• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Sessional Paper concerning the issue of extension services on agriculture. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the extension services cannot really succeed if certain systems have not been put in place. We are an agriculturally-based economy and we need to put in more funding towards agriculture. We know that there was a time when the Ministry of Agriculture was not even able to employ extension officers to work with the farmers at the grassroots level. This Paper has just come at the right time so that we can enhance the services ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Irrigation is very important. We cannot depend on rain-fed agriculture and expect to maximize on production. It is important for us to make sure that in future, as we go into 22 Ministries, we should pair up irrigation and agriculture because they go hand in hand. If it is done that way, then proper planning can be done and irrigation can be embraced by the farmers, so that they can get their produce throughout the year. They do not have to wait for certain seasons where there is rainfall. Of late, because of the climatic changes, rainfall has sometimes let ... view
• 31 May 2012 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipatia fursa hii. Ningependa kuwapongeza watu waliokuwa wakishindania viti vya Bunge la Jumuia ya Afrika Mashariki. Pia, ninataka kuwapongeza Wabunge wenzangu kwa kazi nzuri tuliyofanya. Pia, kwa Wakenya, kuna funzo: Kwamba, Wabunge wakikaa pamoja hawakosani, na tusitoke nje kwenda kuwakosanisha watu wetu. Kwa hivyo ninataka kuwapongeza wale walioteuliwa kutuwakilisha katika Bunge la Jumuia ya Afrika Mashariki na kuwashauri kwamba wanakwenda kupeperusha bendera ya Kenya na kutufanyia kazi kama Wakenya. Jumuia ya Afrika Mashariki ni muhimu kwetu sote ambao tuko katika eneo la Afrika Mashariki. Ninataka kuwapongeza wale akina mama wanne waliopata vyeo hivyo leo na ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill which has been presented by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, hon. Wamalwa, to amend the Judicature Act. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important not only to look at it from the point of having several High Courts surrounding one place, but also, at least, to have a High Court in each of the counties. That way we should be able to deal with the many cases which are now in court. Even so, following the new Constitutional dispensation, everybody has faith in our court system and is rushing to court. You can see how our High Courts are really overwhelmed. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been complaining of a backlog of cases and cases pending for so many years, because we did not have enough judges. This amendment Bill is coming just at the right time, so that it can boost the work that is being done by our reformed Judiciary. We want to see a situation where people are able to go to the High Court and have their cases heard and go back home to do their business. When people are sent all the way from Taveta to Mombasa, because you have to go to a ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. Kenyans have really had to suffer over the years. This Bill has been moved here at the right time, so that we can carry out our mandate and also, for the Judiciary to be able to carry out its mandate. It was not good enough for us to have given the Chief Justice the powers to be able to reform the Judiciary, yet we had not given him the mandate to be able to get enough judges. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support and congratulate, once again, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to join the other hon. Members in congratulating hon. Amina Abdallah for bringing about this very important Bill, which seeks to control drug abuse in our country. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem of drugs has been very big and has been with us for a long time. Of course, it has been getting worse over the years, despite the fact that NACADA has been trying to do its best. view
