• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister had indicated to me that he wants the Question deferred until next week. Considering the seriousness of the controversy surrounding the said land, I have no objection to that. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, aware that the Minister has tried to give a very elaborate answer, I wish to urge her to state what specific arrangement the Ministry has for those IDPs who are up to now are staying with their families?

• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this time. I would like to echo my support for the two Principals who came together to create the peace that we are enjoying today. The tenets that they have already set for peace and economic prosperity are important for our nation. Secondly, it is important for hon.

That is very important in attracting foreign investments, tourism, and industrialisation, thereby creating employment for our people. I beg to support. view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I raised the issue of wheat farmers. At times, wheat farmers are affected by army worms. It becomes very serious and cumbersome to the farmers.

I was, therefore, suggesting that the Minister for Agriculture creates a mechanism to be used to cushion farmers who are likely to be affected by army worms. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the ... view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for granting me this chance to contribute to this very important Vote. I wish to thank the very hard working Minister for making a very prompt presentation on this Vote. As I make my remarks, I wish to direct my attention to one or two areas. One area is about the role that has been played by the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) in this country. There was a time when the AFC was very vibrant.

• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, aware that our teachers are crying as a result of low salaries and the banks are charging a lot of money to credit their salaries to the their accounts, could the Assistant Minister, in liaison with the banks, think of reducing this huge deduction of Kshs50 to Kshs20? The difference would be an incentive to teachers who are crying right now. view
