• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion for the formation of this Fund. We know some money has already been given to this Fund. We remember the Governor of Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and, the people fighting corruption have given Kshs2 billion. The Governor has given Kshs7 billion yet nobody is talking about food for the people. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: The Governor of Central Bank of Kenya. Nobody is talking about food for our people and we have a daily Press conference where the CS for Health is giving a very good update - and people are very happy - about how many people have died, how many are sick and how many have been tested. He has also been telling Kenyans to wash their hands, sanitize their hands, and not to leave their house. People are glued to the screen waiting for somebody to appear after CS Mutahi Kagwe is through with the information on people who are sick, ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is no death that is less painful. We are protecting our people from dying from Coronavirus, but it will be absurd if we push them to die from hunger. Kenyans are very responsible people. They are very compliant and they have obeyed everything they have been told by the Government. People have stopped working. Those who were in the transport industry are at home. Those who are running bars are at home. People who were earning a living have no money, they do not have a shilling. We want the Chairperson of the Fund together with the ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Tea Bill 2018. I must say that this Bill could not have come at a better time. You know that when the various Boards that were looking after various crops were collapsed under AFA, there was no proper attention to this sub-sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The tea sub-sector is very important for the economy of this country and, more so, to the farmers. I would like to disagree with Hon. Kimunya who argued that tea is just like another crop like potatoes and carrots. They are also very important food crops. However, Hon. Kimunya may not know because he does not have tea in his constituency. However, as a former Minister for Finance, he knows the amount of foreign exchange the tea products earn this country. As such, it requires special attention. When all those products were put under one body, they were not given ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: As a result of that lack of proper regulatory supervision, the cartels in KTDA have taken over the industry. They have overrun and exploited farmers to an extent that those who work so hard and toil everyday have become destitute or paupers in their country. They have become beggars. In this year’s bonus, the farmers in Kagochi Tea Factory in my constituency got Kshs28. They are not even able to pay their bills. Ndima Tea Factory got Ksh32 only. This is because the people who have taken over the industry, because of lack of supervision, have become cartels and they ... view
