• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: (Moiben, JP) asked the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock to explain the implementation status of the Maputo Declaration (2003) in the country, and the measures the Ministry is putting in place to ensure the full implementation of the treaty is achieved. Thank you. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 43, I seek leave of the House for the purpose of discussing provision of funds for purchase of maize and distribution of fertiliser to farmers and in particular, those from the North Rift Region because this is their planting season. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Imagine, you deliver your maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and wait for an indefinite period of time to be paid. Majority of our farmers delivered their maize to NCPB as early as December 2017 and have not been paid up to date. These farmers depend on farming for their livelihood and also have to pay school fees, bills and prepare their farms for purposes of planting. There is still a long queue of farmers waiting to deliver their produce to NCPB in the entire North Rift, western and southern. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Furthermore, the Ministry has distributed about 900,000 bags of fertiliser to the county for this planting season but about 50 per cent of it is top dressing fertiliser and at the moment we need a lot of planting fertiliser.

This is an emergency. I request that the emergency funds be used to allow farmers to undertake this food production. view

I want to take this opportunity to ask this House to seek the best way to solve this problem because it has really hit farmers in the entire country.

• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Because of time, I will leave it there. It is for this reason, with your indulgence, that I seek leave of this House, in order to discuss and deliberate on this matter. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am sorry for being a bit late. I want to clarify on the issue of prices. The prices will be as per a kilogramme. So, that should not be an issue. I also support the deletion of Clause 29. As it has been said, we had discussed about it. This will go a very long way in supporting people because they have been suffering for a long time. You have heard a Member talking about a bag of potatoes whose kilogrammes cannot even be quantified. We will now have a limit which everybody ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.
