• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I commend the CS for the competency in which she has answered her questions. Two, I have a question for the CS. The food distribution is done at sub-counties. Some areas have more sub-counties than others and one sub-county may have more population than another one. However, the food is given across board. Therefore, I think there is a lot of disparity in food distribution because of the differences in population at sub-counties, depending with the severity of the drought. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one other thing is that the cost of delivering ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion. Having intelligent systems for water management is a very crucial thing in this country. This is a country that is water scarce. If you go to most parts of the country, there is no water available. Especially in Nairobi City County, now as it is, the city is growing and we are depending mainly on water bowsers. Of course, we do not know how safe that water is, but we believe that our bowser owners will give us safe water. However, the best system is to have piped water everywhere ... view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Currently, if you see what is going on in Nairobi City County through the rivers flowing, it is more or less sewage. The same water is being used by many people in Kiambu County who cannot afford water for domestic use. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is necessary to have systems that can purify and conserve water. If you go to homes, as you have seen it, water is wasted so much, and we do not even have the water itself. In Nairobi City County, most people are now drilling boreholes. We are debating on the underground water. So, the ... view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: I commend Sen. Wamatinga, he is a water expert engineer. You need this to become a Bill and be adopted. It must be mandatory for every household and institution to harvest their own water and have at least a water reservoir. Water should be purified and we have the intelligence of water use. The system can be used to know the amount of water being used in every household and then there should be a penalty for water misuse. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 8 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the issues raised. We will have meetings from tomorrow with the people from the County Assemblies Forum (CAF) in Nakuru. The policies are still on. We will give you a report by next week, God willing. view

• 30 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Statement by the Senator for Nandi. I know that is where there is a lot of maize. Therefore, he is also arguing for his farmers. This country has been experiencing food shortage and drought. Therefore, we need to have a serious food reserve. In other countries like Europe and the United States of America (USA) and all those places, ice covers the whole land with ice, but they have never gone hungry. Unfortunately, three or four months of drought in Kenya, Kenyans go hungry. Every time, you will see in ... view
