• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: It is high time, therefore, that a corrective position is taken by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), to make very serious moves. The CID should visit the PBK and find out who have been involved in this serious scam. These people might have invested this money in buildings and very big cars. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Once investigated, any property that may have been acquired through dubious means must be confiscated and the money returned to the PBK. By this act, innocent farmers have been affected and more so, the education of their children. Again, university students, whose parents depend on farming, have been denied a chance to learn well. The image of the Government has been put in a very awkward position. Therefore, concerted efforts are required to correct this anomaly and give trust and confidence to the farmers in our country. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently, we had the same issue in this House where the Minister for Agriculture through, his Assistant, indicated that farmers had not been paid about Kshs70 million. I was the one who asked that Question. Up to now, the farmers have not been paid. Is the Ministry really serious about the issues that are affecting the farmers? view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The money involved may look small but it really means a lot to that small-scale farmer. The Ministry must be committed to the responsibility that has been bestowed upon it. If we kill this industry, we will kill the whole nation. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The other issue is that of land. It has been indicated by the Chairman through the Report that 850 acres of land worth about Kshs2 billion has been taken by a few directors of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya. It is, therefore, imperative that the security organs of our Government move swiftly to recover this land because it was given out at Kshs31 million. It is important that this land reverts back to the Government to be used for research initiative that we require in that industry. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya must also be overhauled because its composition as it is now will continue to impoverish the Kenyan farmer. The sooner we view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: 5012 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES February 17, 2009 view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: acted, the better. We have university graduates who are jobless right now. Why should we allow thieves to continue managing this very important sector while our youth who have already graduated from the university are tarmacking? These people must be removed to create room for the young graduates so that they can take that challenge and prove to us all that they can deliver. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) should investigate those people who conspired to burn the stores of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya so that they can continue looting. If they are found guilty, they should be punished accordingly. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue that we need to address is the renewed Board of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya. We need a board that can deliver new variety seeds for that crop and effect delivery of fertilizer. If we want to revive this industry, we need a board that will come up with an aggressive marketing policy. view
