• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add to the voice of my other colleagues. I stand here to support this Bill on warehouse receipt system. It is estimated by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) that a third of food produced for consumption is lost along the food value chain. That is through the pre-harvest, harvest and post-harvest loses. Therefore, it directly impacts negatively on food and nutrition, security and livelihoods of our people. I come from Uasin Gishu County that is referred to as a food basket alongside Trans Nzoia County. Most of ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: warehouse receipt system, they can transfer their produce and keep it as they wait for better prices. This way, they will benefit. Thank you for the opportunity. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Sorry for that fault. On my behalf and that of the people of Turbo, I join my colleagues in condoling with the families which lost loved ones. It is a matter of national concern that we have lost many lives. It is unfortunate that this has been going on for a long time. This is because of lack of self- discipline on the side of the drivers. Surely, most of the issues can be addressed. We can stop over-speeding and overlapping. We can stop the use of phones when driving. view

• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Mover, I support this Motion. It is a very noble Motion that will go a long way in afforestating this country. It is going to improve the agriculture sector in this country. I thank the Mover for bringing it to the House.

This Motion will enable the youth to learn to protect our environment in a sustainable manner. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you. I have been waiting for so long. I did not know the machine had a problem. Maybe, I should take this opportunity to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also want to thank the Member for Tinderet for bringing this Motion which is very important. I come from Turbo, a place where farmers have embraced sugar-cane farming as a cash crop. I feel for those farmers because despite the fact that they have embraced sugar-cane as a cash crop, they have actually embraced poverty through non-payment and a myriad ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: are 80 per cent of the farmers - there is a lot of pilferage because the farmers are not able to follow their cane to the destination or to the weighbridge.

Paying the farmer is a different issue, but making the farmer benefit from production of cane is the ... view
