• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also join my colleagues in congratulating His Excellency the President for delivering a wonderful Address to this House. As you listened to different hon. Members contribute to this debate, it must have occurred to you that some of them started by congratulating the Government for a job well done, and then, very conspicuously, tried to cover up their failures with jabs against the Government on corruption and ethnicity. I wish to ask hon. Members to stop being selective. If we want to talk about ethnicity, let us ... view
• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. March 27, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 135 Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Commissioner of Co-operatives is a constituent of Archbishop Ondiek's. Who was there before him? I want to challenge the Opposition side of the House, particularly the former Ministers who left the Government and went out there, shouting "tribalism"!. I would like this House to check the record when they were in the Government and see what was happening in their respective Ministries. You cannot believe what some of them were doing. We will table that evidence in good time. view
• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. You can see a demonstration of ignorance. In the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing, we do not appoint directors. Directors are elected. That ignorance is being exhibited by an hon. Member of this House, four years done the road, when we are preparing for another general election. He intends to go and tell his constituents that he was representing them here, and yet he does not even know how Government systems operate. view

• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a further display of ignorance by the hon. Member. If ignorance goes beyond ignorance, I do not know what you would call it. The Directors to the Board of the Co-operative Bank of Kenya are also elected. view
• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to draw your attention to some of the people you lord over in this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Government. It came out very clearly in His Excellency the President's Address that rural poverty has, indeed, been tackled. As a Minister in charge of rural development, I can categorically say that, indeed, rural poverty has been tackled. I will give you instances. 136 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 27, 2007 In the North Rift, for example, in the last two years, 482 dormant dairy co-operative societies, which had ... view

• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we want the Government to do something about the water hyacinth, and I agree that something should be done, removing the water hyacinth alone is not going to improve the living standards of the people around the lake. The people need to be empowered. The Government is doing its bit and I want to challenge my colleagues that instead of hanging around a Hummer vehicle, they should go home and work for the people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said here about the New Kenya Co- operative Creameries (KCC) not ... view
