• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to commend the Mover of this Motion, which is very important. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is in keeping with what happens elsewhere in the world. Many years ago, we used to have sports hidden under the Ministry of Social Services, but now that this Ministry has been recognized as dealing with issues of youth and sports, it is acceptable to us. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we talk of unemployment, but if we were to enlarge our infrastructure within our municipalities as the last speaker said, we would absorb so ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank Dr. Kuti for moving this Bill. I want to commend him for bringing this Bill before the House. I cannot remember when we repealed the Veterinary Surgeons Act that guided the conduct and operations of the veterinary profession. I think since the colonial days, we have not had a review of the Bill to guide the way professionals within that sector should operate.

However, this Bill is now going to correct that problem that is facing that group of people. It was a very well intentioned move not to separate the Bill that governs the technicians and this Bill that now covers the professional veterinarians. By doing so, we have killed two birds with one stone. One, we have brought order in the sector. We have brought veterinary medicine to the ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support the Motion and say that drought is a phenomenon of climate change. Many people have not realised that climate change is with us. We have been told by scientists time and again that climate change is, indeed, with Kenya as it is with many other countries. It was only recently that we were in Mexico to talk about climate change. A year ago, we were in Copenhagen. Those of us who were in Copenhagen or Mexico heard horrifying stories about climate change. Mr. Deputy ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to tell my colleague that in the Cabinet, I have said the same things I am saying here today. I am saying that we, as a Government, must realise that climate change is with us, and that we should put measures in place to make sure that we mitigate the effects of climate change. I was saying that the maize that was delivered to the NCPB depots at Moi’s Bridge and Kitale last year has not been moved to any other place. We produce maize, which we expect to go to Lodwar and other ... view
