• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the horticulture industry in this country brings a lot of revenue and income and, therefore, it is a very important sector. I am surprised that this policy paper has taken so long. Could the Minister tell us how long we are going to wait? He has not specified the time frame and we know that this could be anything, even years. It may never come to this House in our lifetime. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister consider allowing the stakeholders in the industry to regulate their own policy rather than him having to write a Paper for them and take to the Cabinet? I know that this has been the cause for that Paper not coming out and assisting the farmers to move on. view

So, all this has opened up loopholes and caused siphoning ... view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am happy to take this opportunity to thank the Seconder, Mr. Oparanya, and Mr. Muturi for supporting this Bill. I am sure the reason why nobody else is willing to contribute to this Bill is because there is nothing left, other than its legislation. We do not need to repeat the obvious. It was so well done. I want to say that I am looking forward to the Committee Stage, when we will go through it clause by clause, and see whether there is anything that we need to put right. What ... view
