• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is an important issue that these petitioners are seeking the intervention of this House to try and resolve. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a few weeks ago, our colleague, Sen. George Khaniri, the Senator for Vihiga County, brought before this House a similar matter in regards to a boundary dispute between Kisumu and Vihiga counties and the unbecoming behavior of our former colleague, the Governor of Kisumu County, Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: At that particular time, I reminded this House that it was important for us to keep in check governors who having failed in their core duties, are excited to reawaken their political careers by engaging in such emotive issues as the one that is being canvassed before us. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Muhoroni Sugar Company sits on the boundaries of Kericho and Kisumu counties. Of all the counties that surround Kericho County, Kisumu is the one that we share the largest boundaries with and we have coexisted peacefully for many years. Last term, when Kisumu County had a different governor, this issue never arose. However, recently, because of the activities of the current governor, who is interested in the parcels of land that have been listed, he keeps showing up at villages that are squarely in the heart of Kericho County and puts up signposts of the County Government ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: land belong. The maps date back to the colonial times. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason why the County Government of Kisumu should be engaged in these kinds of activities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last two months, we have lost more than five Kenyans because of border conflicts that should never have arisen if the County Government of Kisumu had not engaged itself in these kinds of atrocious activities. Therefore, I plead that this matter be treated as urgent. The aligned Committee to handle this particular Petition should visit the area before we have our annual break for the ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir, view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to request for time, filled with humility, 52 per cent of James Finlay is in Kericho and 48 per cent in Bomet County. Within two minutes, allow me to bring to your attention that the issue being canvassed by Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at is important. As the host counties, we have extended communal assistance to James Finlay and Unilever. The land rates they pay to the county governments are not commensurate to the land they occupy in terms of commercial value. The reason they give is that demands of the market; tea prices are not selling ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: we should accommodate them as they employ many of the people from south rift and parts of Nyanza. For them to pull this move where at the slightest decline of profit they want to fire 700 employees is completely unacceptable. I know the Committee led by my good friend Sen. Sakaja has done great in terms of reviewing labour issues brought before this House. I humbly call upon them to once again live up to their high reputation as one of the most effective Committees of this House by visiting this institution and inviting them. If James Finlay sacks 700 ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Kericho County and that of my family, I pass my sincere condolences to the people of Matungu Constituency and the family of our colleague, Mhe. Murunga. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of our colleagues have spoken about the tragic and unfortunate way in which he met his death. If we had a better working health care system in the country, perhaps we would not be having this particular matter as a point of discussion. I remind my colleagues that we too share in the responsibility of blame. As a House, ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, you know very well that as my teacher at the university, I followed all your instructions keenly. Therefore, I do not intend to change that today. I agree with the wisdom of our senior colleague, Sen. Wetangula, that while we may have divergent views on maybe one or two issues, the document largely reflects the views of many of us in this House, if not all of us, especially where they have dwelt on provisions of the Senate. Article 123 is such an important Article, perhaps, the most important. Perhaps, it is stronger than Article 96 that ... view
