• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Going by the answers that the Assistant Minister is trying to give, it is evident that there is a problem here. Would I be in order to request that this matter be referred to the relevant parliamentary Committee to address this issue exhaustively, because it appears that he is not ready to give the proper answers? view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week on the same day, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government on the ongoing haphazard selective transfers that have rocked Narok County Council. It was ruled that it will come up today and the Minister was here a while ago. view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government on the current sudden transfers taking place in Narok County Council. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday, 22nd November, 2011, I raised a Question in this House related to revenue collection by Equity Bank to Narok County Council. As a result of this Question, the chief officers of Narok County Council have resorted into intimidating junior officers. As I stand here now, they have started transferring them arbitrarily. This has raised a lot of concern. view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: In the Statement, I would like the Minister to clarify what necessitated these sudden transfers. He should also indicate the ranks and stations of the affected officers. Further, he should clarify whether the quick action by the chief officers of the county council will not, in any way, prejudice the work of the House Committee. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view

• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was seconding this very important Motion after it was moved. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has already been stated why this Motion is before this House. It was as a result of the Select Committee of this House moving around the country and interacting with the farmers on the cost of living found it necessary to sponsor this Motion. One of the issues which came up was the issue of AFC and the farmer’s loans. The Motion is very clear that as at now, the loans that owed to AFC by the farmers amounts to a total of about Kshs4.48 billion. The bad loans, according to AFC are about ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been said, and it is very true that AFC is a very important Government agency. It is one of the very important agencies that really assists farmers out there, both crop and livestock farmers, to access these loans. However, one of the main reasons that the farmers were not able to service their loans on time is because of the prolonged drought for the last three years. As a result of this, farmers have not been able to service their loans. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the problem of climatic change is one of the factors that have really contributed to farmers not being able to service these loans. The erratic weather changes have far reaching effect on our livestock. Even the Meteorological Department is not able to predict the weather patterns in this country. As it is now, you are seeing that the rains have come even a bit too early than expected. This has disorganized the farmers. So, all these factors combined have made it impossible for them to service these loans. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: We are really sympathizing with AFC. That is why we are asking this Government to save this very important agency from collapsing. They can do so by pumping in a lot of money. This is the only way they can salvage it. There are other problems associated with this recovery of loans with the AFC. Farmers are really harassed by the AFC. The AFC used archaic way of recovering their money. Farmers are harassed and some time they even seize their property to recover their money. This defeats the very purpose why AFC was set up. It was established to ... view
