• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have one or two additional requests to the Committee on Education with regard to this very difficult issue that is being raised by our colleague, Sen. Loitiptip. First, I have seen in his Statement that he is mainly concerned with the interns who are in Lamu. I humbly request that the Committee brings a report on the status of this internship programme in the entire country. The reason I make this request is because many of these young people that have been engaged, it would be important to see the nature of the contract ... view

• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: The long standing dispute between SASRA and a number of SACCOs, for example, MUSCO that are before us seeking the guidance of the Senate in trying to resolve this issue is one such example. I know this SACCO well having schooled at Moi University. I know what it means to the people who contribute their savings to it. The day that I saw that this well to do and thriving SACCO had gone down, my heart sunk. I realised that we are living in difficult times. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I made a further inquiry from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) ... 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
