• 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

• 30 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I believe this Motion is moving to the right direction. As you are aware, this Senate represents the entire nation; the 47 counties. Having Senate in the mashinani and starting it from Turkana County is a very good move. Instead of having one Senate mashinani per year, I request the SBC or those who are concerned, to give opportunity to at least two counties every year so that at least by the end of time, we are able to visit eight counties and that represents the eight regions. I believe that will be a ... view

• 30 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this will give us a comparative study. People will get exposed. Twenty years ago, a place like Dubai was just a desert, but, today, everyone wants to go and see how developed Dubai is and its economy. Equally, Mandera, Marsabit and Wajir can have that kind of an opportunity to develop. Wajir, Marsabit and Turkana are not deserts, but arid areas. They are marginalized areas, which can be developed. Food can be produced there and livestock keeping can be improved. We can have good economic activities in those areas now that land in Kenya is shrinking ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Waziri, for coming. I think much has been said about Turkana. From Turkana all the way to Marsabit and Wajir, we believe that we have a lot of oil than the hydrocarbons like gas. I was told that a huge deposit was discovered in Wajir. What is the plan of your Ministry or the Government to explore more wells of hydrocarbons like gas? view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: , Wajir County has been experiencing power problems for the past 10 years. As I speak, Wajir residents have been in darkness for the past one week. Many leaders including us came to your office several times and we are always being promised. We cannot still be living in darkness. What is the plan of the Ministry and how soon can you solve that problem in Wajir? Just the other day, I was in your office but you were not there. I went to the Principal Secretary (PS) and we were promised a generator of 1.5 megawatts. However, up to ... view

• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the Motion for adoption of the Report. As you are aware, the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental relations visited Tharaka-Nithi County to analyze the situation as reported and found many things had been lacking. Most parts of the county are arid and semi-arid areas with very poor infrastructure. The headquarters in Kathwana are having a lot of challenges and problems. Kathwana lacks amenities for functional county headquarters among them good roads, electricity, hospitals, water supply, Huduma centers and so on. The Committee has recommended that for Kathwana to give service to ... view
