• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.364 of 2020 to the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries: (i) When will the Ministry allow and facilitate tea farmers from Ndu-ini, Gikigie and Kiangenye tea factories to change the station of delivery of their green leaf from Githambo Tea Factory to Gacharage Tea Factory, considering so that they stand to benefit from the fair-trade funds availed at Gacharage Tea Factory and the existing road network, which is not as poor as the access roads to Githambo Tea Factory; (ii) what specific measures is the Ministry putting in place ... view

• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am happy that Members are back. We have important Private Members’ Bills. We have the Cancer Bill; Blood Transfusion Bill; Breast Feeding Bill; Radiographers Bill; and Basic Education (Amendment) Bill. I thank my colleagues who have stayed in. We now have quorum. For sure, we need to save these important Bills including the Mental Health Bill. We have already done a lot of work. On the Food and Drugs Authority Bill, Hon. Pukose has already spoken on it, we are handling it. I want to confirm that it is among the important Bills that we have before ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support the Chair and oppose what Hon. Mwirigi has raised. There will be several other positions. Since it is the Chief Executive Officer who is supposed to steer the company, ten years’ experience is important. We are talking about a tea sector that deals with very many stakeholders. So, the exposure is very important. I support young people getting positions, but there are other positions they can get in the board. view

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am going to be very brief. I wanted to raise the issue that Hon. Tanui had raised. This is on what the Chair has read as the new amendment on 20 (b) which states: “Each county government shall implement the national government policies to the extent that the policies relate to the county and in particular shall be responsible for— (i) the development of tea grown within the county; (ii) tea disease and pest control; (iii) markets within the county; (iv) cooperative societies within the county; (v) register commercial tea nursery operators (vi) ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I thank Hon. Cecily Mbarire for that amendment and echo the sentiments of my colleagues that we need to have a tribunal as a way to address the complaints. Currently, there are buying centers from my zone such as Kiangenye, Nduu-ini, Karura and Gikigie that have expressed their need to move from Githambo Tea Factory to Gacharage Tea Factory, which is just next to their tea buying centers but, until now, nobody has addressed those issues. They have not been picking their tea for the last two months and farmers are just languishing in ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: My contribution will be brief. Some of us are here because we were brought up by tea farmers. We are also tea farmers. We want to protect the small-scale tea farmers. view
