• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said earlier on that Nyamira North District falls under the Lake Basin Development Authority. This is a very fast developing authority and it covers a very big area. The Lake Basin Development Authority has actually established seven regional offices to cover all the areas within its jurisdiction. It is good for the hon. Member to note that Nyamira North District and Nyamira South District have got two regional offices with regional managers, staff and vehicles. One of the regional offices is based at Sondu River Basin and the other one at Kuja/Migori River Basin. ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (i) We have undertaken several demonstration farms for agro-forestry, under a project called “Sironga”. This project was started in 1981 and has been on-going. We have been producing quality bricks for quality building. Environmental conservation is also being done through the production of tree seedlings. There has also been improved rural income totaling Kshs2 million through the promotion of high quality fruit and tea seedlings. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (ii) We also have some fisheries projects, including fish ponds that are used to train farmers. There is also demonstration of poultry activities. We propose to start an upland rice project this financial year because a demonstration has been done and the climate has been found to be very good. view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the regional development activities rely heavily on Ex-chequer funding. This funding has been limited with respect to the activities the regional development authorities would like to undertake. For the Lake Basin Development Authority and in respect to Nyamira North District, besides the two ongoing projects, during this financial year, we would like to set up a rice project within the District. The climate has been found to be conducive and a demonstration has already been done. We hope that with the proposed budget, we are going to undertake that rice project within Nyamira North District. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate our men and women who have done this country proud. As my colleagues have already said, it is very important to do two things to a performer. You recognize and you reward. So, it is not just enough to recognize the medalist. It is also good to reward them. view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: 2924 Finally, I wish the Minister could consider pushing her Cabinet colleagues and other authorities to consider the issue of duo citizenship. Our athletes are running away because we do not allow duo citizenship. You saw that in the 1,500 metres, the gold medalist by the name of Gregory Konchella really wanted to come back home last year. But he could not and he is a Kenyan. You saw Mr. Lagat who was running for USA and others for Bahrain. If we allow duo citizenship for our athletes, I am sure we would have been number one in the world ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also contribute in support of this Motion on Vote 35. First of all, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister, Assistant Minister, Permanent Secretary and able technical team for a job well done in very difficult conditions. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that this Ministry deals with capabilities which are not of their own making. Talk of HIV/AIDS scourge, food shortage, floods and IDPs. These are the issues this able team in this Ministry face on day in, day ... view
