• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the reasons why I am supporting this Motion is that we want, first and foremost, the Ministers of this Government to visit the countryside and see the problems that Kenyans are facing. For the last one year, we have not seen majority of those Ministers visiting the countryside to see the suffering of the people. Each Minister, especially Ministers who are holding the portfolios of water, health, roads and education, should visit the people in each district to find out the problems affecting them. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other reason why I think it is important that this House should go on recess is because we want the Government to resolve the issues of IDPs and Mau Forest, once and for all. It is very, very important because those are the issues which have been "following" this Government ever since it was formed! It is important that those two critical issues are resolved during this recess. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would also like to see Government Ministers visiting Government institutions. Some of the Government institutions are an eyesore! If you visited the reception area of Kenyatta National Hospital today, you will not be very happy. It is important that we reign in the people who are in charge of those institutions. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of drought has really got into the nerve centre of this country - Ukambani, Kajiado and North Eastern. In Kajiado alone, the people who deserve to receive relief food are in the region of 70 per cent. It is important for the Minister of State for Special Programmes to get out of Nairobi and visit the ground in order to see the suffering of the people! You only see these Ministers talking in the Headquarters in the City of Nairobi! We want these Ministers to go to the countryside and really see how ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On the issue of the Nairobi Metropolis, the Maa Community have refused the boundaries of the Nairobi Metropolis to go beyond Kiserian and Kitengela. The Minister in charge of Nairobi Metropolis should, first and foremost, issue instructions to clean Nairobi! The garbage collection--- Instead of expanding the metropolis, we need to, first of all, clean this Nairobi City! view

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: That is because, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even the greater London Metropolis does not go beyond 200 kilometres! So, he should concentrate on the small, already developed urban centres like Ngong, Kiserian, Limuru and Thika, which are already within that distance. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: First and foremost, he should rein in on the Nairobi City Council (NCC) to clean the city instead of expanding it. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fourth point is the issue of the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC). Livestock farmers have taken AFC loans and because of the loss of their livestock, they are not able to repay them. It is high time the Government of the Republic of Kenya looked into ways of writing off these loans because the farmers are not able to repay them. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The other issue is with regard to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). We revived the KMC about two to three years ago. That institution requires to be investigated. The Government has given it a lot of money but we do not see how it is being spent. Farmers take their livestock to sell at the KMC and it takes weeks for them to be paid and yet the Government has injected money into KMC. So, it is very important that investigations are carried out on KMC. view
