• 4 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question has come here for the fourth time now. Mr. Muturi should also declare his interest in this Question. He comes from Siakago. I do not know why he has brought this Question, which is on sugar companies. I have the answer here. I have said very clearly that the man is highly educated--- view
• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister here to promise to settle such a serious issue only for Muhoroni when he has admitted in this House that there are over 9,500 displaced families in the entire country? Is it that every hon. Member will have to go to him personally to discuss such issues? Is that in order? view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been standing here for sometime, yet Maj-Gen.

• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to also thank the Ministry of Water and Irrigation for a job well- done.

It is as if she has gone to London and back to fetch water. It is important that the Ministry continues to supply ... view
• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the tea was let out to this international company without following procedures of payment. There were no letters of credit or anything to cover tea farmers. This is a terrible thing. I am not so sure about the insurance, but I believe when tea is in the possession of the KTDA, it must be insured. However, when it leaves the KTDA, it must be insured by the buyer himself. It was an error. That is the position. July 19, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2657 view
• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member of Parliament is saying is very true. As I said, we, in the Ministry, will follow up this matter and many others, to ensure that farmers are at least paid this money. This company is not based in Kenya. It is a Swiss-based tea-buying company. We will follow all the legal channels together with the KTDA, to ensure that at least farmers are paid the money. view
