• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: enough food, pour milk to the drainage? How can a country that is going hungry pour milk to the drainage? This was a very sad moment, especially for those of us who are from the farming communities. We have seen crops failure in the last few years and we thought that milk was going to be preserved because when the rains came, it was impossible to grow any crops. It was encouraging to hear the President encouraging the Ministry of State for Special Programmes to include powdered milk in its programmes. Mid-last year, the Chairman of the New Kenya Co-operative ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important that farmers are also recognized as an entity that is stabilizing the country politically, economically and socially. This is because without food, you cannot have anything. But until we recognize our farmers as an entity that stabilizes the country rather than looking at them as businessmen, we will not be able to move far. I think the Ministry of Livestock Development should be encouraged to ensure that they have a clear plan through which the farmers are recognized. They need to be given subsidies. The turnaround that a country called Malawi ... view

• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add onto the voices of others in congratulating the Minister for bringing a land policy at this time.

• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion which is timely. I congratulate the Ministry for coming up with this policy that takes care of older persons and the ageing. I really like reading the issues that are being addressed by this policy. This policy says that it will facilitate the enjoyment of quality life before and during old age. The other aspect that really attracted my attention was that it will ensure that older people will have access to safe, durable and affordable shelter. This is excellent. We have changed our ... view
