• 12 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wambua forgets one thing. If you read the Bible properly and want to lay or apportion blame, then you will realize that the greatest travesty of justice committed in the Bible was false accusation and eventual crucifixion of Jesus. The Sanhedrin was a body consisted of 12 men. There was no single woman. The Pontius Pilate who finally gave the final decree that Jesus be crucified was a man. He agreed with the crowd and okayed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I can assure you, Sen. Orengo, if it was woman, they would never have ... view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this chance. This is a very important Bill. It is a pity that we, as a House, are considering it this late in the day. I wish we had considered it at the beginning of this term. This Bill was introduced in 2019 in the National Assembly. However, because of the many politics that we have both institutional and also in the industry; forces outside of this House, it has taken us close to three years. Perhaps this is going to be its fourth year before a decision is made. There are not very ... view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the long and short of what I am saying is that we must expedite this and the leadership needs to be challenged to find a solution to either spare a single day, recall us back to the House and ensure that as a House, we pass this Bill. It is unfortunate that we have to wait this late. Sugar forms a very important sector in our country. It employs many people. Back in the day when sugar farming was thriving, many industries and societies were doing well. You cannot compare Mumias Town now with when Mumias Sugar ... view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: club they were sponsoring. It played in the Kenyan Premier League and it used to do well. There were many others as well. We can think of Nzoia. There was Nzoia Football Club (FC). This is an industry that used to thrive. However, because of mismanagement and how we are not good at making good companies grow bigger and better, we lost it at some point. The long and short of this conversation is that we need to ask ourselves whether what this Bill is proposing is really the problem. Is it for want of good laws that the sugar ... view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Secondly and most importantly, force these private players to invest locally in cane growing and to also ensure that the nucleus is within their jurisdiction. Every time you apply for a milling licence, you are asked to attach the names of the farmers who will be supplying cane to your factory. Yet once you have got the licence, there is no requirement to ensure those farmers live in conditions where they can continue to supply cane. In those factories, you see steam coming out once in seven days a week, but we do not know what they do for the ... view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: I hope that when we set up such a Board, we will give it sufficient powers. I have seen the powers that have been granted to them. We need to make a demand on everybody, including those who have milling plants that are running. On a yearly target basis, we give them the incentive to grow various nucleases and ensure that their farmers develop their cane and increase it and see their contribution. Otherwise, if you do not make that demand upon them, we will have the situation that Sen. Shiyonga has describing where people run mills for packaging sugar ... view
