• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My argument is that ADC and AFC are financial institutions set up by this House. This will affect the viability of the agricultural financial sector. All we are doing is postponing the problem to a later date. The issue of writing off all AFC and ADC loans as a block will not help our financial sector. Perhaps, what we need to do is for the Government to provide a moratorium on all AFC and ADC loans to suitable and qualified farmers as was brought up earlier. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are very many ... view

• 6 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not ask whether there was a probe committee set. My Question was very clear: "What is the progress of the investigations of the police action and the killings that occurred in Kisumu in the post 2007 election period?" I did not ask specifically whether there was any committee, a probe committee or a commission set to carry out investigations. I wanted to know why the police were instructed to use live bullets to shoot innocent protesters. There was no violence at that time until the police came and the Rapid Deployment Unit went there. Officers ... view
• 6 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House by giving that answer? view
• 6 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is misleading the House. Having said that there were a number of deaths, they were not 45; they were 83. Just before he sat down, he misstated a fact. He said that the police used teargas and rubber bullets. No rubber bullets were used in Kisumu. We have spent G3 rifle cartridges. We also have postmortem reports of nearly 63 people, who were shot and killed using G3 rifles. Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister saying that the Rapid Deployment Unit is not a police unit? If he is saying that, then he ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for telling us that he is expecting some fertilizers. He has also told us that the Government intends to control about 50 per cent of the fertilizer imports next year. These are special and difficult times. Why can the Minister not restrict the prices of fertilizers? These people have been taking advantage of fertilizer prices. The prices should be restricted to, say Kshs2,500 per 50- kilogramme bag of fertilizer. These are special times. The prices should be controlled during these three months, so that we can get fertilizers during the planting ... view
