• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Many Kenyans put in a lot of their money in factories and companies like Mumias Sugar Company because they believe in profitability and that they are for the benefit of the people. Audit companies mislead the people by cooking figures which show that those companies are profitable while they have failed. The ordinary people buy shares but, unfortunately, they do not benefit. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: If these companies are privatised, the local people should be given first priority and substantial shares before other people get them. That is because that economic activity takes place in a particular area. Why should those people be disadvantaged? Why should foreigners benefit? We insist that those people should be given an opportunity to own those shares, to ensure that they do not suffer after sacrificing so much. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: This is a very detailed Report. I request the Members to read it. Almost 60 years after Independence, it is wrong for our people to be poorer than the way they were after Independence. Western Kenya is one of the most fertile places in our country. However, it is one of the most neglected areas by the Government. This is the time that we must make sure that the people of western Kenya and other sugar growing areas are treated the same as the ones who grow coffee, tea and other cash crops. If there is a waiver of any ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank you and cry out to the Members, especially the ones from Western Kenya, that we need to fight for our people. There is no shortcut. The economy can be revived without any sweat because we have the land and know-how. We have so many people who are poor. The fabric of the economy has been destroyed by the malicious and greedy activities of a few Kenyans who import sugar at the expense of our factories. I would like to request Hon. Osotsi to second the Motion. view

• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Members who have spoken and supported the Motion. Some things which are already in the Report have come out, like the zoning issue that Hon. Wangwe has raised. That is a very pertinent issue. What has been happening is that you confine farmers to a particular area, but they are not paid. They say that it is not viable. They want to be able to sell their produce to whoever is going to give them the highest price. Zoning will be a big issue. As ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a very important matter. It has been appearing on the Order Paper severally. The last time I gave Notice of Motion was on 19th February 2020. The Motion is clear as stated on the Order Paper. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in today’s Order Paper, I have seen the Motion listed. However, the framing of the Motion is very different from what we had actually given notice of. So, in the circumstances, I am unable to proceed with this Motion unless it reverts to the original format that I had actually given to this House. view

• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Implementation on the Status of Implementation of Legislations, Petitions and Resolutions passed by the House, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 30th June 2020. This is in line with the Committee’s mandate pursuant to Standing Order 209(2). This is an omnibus Report covering various House Resolutions. It is the second Report the Committee is tabling having tabled the first one in 2018. Unfortunately, the same has not been brought for debate. I want to ask the HBC to expedite the introduction of that Report to the House. ... view
