• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also hope that as we go for recess, I will be able to host the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife, Dr. Wekesa, to come and see what we have done in Embobut Forest; namely, persuading people, removing them from forests and now, they are in 16 holding grounds. I also hope that we will be able to use this recess to resettle the people in Embobut who have willingly moved out of the forest before the El-Nino rains come. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of hunger, especially from the Arid and Semi- Arid Lands (ASALS) communities and we have seen people dying. So, I really appreciate this recess so that we can go and update ourselves on the situation to avoid people dying because of hunger. Considering that hon. Members seem to do more than what the Provincial Administration could be doing – checking on what is happening in people’s lives, it has to be us and I think it is high time that we go on recess. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to use this opportunity on the Floor of the House to call on my community, the pastoralists; I come from a pastoralist community where we have been killing each other because of animals – because of cows that look like goats! When I remember the Samburu West killings, I want to send my condolences to the Samburu people and call on the Pokot, Samburu, Marakwet and Turkana that it is high time they changed their way of life. I also hope that this opportunity, before we go on recess, that hon. Members of the ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also hope that with what we have just seen happening in Samburu, the police and the Provincial Administration will be facilitated enough. Sometimes, we blame the security officers but sometimes, you find District Officers who have to walk 200 kilometers to go and see to a situation. What is happening in the pastoralist areas is fire fighting, where the Government arrives when people have died. What is happening? I really hope that we will be able to stop such things from happening; may this be the last one in the pastoralist communities. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with these few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to ask a question. I do not see the issue of Mr. Ringera in the Order Paper. Could I be having the wrong Order Paper? Why are we debating something that has been done? He had been appointed and this is about reappointment and there is space for reappointment or not and the President has decided to reappoint him. We are here to debate the Motion for adjournment. If people do not have issues in their constituencies--- Some of us come from constituencies where there is hunger and we need to go and ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has taken my time and he had no point of order! view

• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (b) Kirinyaga District Co-operative Union closed its doors to customers in February, 2009, making it impossible for farmers to access their funds due to panic withdrawal of deposits from its union banking section facilities in its seven branches namely; Kerugoya, Kagumo, Kiangai, Kibirigwi, Kianyaga, Karumandi and Kiamatugu. The panic withdrawal was triggered by a fraud of Kshs1.3 million on a customer’s account. (b)The Ministry has advised and recommended to the union to carry out an investigative audit, restructure itself and shed off the loss making activities to make it economically viable. view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, an inspection was done before this Question was asked. Our Ministry did inspection on 12th May, 2008. After the inspection, there was an inquiry in January, 2009. An inspection is normally done to find out how co-operative societies are operating. During that time, they noticed that there was some malpractice and Kirinyaga Co-operative Union Bank was closed. Our Ministry advised our members to do investigations privately, so that we could confirm the findings of the auditors. On the issue of bailing out the bank, the management had a meeting in January this year. They agreed to ... view
