• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of insecurity is not just localized as per the Question. As the Assistant Minister strengthens security in the areas the hon. Member has asked the Question about, the crooks simply move a few kilometres away and commit the same crimes. The killings in Webuye are exactly the same as those that view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs what the Government is doing to ensure compliance with Chapter Six of the Constitution on Leadership and Integrity, particularly Article 76 (2) (a) on financial probity of state officers which stipulates that a state officer shall not maintain a bank account outside Kenya except in accordance with an Act of Parliament and Article 77 on restrictions on activities of State Officers. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to accept the Assistant Minister’s answer is, in effect, to say that integrity, good governance and good leadership is being put on hold. Chapter Six of the Constitution is not suspended; so, we cannot say to leaders that they can continue stealing for the time being while we wait for legislation. Could the Assistant Minister prioritize this legislation that he is talking about and which surrounds Chapter Six, so that we can pass them even before Christmas to ensure that the country is on the right footing in terms of integrity issues? view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, part “a” of the Question is very clear as to whether the KSB supports sugarcane farmers in cane development in this country. Does the Board have any policies to support the farmers? The farmers do not have to apply for the money if the Board has policies to support farmers in cane development. Why would the Assistant Minister insist that the factories have to apply for the loans? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate the Assistant Minister’s request for more time, there are people; a university student who had nothing to do with the club and a farmer who was collecting foodstuffs from the club who were arrested. They are now languishing in police cells. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as he is asking for this time, what do we do with these poor people who are in police cells and no action is being taken to release them? He can be given more time, but this university student and a farmer, who were absolutely innocent, be set free. They were not even part of the club. What will he do for those people? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a member of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I rise to support the Motion. As our Vice-Chairman has ably indicated, when the name of Morris Oduor was brought to us, we were keen to see whether the proper process had taken place and as a Committee, we were absolutely satisfied that due process had taken place. There was no conflict amongst the members of the board, and so, as a committee, we were satisfied and happy that Maurice Oduor was properly nominated to be the director. Mr. Temporary Deputy ... view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you know, last week I had a similar Question on maize and the answer that I got from the Assistant Minister, to say the list, demonstrates that the Government does not care about the farmers at all. He has talked about market forces. Does that mean that this Government is not interested in food security from now on, if the farmers sell their maize elsewhere? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that maize farmers in Western Kenya, particularly in Bungoma County, are selling their produce to brokers at Kshs.800 per bag due to failure to open the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots? (b) When will the Government re-open the depots and commence purchasing the produce? (c) What measures is the Government taking to avert the farmers’ burden caused by the steep rise in the price of diesel? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer is extremely disappointing and frustrating. The answer shows that this Government has no interest, whatsoever in the farmers. All over the world, the governments protects their producers. In the case of maize, we are now being told the NCPB will be opening to buy maize at Kshs1,500 per bag of 90 kilogrammes and yet, the Government is allowing the producers of maize to sell at Kshs800 per bag because of a liberalized situation. view
