• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: You can see that children come to school not prepared into regular school because they have not been in early childhood schools, and they will have a complex which is going to affect them throughout their education life. So, I am particularly pleased that the Ministry has paid a lot of attention to early childhood education. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Let me once more say that I support this with a lot of praise for the Minister and the Ministry of Education for doing a job that had not been done all these years, and one that many Kenyans are going to benefit from. If one were to look at what it is that would bring more equality in this country, this Bill should be one of the things to be looked at. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to impute improper motive on matters that he purports were said by myself when he was not there and I did not say those things. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: He made a statement to the effect that I said, while visiting the Southern Rift that if somebody catches Malaria are you going to ask Government--- First of all, that is not my language. Secondly, I did not say that. I protest in the strongest terms possible. If he wants to bring a particular Question on those issues, I suggest that he does so and I will respond to him appropriately. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will recall that in another capacity, I was the one who brought the Bio-Safety Bill to this House. There was a lot of resistance but fortunately, the House passed it. So, we cannot introduce it overnight. Last Friday, we were busy using the universities to introduce farmers to bio-technology. So, it is not as if we are not trying it but it has to be done very carefully using the research institutions that we have. You will also be aware that in view of the drought, we have used the research institutions to ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking everyone who has made contribution to this very important Bill. I have listened very carefully to the debate and can say quite confidently that the contributions will enrich the Bill that we will end up with. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not that we will, in fact, write down everything that everyone has said because some of them are contradictory. For example, to expect in the modern day to have 51 per cent ownership and the investor to have 49 per cent, it does not really work. But, ... view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, we have brought this Bill because we want to change the style under which the sugar sector is managed in this country. One of the reasons that have brought this to our attention is that the sector has been mismanaged greatly in the past. The second reason for the dismal performance of this sector is that the regulatory regime has not been adequate to ensure fair play view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The current wars are not as simple as that and that is why we want to strengthen the Tribunal. The Tribunal has ruled on a lot of these issues, but they have not been able to effect because of their weakness. That is why we want it in this legislation. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Sugar Amendment Bill, Bill No. 62 of 2011 be read a second time. Sugar cane is one of the important cash crops in Kenya supporting over 200,000 small scale farmers. About six million Kenyans mainly in the rural areas derive their livelihoods directly or indirectly from the sugar industry. However, as we know, the sugar sector has continued to perform under par, hence, the need to create a more enabling legal environment to spar the sector to perform better and in a more modern fashion. Many factors have led ... view
