"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you. You know where Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale comes from, food is very important. They talk about food all the time. It is so sad that the New KCC and the SACCO in Meru decided to drastically reduce the amount of milk they are taking from the farmers, from 75,000 to 25,000 litres. Milk is perishable. It is not dry food that you can store in your house for long and then submit later on. We need to call the Cabinet Secretary and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the New KCC to come to the House. Our farmers are suffering. We are encouraging them to have good dairy cows that produce up to 40 litres a day. When they work hard, we stop picking the milk from them. This is not right. The Cabinet Secretary should come to the House and explain what is happening because we have a shortage of milk. Why are we importing milk from Uganda? Why are we importing maize when we have maize from the neighboring countries? That is something that we need to look at, so that we do not discourage our farmers from investing in both dairy and crops. Lastly, I wanted to comment on the statement by the Senator for Migori. The Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs gazetted 32 Artisanal Mining Committees (AMCs) across the country, Elgeyo-Marakwet County being one of them. They have taken so long to operationalize these committees across the counties that have been gazetted. They need to operationalize, especially this coming Financial Year---"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the statement by Sen. Seki on the shortage of vaccines. At Independence, there were three major things that the founding fathers promised to sort, which were disease, ignorance and hunger. It is a pity that after over 60 years of Independence, we still want to talk about tackling disease. Could it be that we are leaving our children to languish and die? Coupled with this, I would like the committee to tackle the issue of immunization financing, which is going to be a problem in this country, especially as donors are going to pull out by 2029. If we have a problem by now, it means we are running into a greater problem. Secondly, I want to support the statement by Sen. Eddy Oketch on the concerns regarding the state of small-scale mining in Kenya. Just a few weeks ago, we saw over five women die in some of those mining sites. We would like the Ministry to also state the safety measures they are putting in place for the artisanal miners and the small-scale miners all over in the mining areas. Lastly, is on the aerial survey of minerals that was done. Why do we find it easy to know where our natural resources, such as wild animals and forests are, and somebody does not want to make public the inventory on minerals? Kenyans deserve to have this knowledge. There should be a lot of concern on those statements. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I support the statement by the Senator for Migori, Sen. Eddy, on minerals, which is quite weighty. I would wish the committee that is going to look at that statement to go deeper and even tell us what the body that has been conducting the geological survey looks at for them to term certain minerals strategic. This is because for a long time, I have been thinking soapstone and whatever that surrounds it from Kisi, is strategic enough to convince the Ministry or Government to support that as an economic activity. It goes a long way in solving the economic needs of the locals and the country. I am worried that we are put aside by having some minerals termed strategic. The committee should shed light, so that I am able to know if indeed we fall below that bar or it is a means of sidelining soapstone miners and carvers. I also wish to support the statement by Sen. Seki. We have had rampant shortage of vaccines. I do not know why this is recurring. Is it poor forecasting or general lapse in the Ministry? We do not want to lose our children. They are the future of this country, but it is sad that most of them are now missing out on these very crucial vaccines, which are very crucial at their developmental stages. We should not even be talking about this right now. The Ministry needs to stop every other thing and address the matter on infant vaccines."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this country, it is very difficult to know what the truth is. I was very conflicted when I listened to the statement by the Senator for Kirinyaga about coffee and dairy. On Madaraka Day, the President made an address, telling us how structural changes and reforms in the coffee sector have led to the direct settlement scheme, which will allow coffee farmers to get settlements within just a few days, rather than a number of months. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to go deeper into this matter, not just to look at that specific aspect of direct settlement scheme, but to verify whether the reforms that the President has told us continuously in the agricultural sector are true reforms. If we were to listen to only one side of the different arms of Government, we will lose it and that is why Parliament exists to validate the claims from the Executive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also comment on the mineral, the declaration of strategic minerals. Every corner of this country has a strategic or has a critical mineral under the soil. We had expected that the experts we had donated to the broad-based government like Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Hassan Ali Joho, would be able to tell Kenyans the truth for once. The colonialists, when they came to this country, did a mineral mapping and the records are there. County governments have a clear mineral mapping. Today we are talking of fiscal space, we are talking of lack of resources, borrowing money from United Arabs Emirates (UAE) and going into wars in Sudan so that we can---"
