• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Murkomen must choose what he wants to be in this House. On certain days when it is convenient like today, he wants to become a tea farmer. When it is more convenient, he wishes to be a squatter. So, he is a pastoralist on certain days view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition is important and I am proud of the work that the Senate as a House has done on issues facing tea farmers. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that last week on Thursday, we passed the Tea Bill, 2018. Part of the key highlights of the Bill is that we are pushing for a strong regulator in the tea sector because basically, tea farmers have been left on their own. When the Government changed Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) from being a state parastatal to being a private entity, many small-scale tea farmers have ended up suffering in their hands. It is my hope that the National Assembly will agree with us on the need to have a strong regulator in the ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that late last year, this House passed a Motion that was brought that sought to form a select committee to look into the challenges facing the tea farmers.

• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: One of the richest state corporations in this country happens to be the one that has been mentioned in this Petition. However, we have the tea farmers who are the people who have, through toil and hard work, ensured the corporation has billions but they continue to lose their money each and every time a bank collapses and are completely poor and impoverished. Therefore, we request the President to form a commission of inquiry to tell farmers what will happen to their investment. Many buildings that the KTDA own in this town and things it has been doing have been ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and thank you. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to make a brief comment on this issue. It could partly because of our problem as a Senate or a constitutional challenge. At the beginning of this Parliament, I brought an amendment to the County Governments Act which we eventually passed albeit late. It sought to ensure that chairpersons of the County Public Service Boards (CPSBs) have got at least a training and an understanding of how public human resource works. We delayed in passing that Bill but right now, it is before the National Assembly. Unfortunately, by the time the Bill is effected ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: crooked as the majority that we have. Therefore, they may have given due consideration to issues of professionalism. I can assure you that in most counties, many governors make their cronies heads of CPSBs. They hand lists to them and ask them to employ those people. Basically, it will be difficult for us to control this, unless we get the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act that is before the National Assembly. view
