we have. There have been robust debates about them and committees have done a lot of work. Therefore, it is time to reconnect with constituents. Unfortunately, Kenya is not at the place where the only way you can be ranked as a legislator is on the work you do in the House. Voters still insist that they must see Sen. Olekina in Emurua Dikirr, Narok South, Kilgoris and Angata Baragoi, so that they can appreciate that they have a Senator and there is work going on. Therefore, to provide colleagues with the opportunity to catch up with the work in ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This looks like a fairly straightforward matter. In fact, listening to Sen. Chimera, being an advocate of the High Court, we can easily resolve without having to consume the time of the House. If as alleged, these citizens already have an enforceable court order, then, the only prudent thing to do is to cite those who are supposed to have enforced this order for contempt of court and force them. This is not something that we need to take much time on unless there are other facts which have not been presented before us ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank all our colleagues for taking time to speak to this important Bill. When I made my contributions yesterday, I indeed noted that this is a neglected sector of the economy. If we took time to plan and organize well as envisioned in manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza administration, then it has the potential to save our country billions of shillings that we use in importing sugar into the country to meet our annual deficit which is slightly over a million tones or below that. Secondly it will create employment by the fact ...

must maintain the feeder roads within the counties. Therefore, this is a conversation that we may want to have. Sen. (Dr.) Murango, I would like to give you a better idea. I told you that for many of these sugarcane farmer organizations, five per cent is a huge figure to give them from the sugar development levy. Part of this fund would be put to better use if farmers can access factories faster. You can slash and maintain it at one per cent or set it as a static figure of Kshs100 million. These farmer organizations have nothing do nothing ...
