"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to start by thanking Sen. Sifuna. Indeed, these are people we need in this country, so that equity can prevail. I also want to add my voice to the various Statements that have been raised today. Let me start by commending the Head of State, His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, for forming a broad-based Government. It is not about where the individuals who are named to be part of the Cabinet came from. It is the spirit. Once we realise that this country belongs to all of us; once we realise that there is need for us to speak with one another; once we realise that nobody has a monopoly of knowledge; once we realise that this country is greater than any one of us, that is the moment we will start moving this country forward. Sports in this country has made Kenya a great name across the world. However, as a country, we have not done justice to the ambassadors who have made us proud to ensure that our name, flag and the national anthem is sung in all Olympic stadia across the globe. Therefore, I concur with my colleagues that it is high time we invested a little bit more in sports. Most importantly, we must come up with a policy. I agree that we should start considering giving counties conditional grants for them to invest in sports. We should not stop there. We must come up with a blueprint on how it should be implemented. We know that different counties are endowed with different resources. That also goes for sports. Therefore, it is imperative to start exploring avenues that can give our young people who have talents an opportunity to compete in international arenas. That can only happen if we put equipment and resources in place to enable them compete with others from other countries. Issues facing tea, coffee, and milk sectors have been raised here. I sit in the Committee on Agricultural, Livestock and Fisheries. Attempts by the Committee to ensure that we revive those sectors by formulating Bills and amending laws that are there have not been successful because we, as a country, have started concentrating on non- issues, leaving issues that affect our people which are more important, including issues facing coffee, tea and milk sectors. When we were campaigning around this country, we promised our electorate that we will ensure that we came up with an elaborate and comprehensive solution. We promised to put in place a sound legal framework that will ensure that exploitation of farmers by cartels comes to an end. When we hear about tonnes of tea lying at the Port of Mombasa, it makes us sad. Just the other day, our shilling was stronger against the dollar. Therefore, farmers could have reaped the benefits. However, we have waited for too long. Now, the dollar is getting weak, the Kenyan shilling is gaining and this will make the farmers to lose. Madam Temporary Speaker, in light of the broad-based government, it is imperative that as a House and Senators, without being seen as if we are going to bed with the Executive, we address this. Nobody has monopoly of knowledge. It is an opportunity for all of us to set a new beginning, which is people-centric and inspires the young generation to start taking part in agripreneurship."

"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this might be a solution to some of the problems we are facing. The issue of Gen Zs has awakened us to start talking about a tribeless country. This can only be done when this House starts conducting politics that are issue oriented, free from political party divide and tribal ethnicity. If we join hands and state that we have a country that has a myriad of problems that need to be solved, we shall put our heads together and get solutions that are meant to address the future generations. As I said, it is imperative to ensure that we give the younger generations a perspective and hope for tomorrow. This has been diminished by the very same policies from our politics on the Floor of this House and outside. I urge my colleagues that in the spirit of the broad-based government, to embrace each other and come up with policies. Most importantly, let us try to look at issues that affect us, as a country, and ask ourselves how we should inspire, give hope and equal opportunities to our youngsters. This can only be done if we close the political divide and say that this is our country and we have a sole and moral responsibility to shape its destiny for the future and the young generations. As we discuss, formulate laws, come up with Bills and debate Motions, we must never forget that if this country goes down, it does so with everyone of us. Therefore, I agree with my colleague, Sen. Beth Syengo, that, indeed, seeing the National Treasury being led by somebody from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) gives us opportunity to develop equal models that will ensure every Kenyan enjoys equal opportunity. I support."

