• 18 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the various recommendations that have been made by various Members. First and foremost, I would like to say that this Report has given us recommendations that are valid, especially the ones that touch on sugar production. If those recommendations are implemented, they will help the sugar industry to move forward. In this country, we have private sugar companies and those that are run by public officers. Private sugar factories make profits and have no issues. The ones that are run by Government appointed officers ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Factory. Nzoia Sugar Company has machines which were procured from France many years back which are used to date. It, therefore, takes a long time before you get the real product. Eventually, nobody is able to produce sugar at realistic costs in this country. Sugar is imported into this country at a very low cost. When contraband sugar like the one being held in Mombasa gets to the local market, it is repackaged and competes with the local sugar. The people who sell contraband sugar make huge sums of money as they lock out locally produced sugar from the market. ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The public sugar companies will help farmers in terms of giving them the necessary education on sugar production as well as supplying farmers with affordable farm inputs. Therefore, farmers will not have to pay through their noses. The bottom line is that there is hue and cry when farmers are being paid because they do not get enough money from the sugar companies. I support the Report. It will also help the public sugar companies to do better. The private sugar companies are already on course and they are doing better than the public companies. With those remarks, I thank ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity. First of all, I would like to thank the President for the appointments that he made of various Kenyans to various positions. In my opinion, the choices represent the face of Kenya. I do not think we should be complaining about the various people that have not been considered or communities but rather thank the President for the work he has done. In this case, Ms. Omollo, from what I know about her, is going to do a good job especially now that she is a youth. The Ministry she is ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Bill that is affecting our nation. I would like to speak on the amendments on NACADA. You will find that NACADA, the Provincial Administration and National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) are responsible for making sure that the consumption of alcohol or drugs is controlled. However, many times, you find that the people who are supposed to be working to ensure that those things do not take place are well aware of where the consumption takes place and nothing is done about ... view

It is in public knowledge that if the current Parliament serves up to August, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Members will not have served their period of five years. Therefore, it is necessary that we carry out the amendment, especially as the Member of Wundanyi and the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party have said. If the amendment is specifically for this Parliament, then it is okay. We should look into the future and amend the Constitution accordingly, so that the period that is set out in the Constitution of five years, and the dates are set out properly, so that we do not have to do piecemeal amendments every now and then. At the time we were passing ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me the opportunity to support the amendment. This will help the Government, or the officers in the Government, to stop passing the buck for anything that they have been committing, in terms of amounts reaching Kshs5 billion. This is a huge amount, and the CEO of the country should know about it. It will help the procurement officers to desist from doing things which are not correct and ensure that when they engage themselves in any procurement issues, they do not make blunders which will commit the country to unnecessary loses in ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I would like to support the amendment. view
