• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As my health condition fluctuated from time to time, there was a long debate in Nyeri County as to whether or not I would survive. By the grace of God and prayers from family, relatives and the people of Nyeri County, my health continued to improve considerably. However, by January 2016 my health deteriorated and I was admitted in hospital until April, 2016. When I came back to the county in April I was in a much better condition and ready to carry out my day to day duties as the Governor of Nyeri. When ... view

• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in commending the Ministry for a job very well-done. The reforms that are in place are beginning to bear fruits. But, perhaps, my only plea is to request the Ministry to ensure that these reforms are speedily implemented. For instance, it is now a requirement that all water that is in various sectors must be piped. No water should be flowing in farrows. About a month ago, there was an incident in my constituency where an epidemic affected over 500 students because the water that they were using ... view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister must do better than that. Providing money in the Budget does not mean that, that road is going to be built. The Assistant Minister should tell the hon. Member when tenders will be opened. What is the time between evaluation and award? When will the construction of that road start? By merely saying that the money is in the Budget is not an answer to that particular Question. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House when that road will be constructed? view

But what is happening here is that the same people who are holding Dealers Licences have been issued with Marketing Coffee Licence and licences for buying coffee. So, there is a cartel right now in the coffee industry and farmers are losing a lot of money. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy with the answer given by the Assistant Minister. He has said that he is going to issue a legal notice stating new regulations. But, in the meantime, could the Assistant Minister tell this House what he intends to do? We have a company called Mathira Coffee Mills that is now milling coffee in Mathira. There is a different company with the same directors called Coffee Management Services--- Another company called T. Dormans--- All those companies are owned by one, Jeremy Block. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the last sale of coffee, ... view
