• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: process of completing that exercise that is before them of considering the proposal from SASRA in terms of legislation. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue. There is a reason why I had to rush back into the House, despite the fact that I was engaged in another very important national duty. The residents of Kericho County are the second leading suppliers of sugarcane to Kibos Sugar Company. The people I represent in this House, especially residents of Soin and Kipkelion, depend on this particular sugar factory to eke out a living. They pay school fees for their children, get medication when they are unwell and get along with their lives. The closure has not only ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: I heard the Managing Director of this factory say that this was their first point of interaction. The issue had not been brought to their attention and they failed to comply. Closure should be an option if there is willful failure to comply. Therefore, I humbly request the Committee of this House that is charged with the responsibility of looking into this matter to hit the ground running so as to save the lives of the people of Nandi, Kisumu, Kericho and all others areas that depend on Kibos Sugar Factory. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your information, sugarcane farming is a not a small business. Sugar is one of the most consumed products in this country on a daily basis. How its farmers, just like tea, milk and coffee end up living in abject poverty is something that we will never understand. There are cartels that conspire to kill all factors and means of production of this industry so that they can cheaply import sugar into the country and make a kill. We should not allow them. NEMA should not aid importers of sugar as opposed to building the capacity ... view

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is a chairman of a very important SACCO in this House. We had sent him to speak on our behalf. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. This is a very interesting afternoon. When such matters are being considered, it is one of the best days to be in the House. You will recall that at the beginning of this Session of the Senate, I brought a constitutional amendment - after six months of watching the performance of my good friend and our former colleague, the Governor of Nairobi City County - of course, many things were said at that time but it was informed by very simple reasoning. From 2013 to 2017, we tried a technocrat. From 2017 onwards, we ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In Mathew Chapter 12, you will read of a time when Jesus walked into the synagogue and the Sanhedrin were keen to set a trap for him. It was on a Sabbath, and you know the rules of that particular time. One was not supposed to work on the Sabbath. Jesus saw a man who had a deformed hand. He went ahead and healed him, to the protestation of the Sanhedrin. This is because in their consideration, it was better to see a man suffer but observe the law. That is the challenge that ... view
