• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to comment on the three petitions, two of which are almost the same. The issue of animal feeds in this country could be the biggest thing after the exorbitant fuel prices. Most of the farmers I know are literally running out of business. I must confess I tried to do the same, but I had to shut down because of the high cost of animal feeds. Many are suffering because the cost of animal feeds is too high compared to the sale price of the end products. As my colleagues have stated, I would ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: On the issue of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and other things, the scientist and the food security experts need to have a very sober debate in this country. We cannot run away from climatic change. It is reducing the amount of food we can get through natural processes. It is time that we had a sober debate as a country and see how we can proceed. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: On the final two petitions concerning land issues, the Constitution of Kenya, the National Land Commission and general laws, have a way of solving this issue. The issue of adverse possession that happens after 12 years is the guiding principle that the Departmental Committee on Lands should consider. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order regarding two issues. First, last week on Thursday, I mentioned that I had a pending issue before the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. They told us to hover around today for a miracle to happen, so that we are called to receive Statements and answers. As I indicated, we truly hovered around. At around five minutes to 10 o’clock, we were sent a short message stating: “Sorry for the inconvenience. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) will not be available to answer your Questions or issue Statements.” This is ... view

• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me clarify. I appreciate that the Committee has so much work such that he cannot keep tabs or track of everything that happens. I had two requests for Statements. One Statement was issued on that day and the second one concerning the air strip was not. I must admit and appreciate that with regard to the one on the border crossing point, some movement has taken place. We are moving somewhere. This particular Statement was never presented. They had forgotten about it. I actually reminded him on the Floor. After a few days, he sent me a ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on 1st July 2021, I asked a Question concerning the Kenya Transport and Logistics Network. Sometimes about early August, the Vice-Chair of the Committee of Finance and National Planning undertook to get back to me as soon as possible. Indeed, sometimes last week, I was invited to go and attend a meeting where the Cabinet Secretary was to be present. Unfortunately, when we went there, the Cabinet Secretary did not appear, but sent the Chief Administrative Secretary, who had no clue and had no answers at all. So, I am seeking your indulgence and direction. Now that the ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: have been waiting for that. Now that the substantive Chair is around, can I get any indication when the response will be ready? view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will gladly wait for the formal invitation as they normally do through the Clerk. Nevertheless, I will hover around here on Tuesday waiting to be told of the venue. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
