• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendment Bill which has been brought by my colleague, Hon. Wamunyinyi. The reason I support is because I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. We have discussed the sugar industry for a long time. The sugar industry has cartels which import sugar into the country. Even managers of the sugar factories also have cartels and know what they do. The people who suffer are the ordinary small-scale farmers who grow the sugarcane. It stays long in the farms before it is taken to ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We thank our Government because it has done a good job in supporting the sugar industry and farmers by providing fertilizer. The Government should help the ordinary farmer who tries to get daily bread from farming. It is not the sugar industry alone. Even the coffee and dairy industries suffer. We have not seen the Government put effort in them. Agriculture is the pillar of this Government. If the farmers do not farm, we will not go anywhere. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: These days, we see that when we sell our coffee outside the country, it is number one but, people are no longer growing coffee. They are opting for real estate. Soon we will not have any cash crop to sell outside the country. We should sit with the Government and think of a way forward to help farmers to see the need to grow maize or tea. In tea growing areas, we have small plots of land so we buy maize to eat. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We want to look at all sectors and the Government should help us. If we help farmers in this country, Kenya will progress.

• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: know what we are going to do about them. The managers of sugar factories do something that ensures that we do not go far even if the Government tries to help the sugar industry. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I want to ask Kenyans when they elect leaders at the factory level or at the tea factories, they should elect people who are willing to serve them and who are not corrupt. Corruption is the biggest problem in this country. Corruption comes from the bottom. It is not perpetrated by senior people. Even ordinary persons at the factory level want to steal kilogrammes of coffee from farmers so that he sells more. When he comes to farmers, he tells them the number of kilogrammes they sold yet they sold more. I have seen it in my place where they ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I rise to support the amendment Bill by Hon. Wamunyinyi. Thank you. I know the Government will help us. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives and we have seen many problems. When we tried to solve them, we were threatened that we would lose our lives. But we do not fear because we were elected to serve the public. We need to ask the people who manage sugar factories to think because they cause many problems. We have talked about sugar factories for three years without getting a solution. I hope the Government ... view

• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the ranking of schools. It is better to rank our schools. You must get number one and two. If teachers know that one time they have failed, they are going to put more effort so that their schools can be ranked number one or two. It is better to think of how we are going to support the teachers. They should be given enough money to make sure that our children pass exams. Nobody can steal exams if the Government puts measures to curb cheating. It is good for this ... view
