• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues in contributing to this Statement by our colleague, Sen. Kinyua. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is one of the signature programmes of the Kenya Kwanza Administration. We promised the people of Kenya and they granted us an opportunity to implement. While our predecessors, the ‘hand-shake’ administration used to subsidize consumption, we thought it wise and economist worldwide will agree with us, that the proper thing to do is to subsidize production. Make it possible to produce cheaply and therefore, eventually, ordinary citizens will benefit by buying cheap products at ... view

• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: properly thought out or it is too expensive for the administration. It is something that we urge them to reconsider. Can they collaborate with county governments, so that these products are taken to the final or the closest door steps to many of our farmers, at least at sub-county level? As many of our colleagues have observed it, there are farmers who have to travel far distances, to collect two, three, four or five bags of fertilizes; such that at the end of the day, they end up spending money, which they would have otherwise saved. Nonetheless, I appreciate and ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is another dark administration that came through a shadowy organization called the ‘handshake’. It replaced a democratically elected Government with some kangaroo arrangement that was made and cooked at Harambee House. Since that administration came into office, you would hear of programmes such as the one I am explaining. You would be told that millers had been called and paid to subsidize unga for mwananchi. However, at the end of the day, it was an arrangement for big boys in this town. They make a way with money but you would never find that unga on ... view

• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to save this House from future interruptions, when we finish Chamber discussions today, I will take my friend, Sen. Osotsi to Mama Ngina Street where there is Prestige Bookshop and buy him a dictionary. Thereafter, he will never raise such points of order because he will be able to establish what is a proper point of order and what is not. In conclusion---- view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not intend to do that, especially to my good friend, Sen. Osotsi. In conclusion, I look forward to the Cabinet Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, hon. Mithika Linturi, appearing before this House. Such matters do not only invite the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to listen to the answers. It calls on all of us, Senators, representing various counties, to listen to how this programme is being rolled out. It is an important programme to be allowed to fail. The issues that colleague Senators are raising are also important. It is important that ... view
