• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Transporters and everybody are benefiting from the misery of Kenyans. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this cannot be the way to run a nation. It cannot be! view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this kind of institution must be established on a temporary basis. It cannot be an institution that will survive in Kenya forever because famine relief is a shame to the nation. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that we should establish The National Famine and Drought Management Board, or whatever it is, and have this law. However, it must be a transitional law that should be there, given time, and when the Bill comes, the institution must be time-bound. If we are going to be a real independent country, we cannot have such a law among our laws. However, for the moment, it is necessary because the KANU Government, and now the NARC (K) Government has messed up this country. Until a government of democrats and true revolutionaries comes to ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I I would like to see this Bill come into being because, then, we shall have a watchdog for monitoring the use of famine relief, which as I said, is something that I speak about with a heavy tongue. Forty-three years after Independence, Kenya should not be having famine relief. I remember there was only one time for famine in Kenya when I was growing up. In Luoland, there was some famine before World War II, before I was born. That is the famine we used to talk about in Luoland. The whole of my ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2371 The political economy of railroad transportation in this country, when we are talking about famine relief, must be examined. As my colleague, Prof Oniang'o, has said, we now must face the fact that we must have famine relief in this country. But let us manage it properly. Let us transport and distribute this food properly and honestly. Let the recipients of this food be the people who deserve it. When you see famine relief food being sold in shops, then you must know that this nation is rotten. When there is an impending election ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: One of the reasons why the Kenya Railways is not doing well is that the people in Government own huge transportation vehicles. Such people wait for the time when there is famine in this country and the port of Mombasa is jammed with relief food. They then transport this food upcountry and steal some of it on the way. In that way, they make sure that the Kenya Railways does not work. That is the politics of railway transportation in this country. Kenya Railways business went down the moment famine and food relief became the "end all" and "be all" ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to second the amendment. What Mr. Syongo has proposed will supplement what the Mover of the Motion has proposed. It will also take into account all the able contributions that have been made by various hon. Members. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the demand for nuts globally, especially cashewnuts, macadamia nuts and groundnuts has increased tremendously. The world has realised that blending various nuts to make vegetable oil industrially is not only healthy, but responds to environmental and health demands in the world today. What the Government needs to understand is that ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to go into that, but in relation to this, I wanted to emphasise that the most important thing about going into the nuts industry, is to avoid going into any branch of making our vegetable oil industry based on certain modifications which can be very dangerous to our health. We know, for example, that God created us in a certain way. He never told us that we should modify the way he created us. I beg to second. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to strongly support this Bill for the reason that hon. Members have given today; that, it is long overdue. In my langauge, it is said that when a calf is born as you look after a cow, even if you were not present during its conception, the calf becomes yours. The calf in this case was conceived when I was a Minister for Planning and National Development, when I was looking after the cow. However, since it is being born when my friend Mr. Obwocha is taking care of the cow, I ... view
