This community was displaced. They are now roaming all over the country fighting for their rights, but nobody is willing to assist them. I urge the Government ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that employees of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya are currently on strike due to non-payment of their salaries amounting to Ksh24 million? (b) Why have pyrethrum farmers in Molo and Kuresoi, Nakuru County, also not been paid over Kshs52 million for pyrethrum delivered to the Board? (c) What measures will the Ministry take to ensure that the workers’ salaries are paid and farmers paid for the crop delivered? view

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, pyrethrum farmers from Molo, Kuresoi and the neighbouring district have suffered a lot. The farmers delivered their produce to the Board, and the Board sold their produce to its respective customers. However, the Board is not paying them their dues. What is the Ministry doing to force the Board to pay the farmers their dues? The farmers have already delivered their produce to the Board but it is not paying them. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House by saying that his Ministry is paying farmers on time, yet there are poor farmers who delivered their produce last April, who have not been paid? Is he in order to mislead the House by purporting that they pay pyrethrum farmers promptly? view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not fully convinced by the answer the Assistant Minister has given this House. This is because as I am talking right now, these employees of the Board are still on strike. They have called me this morning and told me that they have not yet been paid their salaries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like your indulgence and advice on whether what the Assistant Minister has said is true. We should go to the ground and verify that these employees of the Board have not yet been paid. view
