• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: I guess that is the problem. I suspect he did not get enough sleep while there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this report and reply to a Petition by Mr. Kerich Kiprono, Hillary, a resident of Bomet County. I do not know exactly where in Bomet. However, as a House, we must continue to show appreciation to citizens who believe in the power of this House to resolve issues that affect them. When a citizen petitions this House to consider a matter that he finds to be grave, we must always remember that he is exercising a constitutional ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: come down, should also be taken back to the farms to understand the challenges that maize farmers go through. By the time farmers are petitioning the Senate because of the prevalence of a disease such as this, probably these fellows or online keyboard warriors, are seated, making noise that the price of unga must come down. They do not realize there is a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: farmer who woke up very early in the morning, ploughed their farm, prepared it, and has to sell that maize to a miller who will prepare unga, then they can buy from the supermarket. We must continue to respond to the issues that are raised by our farmers because this country is sustained by a working agricultural economy. I am not certain of the exact percentage, but I know that there is no employer larger than the agricultural sector combined in this Republic. When our farming communities are happy, the country is largely happy. When our farming communities thrive, the ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: The PCPB is also being urged to ensure the availability of effective and safe pest control products for managing various vectors of this disease. They should ensure that the national and county governments provide farmers with training and agricultural extension services. I know there are challenges with funds and resources in many county governments. However, rarely do you find county governments hiring a requisite number of agricultural extension officers. Yet if we have good extension officers in the various parts of the county, then it means our farmers live a decent life. They also could earn better from their farming ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: about a few minutes ago, it is on account that we have supported our farmers to produce sufficiently. That we celebrate. Now, we must do the next step which is to ensure that we secure and lock the market for them, then we will have completed the equation. Our farmers will be happy and they will go home celebrating that their leaders have responded to their needs. If you see the production in almost all crops in this country today, for instance, it is the first time today in 2024 we sold tea worth Kshs215 billion. That has never happened ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: the country, I must return back to Londiani and tell my farmers why I have allowed maize importation. Sen. Ledama must be able to stand in Narok town and see the wrath of his wheat farmers and urge them or listen to them before taking that decision. Otherwise, when you leave it to be a power to be exercised by the Executive alone with no significant checks, you will find yourself in a situation such as the one we are dealing with of the wheat farmers presently. Farmers have had a good crop and their stores are full. However, importers ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: That, while this response here responds to the calls that have been made by Mr. Hillary Kiprono, we must see this in the broader context of the entire country. What we perhaps need to do is to establish the issue of disease control and surveillance in the country and ensure that each of these national Government institutions have presence in our counties and have the support of our county governments. This is to ensure that our farmers continue to earn better. The same can be said almost of all other industries. With those very many remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I ... view

• 27 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to also add my voice to this Report of the Mediation Committee of the Conflict of Interest Bill. This is an interesting Bill because it has passed both Houses of Parliament and ended up in the Mediation Committee after a protracted battle. The first battle was between Members and the second, and most importantly, was between this House and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). You will recall that it was on the basis of this law, that EACC issued a communique, trying to, at the time – I still hold the ... view
