• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I commend this Committee led by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and the distinguished Senator for Bungoma, Sen. Wetangula. This is fantastic work of brilliance and courage. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The Motion before us, especially as amended, goes into the heart of the issues that ail this country. In my opinion, the Inter-Ministerial Committee on food security, should be known as the Inter-Ministerial Committee on food insecurity, because that is what they have visited upon the people of Kenya. By the stroke of a pen and the decision they made they condemned many farmers to deep poverty and depression. It is important that we approve this Report and agree with the decision of this Committee. These people will explain to the country how they were able to sit down and ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: If we are looking at ways and means of making the country food secure, then it is easier to start by ensuring that our farmers and the people who produce for this country within our borders are properly funded and supported. These farmers are suffering because they could not give kickbacks and that is why people sit in high offices with well air-conditioned rooms and who drink very expensive water, could issue gazette notices without winking their eyes. It is unfortunate, evil and I lack words to describe the action that the particular Inter-Ministerial Committee visited upon the innocent farmers ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments of many of my colleagues who have said that this Report will be a game-changer.

• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: How difficult was it, for example, before the people that came up with the scandalous programme of Galana-Kulalu to consider investing in our farmers who over the years have been doing farming, before spending billions of Kenya Shillings in a place that is not arable? I am sure that farmers would have been able to produce whatever they were looking for cheaply and affordably in this country. However, since our farmers are too poor to give kickbacks, nobody considers them. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I note that the work that this Committee did is how we need to carry out investigations in this country; silently, expeditiously, without drama and malice, but laying all facts on the table. I hope that is the attitude that the DPP and DCI will observe in the investigations they are carrying on. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am not satisfied that we have an investigator who for every statement that they take, their first point of call is to the newspapers and WhatsApp groups. It is a shame and charade; that is not how to fight corruption. We want to see them try their cases in court and not in newspaper headlines. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those very many remarks, I keep true to the promise that I made of not taking more than three minutes. I support this Report. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am trying to follow what Sen. Mwaura is saying, but I do not see the correlation between devolution and marriage. Is he suggesting that the Governor for Kirinyaga has been devolved to Murang’a County? view
