• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Kenya, it has become a cliché to say that they will put x amount of money in Mumias Sugar Company to revive it. Sometimes, you look at people and wish that they could get angry and stone all politicians. Every political formation, for as long as I remember from 2002, 2007, 2013 and 2017 has made this promise yet it never comes to fruition. I hope for a fact that with the passage of this Bill, when we set up this particular Board, it will sort the financial sector. This is because the agricultural sector is made up of two ... view

• 31 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I agree with my colleague, Sen. Khaniri, that this is a very important function that the Government is missing out on. For many years, many of us grew up to the nice voice of one Mr. Ngwata Francis. If he said it was would rain, then you buy an umbrella.

• 31 Mar 2022 in Senate: . Anyway, I was just concluding. What Sen. Khaniri is saying is very important because many farmers rely on those predictions to even plan on planting, harvesting and budgeting for farming inputs. This speaks to the whole question of how we have mismanaged our agriculture. On many occasions, we speak about fertilizer and the rest of the inputs, but we forget that 70 to 80 per cent of our agriculture is rain-fed. Therefore, if you cannot correctly predict when it is going to rain, then it also interferes with planning and budgeting for farmers. I hope the Committee on Agriculture ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will also try and be brief like the rest of my colleagues. This is a big win for the Senate especially those that have walked this journey from as early as 2016. This is when the discussion about what to do with conditional and non-conditional grants happened. It was first raised by our Committee. I have mentioned this in many occasions in the course of the last few days. This is because it is a special moment for us, especially members of the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget. The first time that we ... view
