• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will try and do so when I get to it. However, with the little Kiswahili that I know, it is hali ya ukame ama hali ya kutokuwa na mvua ya kutosha. I think I am reasonably up to it. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure that even in this House, we have used the word view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: It has never been ruled to be out of order. Is that an English word or Latin word? view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are some words that may not necessarily have an English word equivalent. “ La Nina” is just a phenomenon and, therefore, there may not be a single English word that can easily match that. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will use as many words as possible to make many Kenyan people who do not understand Latin to be able to do so. I just want to make it clear that this House has adopted other words in this House, which are even in our Standing Orders that are not English. They are Latin words. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to make a Statement on the national preparedness for the looming La Nina Phenomena. The country has, in the recent past, experienced several crises including protracted droughts, floods and landslides. Of particular concern is the cyclic nature that the crisis has taken. As you may recall, the country experienced prolonged drought in 2009 as a result of four successive seasons of depressed rains. The last drought in particular hit pastoral communities hard. Many of the communities who lost their livestock in the last drought are yet to recover and are only just embarking on ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I start with the issues raised by Mr. Nyamweya, they are valid. In the Statement, of course, I could not cover every detail. I want to acknowledge that the issues he raised are important. Indeed, the long and short of it is that I have also indicated in this Statement that the Ministry of Water and Irrigation is going to review the state of all its initiatives regarding water harvesting and so forth, and be able to present a report on the status that we are in and what measures they are putting in place to ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to state, in respect to the hon. Member for Lari that as it turns now, we expect that the Ministry of State for Special Programmes which is charged with the Strategic Grain Reserves--- It is the responsibility of the Ministry of State for Special Programmes to ensure that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) will have the appropriate resources in a timely manner to be able to take the grain from the farmers and pay them promptly. The problem we have had over the years is that farmers tend to deliver maize but ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: That also goes further to touch on the question raised by Mr. Wamalwa. The issue of driers is the function that is handled by the NCPB because they are the ones who normally take the grains. This point will be emphasized so that farmers do not get the frustrations that they have been getting when they are told to go back with their maize because of the moisture content and at the same time no service is provided to them. So, that aspect is key to the issue of our preparedness in this regard. view
