• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute. The Cherangany Forest that people talk about is not actually in Cherangany Constituency. Three-quarters of it is in my constituency and as we debate this Motion, as much as I support it, I would like to know what the Government will do with the people who are living in that forest. This is a forest which the same Government gave out some portions called gled(?) to the July 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2015 people of Marakwet East Constituency to live on, since they have been suffering since ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not want to be misunderstood in this House that I sit on the Government side and I do not support Government Motions. I support this Motion, but I would like to put it on record that God placed people in areas within catchment areas, like the way He placed my people in Marakwet East Constituency. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the impression that I want to give here is that I support this Motion, but I would like the people to be resettled and, more so, the ones that were ... view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society is moribund. I am also not aware of the society by the name Lokichoggio Livestock Marketing Society. (b) The performance of the Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society has been on a decline due to poor management, inadequate and inappropriate fishing gear, inadequate cold storage facilities on the landing beaches, general lack of skilled and experienced manpower, lack of designated and organized market for fish, poor road network and exploitation by fish traders and other middlemen. To address the problems facing the Turkana Fishermen Co-operative ... view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Ethuro should have included what he has said in the 1756 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 10, 2008 Question; that the last the time the society held elections was 2005. But by saying the society is moribund, it means it is not in operation, but the structures are still there. In the last answer which the Member has, we said that we have prepared a proposal of Kshs96 million for the rehabilitation of the society. Secondly, he talked about co-operative officers and mismanagement. The Ministry of Co-operative Development does not have teeth over mismanagement of co-operative societies. Hopefully, ... view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, myself and hon. J. Nyagah took over the Ministry just three months ago. But we will fast-track this proposal which was prepared before we took over the office. Definitely, this is our priority. We will follow it and, of course, we will seek for funds from the Treasury. We will also follow it up with other development partners whom we gave the proposal to. view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the President's Speech. Before I start, I would like to thank the people of Marakwet East Constituency for electing me for the second time and showing confidence that I am able to take care of their resources despite the great persuasion by the ODM luminaries and their supporters. I am grateful to my constituents. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the President talked about amending the Armed Forces Act so that people from the National Youth Service (NYS) can be recruited into the Kenya Armed Forces. However, people from Marakwet ... view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: We can come up with proposals to use that money considering that any money that is in the purse of a woman goes to her home. It is not so for men because when they get that money, it has many other routes before it reaches the house in the evening. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 22 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that those people were criminals. As an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security, how could he allow criminals to be at large and roam our streets? Why did he not have them arrested if they were criminals and retain them in prisons? view
• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) when the Ministry will construct a sugar factory in Kerio Valley of Marakwet District, considering that trials undertaken in the year 2005/2006 indicated that the area is good for sugar-cane growing; and, (b) what the estimated cost of constructing the factory is. view
• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister say that as soon as a willing investor is identified, they will come. In this country sugar consumers are deducted 7 per cent levy and that money is collected by the Sugar Levy Development Authority. That money that is collected is enough to start a medium sized factory. Last year, Mumias Sugar Company, which is under the Ministry of Agriculture, tried to force itself to invest in the sugar industry in Tana River and the people of Tana River refused. How can he say that they have not identified an investor? ... view
