• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like move a further amendment on that clause by adding the words, “aquaculture and food production” in the definition of agriculture after the words, “husbandry” and before the words, “and includes”. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I had something to say on Clause 5 but if you tell me you have gone past it, I will just say it anyway and it has to do with if you insist that there are so many people elected, you actually water down the work of the experts because we have this crisis in the sugar industry. Furthermore, he would actually be invalidating what operates as the state but we have gone past it. Although I had my microphone on the whole time you just did not give me space but I concede. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I accept, but I have a further amendment which is different from that one. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was in the process of signing the previous one. I will write this one if you accept it. I would like to add in the Clause 11 the words “and including a directorate of fisheries and food production” after the words “any other Act of Parliament”. It is right there at the beginning. It is innocent. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: No. That is not what this Bill is trying to do. This Bill is trying to set the policy. We should not start the debate which we had during the Second Reading; we could if we want but it will take us another time. Nevertheless, let me assure the hon. Member for Chepalungu that this was not written by some civil servant somewhere as he told me last time. It has not come from the book of some civil servant to this paper without going through the hands of the Minister or someone else. Let me assure him that this ... view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Crops Bill, Bill No.59 of 2012 be now read a Second Time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Crops Bill, 2012 will replace the Agricultural Act, Cap.318 of 1948 and another 13 Acts that are no longer necessary. The Agricultural Act, Cap.318 is old, archaic and obsolete. The following are a few examples:- In that Act which was drawn up in 1948 it was stated that all of Kenya except the North Eastern Province was to be governed by the Act. Obviously, we can no longer have view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me, first of all, thank everyone who has contributed. Let me assure you that we have taken note. Your contributions are most valuable. They will be reflected in the amendments by the time we come to the Committee Stage. However, let me say that this was not an easy Bill to draw up because we are working through massive legislation which is by and large out modeled, but our aim was to make life easy for farmers. If it is not clear, our intention was to have better access to inputs. ... view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Kenya Agricultural Research Bill, Bill No.60 of 2012, be now read a Second Time. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is even going to be shorter than the other one. I know you do not like things being short, but it will be shorter. You like them long, but I like them short. This Bill is to consolidate research. It is really an attempt to bring together the “R” and “D”; the research and development which are so scattered in this country. As it is now, the whole research section in ... view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me begin by thanking all these learned colleagues of mine, especially those who have had a lot to do with this field. Your contributions will enrich the final product when we sit down to do this Bill at the Committee stage. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, for the purposes of the HANSARD, let me say this right away. On the Fourth Schedule, as you will see, we have among the institutions, the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI). By mutual agreement with the relevant Ministry, we decided to leave this one out ... view