"content": "Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia Taarifa kadhaa. Taarifa ya kwanza imeletwa na Sen. Cherarkey kuhusu biashara ya majani chai katika soko la Mombasa. Hapo awali, Bunge la Seneti lilipitisha kanuni ambazo ziliipatia Serikali mamlaka ya kuweka bei ya majani chai chini. Kutokana na kanuni hizo, uuzaji wa majani chai umedorora kwa sababu majani chai hayauzwi kulingana na mahitaji ya soko. Bei katika soko huru inapatikana kutokana na wingi wa majani chai na upungufu wa haja yaani demand and supply factors . Kuweka bei ya kudumu ya chini ya majani chai imefanya soko kudorora. Mara nyingi, majani chai yanapouzwa hayawezi kupata ile bei ya chini kabisa ambayo soko imeweka. Kuna majani chai ambayo yanakuja katika soko kupitia Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) na vile vile kutoka watu binafsi. Majani chai ambayo yameleta matatizo ni yale yanatoka kwa shirika la KTDA. Swala hili litaweza kutatuliwa iwapo zile kanuni zinazosema kuwe na bei ya chini ya majani chai itabadilishwa ili kuhakikisha soko liko huru. Swala hili linafaa kutatuliwa na East African Tea Trade Association (EATTA) ambalo linasimamia soko hili, ili waangalie ni vipi watadhibiti bei ya majani chai ili yasipate bei ya chini. Bi. Spika wa Muda, vile vile, ningependa kuchangia Statement ya Sen. Crystal Asige kuhusu kudorora kwa Team Kenya katika michezo ya olimpiki ya mwaka huu inayofanyika hivi sasa mjini Paris. Tumekuwa tukijipa kipao mbele kwa maswala ya michezo hususan riadha. Tulikuwa na uhakika tutapata medali ya dhahabu katika mbio za mita 800, 1,500, 3,000 vya kuruka maji na vuizi, 5,000, 10,000, marathon na vile vile kutembea kilomita 20."

"content": "Mpaka sasa, tumepata medali moja ya dhahabu pekee katika mbio za mita 1,500 za wanawake. Haya ni matokeo duni sana kulingana na vile ambavyo tumekuwa tunafanya katika michezo hii. Haya yametangamana na udhaifu wa Serikali kuwekeza kikamilifu kwa michezo hii. Tumeona mkimbiaji kama Faith Kipyegon akishinda mbio nyingi hapo nyuma. Aliweka na kumiliki rekodi nyingi za ulimwengu nafikiri katika mbio za mita 1,500 na 5,000. Yeye ndiye mmiliki wa rekodi ya dunia. Lakini, juzi hakuweza kufua dafu. Labda alikuwa amechoka au kuumia akijaribu kufikia kiwango kile cha michezo ya Olimpiki. Tungependa kuwe na uwazi wa uchunguzi wa matokeo haya duni. Vile vile, kuwe na mfumo wa kuboresha hali yetu ya michezo. Tutaiboresha michezo hii wakati tutaweka stadia au viwanja vya kisasa vitakavyotumiwa na wachezaji wetu. Bi. Spika wa Muda, tumepiga kelele hapa kwenye Bunge kuhusu swala la Football Kenya Federation (FKF) - Mpira wa kandanda. Mwaka jana, tulifanya mikutano kadhaa na FKF pamoja na Waziri aliyeondoka, Mhe. Ababu Namwamba. Mpaka sasa, hali ni ya utata. Mahakama ilisema kuwa ofisi ya Mr. Nick Mwendwa imemaliza muda wake lakini bado yupo pale pale. Hajaitisha mkutano mkuu wa mwaka ili kupanga mikakati ya kuchagua atakaye miliki ofisi ile. Hatuwezi kukaa hivi wakati hali yetu ya michezo inadorora. Nilifurahi juzi wakati ambapo Mheshimiwa Murkomen alikuwa anahojiwa na kusema kwamba atahakikisha amesafisha mashirika yote ya michezo. Alisema pia kuwa ameona kila mara Serikali ikitaka kuchukua hatua kwa mambo ya kandanda kila mtu anaikimbilia Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Hii ni Taarifa nzuri lakini sasa ni wakati wa kuibadilisha kuwa vitendo. Mheshimiwa anafaa aanze na FKF na ahakikishe kuwa tumepata uongozi mpya kufikia Desemba mwaka huu ili matayarisho ya Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027 yawe sawa sawa ili Kenya ifanye vizuri katika michezo hiyo. Ni jambo la kusikitisha kwamba mpaka sasa hatuna kiwanja ambacho kinaweza kutumika kuaandaa michezo inayodhaminiwa na shirika la FIFA ulimwenguni au Confederation of African Football (CAF). Bi. Spika wa Muda, naunga mkono Statement ambayo imeletwa na Sen. Crystal Asige. Sote tunahudumu katika Kamati ya Leba na Maswala ya Jamii katika Bunge hili."
