• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) whether he is aware that tea farmers in Konoin are incurring huge losses due to spoilage caused by delays in collection at tea buying centres by the tea factories; (b) what measures he was putting in place to ensure the situation is rectified; and, (c) whether he could compel the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) to compensate tea farmers for losses incurred so far. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Assistant Minister for the unsatisfactory answer, I wish to state that I have always had the mistaken belief that this Government cares for the farmers. How can it turn a blind eye when things are going wrong? If the farmer has toiled the whole day, delivers his tea to the required tea buying centre and the factory management fails to collect it, who is responsible for the loss? view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government is the biggest beneficiary of tea business. Could it consider partnering with the farmers to build factories in order to alleviate this problem the way it is doing for coffee farmers? view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Health:- (a) whether he is aware that Koiwa Health Centre is operating below capacity as a result of inadequate staffing and supplies; and, (b) when he will post additional medical officers and provide equipment to enhance service delivery at the health centre. 734 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 18, 2007 view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Assistant Minister for the answer, I wish to state that this is a huge facility which is going to waste. It was originally designed to be a sub-district hospital, but as you have heard, it is a health centre. Could the Assistant Minister undertake to upgrade this health centre to a sub-district hospital and post a fully fledged doctor to raise the level of confidence in the services of this facility? view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an area of rough terrain. I believe it is worse than Torabora in Afghanistan, although I have not been there. People currently use donkeys to transport patients to hospitals. Could the Assistant Minister consider allocating an ambulance to this facility? view
