• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: amendment, I handed it to the office of the Clerk at 10.00 a.m. this morning. It is the first business that I did when I came to Parliament. view

• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said, this is an extremely important issue. I can see the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries is in the House. Members of the Committee should give it the seriousness it deserves. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of the sugar belt along the lower parts of Rift Valley and the regions, including where you come from, is the backbone of our livelihood as a people. The State has continued to disregard those farmers. It left them to the sharks who imported sugar into the country and ensured that their crop continued rotting in fields. With the intended leasing of sugarcane factories, it is important that Parliament which represents the people be brought into the full attention of the details concerning this sale. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: We need to draw a clear distinction. I have seen some records claiming that once you have a sitting with Gov. (Prof.) Anyang’-Ny’ong’o and Gov. Oparanya, you are done with that region. That is not the case. Even our country assemblies need to be informed of what is going on in this leasing exercise. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: I suggest that when the Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries convenes to consider this matter, the hearing should not only be held in Parliament, but in the region where those sugarcane factories are located, so that wananchi can tell them the pain they are undergoing. view

There are huge tracks of land owned by companies like Nzoia, Mumias and Muhoroni that tenderpreneurs are interested in. We cannot allow that. This House must stand for the people of Kenya and defend against this fraud. That deal is a fraud. The Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries must expose it. I thank you, ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labor and Social Welfare regarding the operation of the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) and the rampant doping test failure by Kenyan athletes. In the Statement, the Committee should explain what the Government is doing to address the frequent cases of doping amongst young athletes which has led to banning or suspension of 55 Kenyan athletes from international athletics, including 2017, 1,500 metres champion Elijah Manangoi. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Two, state the measures, if any, the Government has put in place to ensure that the image of our country is not tarnished by increasing suspension or bans of our athletes due to violation of antidoping rules. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Three, explain what is being done to address the current unavailability of the world anti-doping agencies, administration and management system on mobile phone platform thus forcing athletes to cover long distance to file their whereabouts and information.
