• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Aware that the Ministry of Agriculture zero-rated the Sugar Development Levy on imported industrial sugar, which was supposed to supplement what the Kenya Sugar Board is collecting now, what is the Ministry doing to promote sugar-cane development in this country when, in actual sense, the Government is reducing the amount of money that is supposed to enhance sugar productivity? view

• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes early this year, CBK was on record as having said that there was excess inflow of money into the country to the tune of about Kshs164 billion.

• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hear you, but the Assistant Minister has confirmed that the CBK reported unidentified sources of money in the country. I am saying this could have been from this trade. Could he confirm or deny this? view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to add from where Mr. Imanyara has left. It is the saddest day for this country because this death was very well documented and a large number of people died out of gunshots. We know that most of the guns that killed the people were in the hands of security personnel. I am seeking clarification against this background.

We have not heard any concrete steps being taken to deal with people who ... view

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that as Members of Parliament, we be bold enough knowing very well that we have a role to play in this country--- (Recording hitch) Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Members of Parliament have a lot of work.

It is with great shame that this country has come this far without appreciating the need to have The Animal Technicians Bill as proposed by my friend, hon. Lekuton. It is very sad that, what this country gave as a priority is more of expenditure for consumption rather than investment. It is the role of the Government the world over, to create conducive environment, so that members of the ... view
