• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me deal with the question from the Member for Kasipul. It is good that food was delivered to the people of Kasipul. We shall continue to support the constituency when we have a provision. The issue of cost of delivery is a valid point; food delivery to the needy must be done in a cost-effective manner. So, it is appreciated. There was the issue of the Ksh57 billion subsidy. That was precisely the point I was driving home a little bit earlier when I said that the Government had to terminate this very punitive subsidy ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: On sound monetary policy and the rule of law, if there are people marching in the streets with Mungiki and guns, surely, they are not attracting foreign direct investment leave alone local investment. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: We have to grow out of these awkward practices and move forward to get the country back on its feet. Our Constitution is very clear that when a Government is elected, the President has an opportunity to serve his first five years. Then, if people are comfortable, they will elect him for another five years. In the wisdom of this country, Kenyans have embedded that and it cannot be changed. We must make it very clear that it is not possible for anybody to have a second bite at the cherry. We now must move forward. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: I want to say there is no Kenyan maize being grown in Zambia. We have to work hard at diversifying our food crops and diets, so that we reduce overdependence on maize. This is absolutely essential. That is why I made some remarks that we are also encouraging growing of traditional crops. We have issued seedlings of some crops so that we can have diversity. When we have a challenge with maize, Kenyans will not starve but use alternative food crops. Next is the question of determining who qualifies for support under the ASALs programme. Usually, a variety of criteria ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: the most vulnerable groups. There are many different parameters used to determine who is needy when it comes to support. That is why support is targeted and it is not for everybody. It is not practical to have everybody on cash transfer. We specifically identify who will be a beneficiary of it. I want to say the message of county governments enhancing their own local revenue is absolutely important. In as much as the Constitution states the need to have revenue shared, I think it is important they also look at their own revenue sources and upscale them. Hon. Speaker ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: I think there was the issue of meeting the small millers. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: I think I have dealt with the question on the small millers. It is an issue that we will take up so that we can have the conversation with them. The G-to-G arrangement is supposed to benefit everybody, including the downstream traders. It is not supposed to be confined to a few people. That is what we were running away from with all other subsidies. I will take it up with the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum. I thank you. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think we are going to an over kill. If you look at Clause 16, and I just want to specifically draw the Members to Clause 16(5), it says very clearly that:- “(a) notwithstanding any directions to the contrary under sub- section 4, a State officer shall not influence the award of a contract to- (a) himself or herself. (b) the State officer’s spouse or child. (c) a business associate or agent. (d) a corporation, private company, partnership or other body in which the officer has a substantial or controlling interest”. In (6), it goes further ... view
