• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: We should also try to make it clear that a miller should never be given a license to import sugar. That is because that process kills the sugar-cane farmer. Since it is cheaper to import, they will leave the sugar-cane to rot in the farms as they import sugar. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to join in the debate concerning Sessional Paper No.1 of 2021 on the National Water Policy. We grew up knowing and being told that water is life. At Independence one of the social goals of the Government of Kenya was to have piped water all over the country in all homes and villages. I think we were supposed to have piped water by the year 2010 which came and passed without us achieving this object. Also, it is indicated in the provisions of Article 43 of the Constitution of ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, New Clause 16B(b) states that the management of the Institute shall consist of three persons nominated by the farmers from each of the sugar catchment regions under the Second Schedule. New Clause 16B(c) states that the management shall also consist of two persons nominated by the farmers from each of the sugar catchment regions under the same Schedule. What are we saying? Why not just say five members instead of having two separate parts? view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Probably, the Chairperson can explain so that we can understand and it does not become another typo or misstatement. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Further to that clarification, currently, the Kenya Agricultural, Livestock and Research Organisation is heavily funded to undertake research. Will it not be in order to ask them to give a percentage of that funding to the KEFRI since they sit on the Board? They are heavily funded and are a premier research organisation under agricultural matters. They should be compelled or required to give part of their funding to KEFRI. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is nothing out of order. I just feel that the penalty prescribed under 16J(2) is fairly punitive. The Kshs1 million for a peasant farmer is an overkill. This is probably something that the Chairperson and the Committee can start ventilating on as we proceed. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, number (c) looks a bit untidy because it talks of different things. We have (a), (b) and (c) in 24D. The first (c) talks about “to order the payment of costs”. Then, there is “and the provisions of the law relating to commissions of inquiry in Kenya with respect to…” Is it relating to the cost or should it have been (d), to specifically cover areas relating to the Commissions of Inquiry Act in Kenya? It is a bit untidy. It needs to have been cleaned up. I am sure Members must have been looking at ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Yes; I think it is a typo. It is something that we can clean up without anything. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: I might just need a clarification from the Chair. The words read “where the office of any member becomes vacant, whether by death or otherwise, the Chief Justice may appoint…” It is not compulsory that the Chief Justice appoints. Does it mean that the Committee contemplated a situation where the Tribunal can sit despite a vacancy, in spite of there being a vacancy? Would it have been fair enough to state “the Chief The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
