• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Those are some of the issues that are unreasonable with this Government. Possibly, because of the handshake, we can no longer oppose what is said by the Government. That is why they are going an extra mile to being unfair to people in some parts of this country. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I also wish to oppose this amendment. Five years is a very long period for an appointment. Five years is only for elective positions. For appointing positions, it needs to be three years. Thank you. I oppose. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. You remember the Speaker directed that we go through a winnowing process. In that process, the Committee assigned me to move this one so that they could move others. Some of those amendments which I proposed were taken over by the Committee. So, for me not to be left empty handed, they proposed that I tackle this one, but we all agreed on all these amendments. So, I do not know because they were slightly different from those of the Committee. We are simply adding the functions of the Tea Board of Kenya. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Clause 5 is on the functions of the Tea Board of Kenya. There are several functions listed there. I am simply adding to those functions. The amendment proposed by the Chair was also on additional functions of the same. Since I am moving additional functions of the Tea Board of Kenya, I do not believe they have been negated by the Chair’s amendment. My amendment is simply adding on to the number of functions which are already there. Even if you check on his amendment online, which I cannot access here, you will see ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I do not know if the issue is about the face of Kenya, because tea farming is done in certain regions The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: only. So, I do not know how this one is being introduced. I know the funding of those functions also comes from those regions. It is sort of a regional activity. So, I oppose it. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Chair. There is this part of the Bill on Clause 20 which says that one of the functions given to the county governments is to market tea within the counties only. I think it is quite unfair. In Bomet for example, we have sought markets internationally. We have even gone to Iran to look for market. We have in fact signed some Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the 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 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Government of Iran. So, when we try to restrict the counties to only seek markets within the counties, I believe it is unfair. I want to object and oppose this one strongly. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: I think there is also confusion because we have it online and we are having it rough running from the Bill itself and to the amendments being proposed. I thought we need to be guided on how we combine the two when we are online. However, when I peruse through this, I can see that and when if it is going to go through, it is going to be quite unfair. That is the one, which I want to oppose. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support this amendment. In fact, the original Order Paper had this amendment. As we all know, this sub-sector is not supported by the Government. Considering that the sugarcane industries are built by the government. The farmers in the tea sector are not supported in any way. The tea factories are owned by the farmers themselves. They contribute to build them. So, if the Tea Board of Kenya can be funded, at least, partially by the National Government, I believe that is a welcome idea. I support. view
