• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to support my friend, Mhe Lelelit, for bringing this Bill. I know it is long overdue and I do understand that a good number of Kenyans are going through challenges everyday. I do support hon. Lelelit for stating in this Bill that money should go directly to our constituencies from the national Government. This is because in the constituencies, we have seen success stories of our CDF, which we have used to pay school fees, build classrooms, equip our hospitals, do electrification of our areas and construct roads. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to appreciate the fact that some of us are marginalized and request the CRA to probably define the word “marginalization”. This is because, we have been condemned by some of our colleagues, that because we have produced a president, we have no problems. I want to invite most of our friends to come to our areas, and see some of the challenges that we are facing in Kericho and Bomet, where we also have some areas which cannot access some of the very basic facilities. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I support my friend Lelelit, because once this Bill has gone through, in most of those marginalized areas, our people are going to access some of the basic necessities. I want to also appreciate the framers of our Constitution because they prescribed what this Equalisation Fund is supposed to do. It is supposed to provide basic services such as water, roads, health facilities, electricity and other basic things. I support it and encourage most of us to be around and vote for this Constitutional Bill. I want to urge our friends who come from those marginalized areas, to talk to ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I also want to wish my colleagues a happy new year and a really fruitful engagement during this particular Session. I wish to support hon. Rop in his sentiments. That is because we have pressed the button on several occasions but, unfortunately, we have not been recognized. Fortunately, now is the first time I am being recognized by you. This is the first time you are giving me an opportunity to speak since I came to Parliament! view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have spoken before; it is not a Maiden Speech. It is maiden on your side. Thank you, hon. Speaker. I support this Motion. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion as amended by hon. Muhia, and as introduced by hon. Kimaru Bett. I must appreciate that this Motion has come at the right time. I must also appreciate that, sometimes back, our farmers used to take their children to school and pay school fees in time. We also used to see young people get employment everywhere. Unfortunately, there is a problem somewhere now. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It is a fact that milk production is a major source of income for many small-scale farmers. In Bureti Constituency which I represent, most of the farmers depend on milk. They also depend on tea. Unfortunately, when tea started--- view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the proposed amendment. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I appreciate the fact that milk farmers have some few challenges. They have told me that they need a market so that they can market their produce well. They have also told me that the current price of Kshs29 to Kshs32 per litre is very low going by what they used in the form of input. We are supposed to support those farmers so that they can market their produce very well. We are also supposed to improve Artificial Insemination (AI) services so that we can improve on the breeds. That way, we can also improve milk production. We are ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In my constituency, there is a micro-finance company called Cherop. For a very long time, they have been trying to do something small. Unfortunately, because of mismanagement and what have you, it has gone under. But I know that it will be revived. We are also supposed to do something on value addition so that we can encourage our farmers to add value to their milk so that they can be paid higher prices. We should also enable farmers to be educated because we all understand that knowledge is power. That has to do with record-keeping. We are supposed to ... view
