• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning the following Question: (i) What plans has the Cabinet Secretary put in place to ensure transfer and registration of the following parcels of land located in Kakuzi and Kirimiri locations in Murang’a County under Murang’a Land Registry currently registered in Kiambu Land Registry: Kakuzi/Kirimiri Blocks 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 belonging to Kirimiri, Muitumberia, Kamiti, Kianjugu, Mugumoini, Mutithi, Gaichanjiru and Ndiritu co-operative societies, respectively, among others? (i) Why were members of the Land Control Board in Kimiriri Division, Murang’a County, not appointed ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the chance to ask this Question to the CS for Industry, Trade and Co-operatives: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary state whether any audit has been or is being undertaken on all food processing companies in the country, including the quality assurance systems in place, in view of the recent discovery of contaminants such as aflatoxins in food samples in the market? (ii) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that quality assurance systems in all food processing companies are continuously improved and monitored to safeguard the quality of food items ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance so that I can also congratulate Hon. Mutunga for coming up with a Motion that reflects mostly what our people are doing. Allow me to wish the candidates of Maragwa Constituency and the neighbouring constituency in Murang’a County best wishes during this time that they are sitting for their exam. Those are the pupils of Class Eight and also those who are sitting for the KCSE who are Form Four candidates. view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This Motion is very important. If you look at the rural areas that we come from, agriculture forms the backbone of what makes those people place food on the table. Registration of farmers and formation of agri-business entities for improved benefits and sustainable food and nutritional security forms mostly what our people are doing. This is one of the Motions that we are requesting Hon. Members to move with speed and come up with a Bill, so that we can compel the Government to look at this sector through the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Many are the times ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: on-one understanding of the problems that our people face and they can express their interests in one voice because they are together. view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This is not only for the farmers but also the other people. Those who agitate for grievances to be looked into always come together. For example, we have trade unions for teachers, nurses, doctors and others. That is how they are heard and the challenges that they face are addressed. I, therefore, support the call for Government to support the Kenya National Farmers Federation in registration of farmers in order to empower those great people who support a big share of the economy. Kenyan farmers have lately faced existence of manipulated market and lack of clear policies which protect them. ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Registering farmers will enable small-scale farmers to have collective bargaining power. This will assist them to address their challenges such as high input prices and protection against competition from the international market. view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Most of our farmers especially in Kiambu County are involved in poultry farming. They have challenges marketing their eggs. But if they come up with a co-operative and the Government assists them to market their eggs locally and outside the country, they will make a living instead of complaining about the flooding of eggs from neighbouring countries, while we have not assisted our people to access markets. Many farmers are abandoning farming and yet, they have employed many people who do not know what to do next. view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: In the past, as much as we are talking about formation of co-operatives, they failed because most were not prepared for international trade that came with complex challenges that required updated methods of farming and marketing. So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, during legislation and formation of the agri-business entities meetings, they will discuss farming methods they can use. As much as we are talking about marketing, in some countries, they look at the quality and standards of the goods we export to them. There are some countries that say that some of our food crops have a lot of chemicals. ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Through this federation, they will get informed and information is strength. Therefore, there is need to ensure that the federation will manage the whole process of registering all Kenyan farmers so that we can do away with mismanagement that has led to the collapse of the co-operative societies that were there before. view
