• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Who is trading on behalf of the farmers as we speak? We have brokers and businessmen who do not know how to even grow maize. They cannot feel the pain maize and wheat farmers are growing through in this country. If we can have this institution in place, we shall have the farmers producing enough food to feed Kenyans. I want to say that this Motion has come at an appropriate time and the Government should assist this institution by injecting the Kshs1.4 billion and there will be no food shortage and starvation. view

• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to thank the Minister for coming up with this Bill.

• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill has come at the right time. This institution should be set up so that it can disclose these assets. If the owners of these assets cannot be traced, they can be put into good use to develop our country, be it in terms of roads, schools or hospitals. I want to thank hon. Lekuton for this Bill which is timely. We will move this country forward by making use of these unclaimed assets. view

• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that good answer. However, from her response, she has stated that, out of the 4,735 primary schools that were supported under the Green Schools Initiative Programme, only 29 are from Eldoret South Constituency. But as per the minutes of a District Education Board (DEB) meeting that was held in my constituency on Wednesday 26th, 20 schools benefited from that programme. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister to clarify why the other nine schools were not supported. Could she respond to that? view
