• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) what programmes the Government has put in place to ensure that Kenyans achieve maximum benefits from energy saving equipment; (b) what energy usage benchmarks the government has developed for the various sectors of the economy; and, (c) whether the government has developed and implemented a Bankable Energy Efficiency (BEE) project in the country and, if so, how many such programmes have been implemented in Eldoret South Constituency and at what cost. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, could he tell the House why there has not been equitable distribution of available energy resources in the country? view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister again state what the Government has done to promote private sector players in energy conservation? view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in thanking hon. Namwamba for coming up with such a timely Motion; a Motion that touches on farmers. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to say that I was educated by a farmer, when the KCC was on its feet. The KCC used to do so well. It gave hope to many Kenyan children, including me. But it is so sad that, as I speak now, the same farmers who own assets totalling up to Kshs5 billion cannot claim ownership because they have been arm-twisted. The same farmers who supplied milk to this country have not been paid a lot of money. The question they ask is where the proceeds are. Where did the money go to? ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will agree with me that these assets belong to the farmers. The same Government bought shares from the same company and baptized it as the “New KCC.” What is in this name? The assets belong to the farmers! view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sad as a legislator from this region; up to now, farmers are crying foul; farmers are being taken for a ride by the same Government. We know very well that we used to have value addition to the products that were made by the KCC. But even as we speak, the New KCC plant in Eldoret just processes raw milk and it cannot even process butter and many other products that it used to process. Why is that so? It is because there are other players who want to paralyze this institution. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we devolve to county governments, this New KCC plant at Eldoret, Sotik and many other parts of the country, these are the only assets that the farmers hold dear to their hearts. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that I do not agree to privatization of this New KCC; these are assets of the farmers. The seven member team that should be constituted should go deeper to look at the history and what led to the collapse of KCC, how the New KCC came to own the shares. The farmers, in case of privatization, should be the ones to own these assets. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will agree with me and many others that many of us drank milk bought by the same Government, especially for the school going children. You can see hon. Shebesh here; she is very energetic; I am also energetic and hon. Kamama is also energetic, because we drank milk bought by the Government; the Government then was providing a market for farmers’ milk. The same farmers’ children – and I am one of them – are energetic; that is why I decided to fight to come to this august House; it was so that I can ... view
