• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing the following Question by Private Notice. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: (a) Is the Minister aware that assets belonging to the Kenya Planters’ Co- operative Union (KPCU) are set to be auctioned soon? (b) What plans does the Government have to save KPCU, which belongs mainly to small-scale coffee farmers all over Kenya? view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for the answer that the Minister has given which shows temporary measures or mere fire-fighting. We all know that some very wealthy businessmen in this town owe the KPCU a lot of money, probably more than it owes its debtors.

• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate the Mover of this Bill. Better regulation is, indeed, called for in the manufacture, advertisement and sale of alcohol. That is what is being provided for here. This Bill is so good because it focuses on the health and awareness of the consumer. It also protects our young and, indeed, all the consumers. It provides for rehabilitation of people adversely affected by alcohol. This Bill will help not only all Kenyans, but especially the boy-child in the Mt. Kenya area who is threatened by alcohol, to the extent that the next ... view
