• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would just like to briefly contribute to this Motion whose debate was interrupted on 4th December, 2014. First, let me thank my Chairperson, Sen. (Dr.) Zani who led us very well in this view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Committee to produce this Bill and bring it before the House. As you know, Kenya is going through a period of a bonanza in the discovery of more and more natural resources. Sometimes when we think of natural resources, our minds jump very fast to the extractive industries like the geothermal industry and the oil and gas industry in this nation. Extractive industries are just one part of natural resources. Looking at the impact of these emerging bonanza, extractive industries are going to play an extremely important role in our GDP. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in my own county Kisumu, ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to speak and for your communication from the Chair. I want to raise two issues which you could help us clarify. One, it is true that the Auditor-General has made statement before us, as a Committee and also in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, chaired by Sen. Billow indicating that his office is underfunded. I do not think that is enough. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has requested you to state what you are going to do about it. However, I am not quite sure whether it is ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is now 4.15 p.m. and we have spent a lot of time on these preliminary issues. Noting that we have at least seven Motions and Bills in their Second Reading and there are many more queuing in the House Business Committee, would it be in order to postpone the statements and go straight to Order No. 10 and subsequent ones? We have too many things in our tray. This may even force us to propose that we sit on Wednesday mornings, so as to finish outstanding business before the House. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairman correct to say that the Ministry is doing that because the schools have poor infrastructure? The statement he read says that part of the money given for Free Primary Education (FPE) Programme is supposed to be used for infrastructure.

• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If I disagree with you, then I do not have a point of order because I would like to raise my point of order when we can properly interrogate the Chairman of the Committee. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill is very important because one of the things we must understand is that diet requirements of Kenyans based essentially on starch, particularly maize, are being threatened by the weather. In many places where people have depended on rain as a source of water so as to grow both maize and millet, the pattern of rainfall has changed so drastically that peasant farmers are left worried about how they shall continue investing in maize, millet or sorghum production without depending heavily on irrigation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, traditionally, in this country, the only food crop ... view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I were Jesus, I would tell them they have turned my house into a den of robbers. Then, I would whip them out of this House. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even cart flower is irrigated under highly capital intensive conditions. As you know, it is one crop which has not been amenable to small holder production or out growers whereas, other crops which are equally amenable to irrigation like tea were the first to be amenable to out growers. Therefore, that economy was extended successfully to small peasantry through the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA). Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know, full well, that it will take a very long time for our peasant based agriculture to move from rain-fed agriculture to irrigated agriculture, unless there ... view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Public Fundraising Bill (Senate Bill, No. 28 of 2015) be now read a Second Time.
