28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very sad because, from what the Assistant Minister has said, it is clear that the Government is not committed to addressing the plight of farmers. This is the harvesting season when there is plenty of maize. Surprisingly, a report was released recently by the Government to the effect that there will be a food crisis next year although it is not taking any action. So far, so good; if you talk to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), they will tell you that they have not received any communication from the Government over ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, honestly I want to say that I am not satisfied with the answer given by the Government side. For your information, I have been whispered to by the Minister that he has two answers to this Question; one by the Permanent Secretary stating that the official price is Kshs1, 500 and then another price is Kshs1, 800. These are issues that are going to put the life of farmers in a quagmire.

I seek the indulgence of the House that this issue of food security in the country, perhaps, be handled by the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co- operatives, so that we can have concrete issues and a way forward on how the Government is going to arrest the food crisis that is looming next year.

Bw. Naibu Spika wa Mda, inasikitisha sana kwamba wakulima wamepewa kisogo na Serikali. Kwa sasa, wakulima wanafanya kilimo-biashara â siyo kilimo cha kuzalisha chakula peke yake â lakini inasikitisha kwamba Serikali imepunguza bei ya mahindi kutoka Kshs2,500 kwa gunia la kilo 90 mwaka uliopita mpaka Kshs1,500 hivi sasa. Waziri Msaidizi, afua ni mbili: Utangaze kwamba mtaongeza bei ifike Kshs2,500 kwa gunia ama ninakupatia ilani kwamba sisi, kama Wabunge, tutaitisha maandamano ya wakulima katika taifa la Kenya; watasusia kupeana mahindi yao kwa Serikali. Tayari Serikali imetangaza kwamba mwako ujao kutakuwa na---

Kwa hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Hatujatosheka na majibu ambayo Waziri Msaidizi ametupatia kuhusu Swala hili la nafaka. Tungependa, kupitia kwako Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, kuomba kwamba tunahitaji wakati mwafaka ili Waziri Mkuu apewe nafasi atupatie majibu kwa mapana na marefu na kwa kina ili tuweze kutatua kitendawili hiki.

5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the expectations of the people in this country with the passage of the Constitution were rated to be highest in terms of optimism. However, we are experiencing now misunderstanding from political parties and leaders in this country. Those of us who opposed the passage of the Constitution want to say that we join the rest of Kenyans to implement the Constitution for the betterment of every person in this country. Many people expect a lot. We expect many things in this Constitution. On the issue of land, we expect the Committee to work round the clock to ...

29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is to request the Right hon. Prime Minister to organize a workshop for Members of Parliament so that they can be taken through the Constitution. Many issues that Members are raising here are in the Constitution. It seems they are very reluctant to read the Constitution. When you talk about the taxes imposed on dogs, it is in the Constitution. However, the Member of Parliament who spoke here is not aware. Taxation on land and all these things are there in the Constitution. So when Members of Parliament raise issues which are in the Constitution, then ...
