• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. The coming of machines in tea growing areas has impacted negatively on the economy of those areas. First of all, majority of the population relies on working in tea plantations. As a result of mechanisation, many livelihoods have been affected. All sub-sectors have been affected. Tea pickers, transporters who ferry them to tea plantations, mama mboga and even food suppliers who provide them with food in the plantations have been affected. It is a whole chain that has been affected. The advent of the machines has a negative impact. That ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise in support of the Report on the approval of Martha Koome as the Chief Justice.

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, at first glance, the amendment by Hon. Obara leads me to believe that it is similar to what the Chair is moving. If you look at it closely, it is the same amendment. I would like to tell my colleague that if she has the time, she can chip in because it is a similar amendment.

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: My concern on this is that not all the staff of AFA or KALRO will be doing work related to what the Tea Board will be doing. What happens to those staff then? What this Section implies is that all the staff in its entirety will be absorbed. In the Tea Directorate not all the staff will be doing the same function as that of the Tea Board. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, just a quick one. On this issue, I wish to raise the fact that the Section 30 that we deleted was saying that the board shall arbitrate disputes. I am of the opinion that we should have a separate clause to allow the parties go for arbitration themselves. They ought to go for arbitration if there is a dispute such as between the licensee and the board. It is not only just about the person and the licensee. There should be a provision that whenever there is a dispute - before anything can go to court ... view

• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. Let us commend the Chairman, Departmental Committee for Finance and National Planning. It is good that he is talking about pest control. The incoming of COVID-19 did not take away the locusts; they are still a menace to our farmers for they are ravaging most parts of our country. On that Chairman I commend him.
