• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. As much as we appreciate the Statement by the hon. Senator from Kitui, I would like to inform the House of the terrible drought and famine. Those camels belong to Kenyans. Therefore, we would appreciate if they are taken care of by our brothers and sisters in Kitui. view
• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: This is a resource for all Kenyans. If we discover oil in Wajir County, we will not discriminate whether one comes from Kitui or Wajir. Equally, those animals have the right to graze in those places. With due consideration, I request the Senator of Kitui, Sen. Wambua, to be lenient and consider the situation. Today, those animals are faced with death, the owners stressed with famine and they need to keep the animals alive. Therefore, we will appreciate the people of Kitui County and Ukambani at large. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. The President of the Republic of Kenya talked about 52 issues within a very short time. He talked eloquently and with a lot of vigour, which made the Speech to be seen as very short. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: The President started by asking for cooperation between legislators of the two Houses; the National Assembly and the Senate. The President’s Speech gave hope to the young, upcoming politicians and the minority of Kenyans. If I may quote, with your permission, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir; “With the support of Kenyans, we have dislodged ethnicity as a central organising principle of our politics. In Kenya, the sitting Deputy President became the candidate of opposition and leader of opposition became the candidate for the Government. As things would be, the opposition candidate won the election and became the President of the view

• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Republic of Kenya and the President became the leader of Opposition. This is the beauty of democracy”. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: This has given us a lot of hope because issues of dynasties are now over and every Kenyan has the opportunity of becoming the President of this country. Adding to that, he also asked the two Chambers to work together for the interest of this country and deliver for the people of Kenya. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another thing that is a concern to me is that today, 3.5 million Kenyans are facing drought and famine. Many Kenyans in 23 counties do not have food to eat. This has been the precedent in this country in the past Governments and even today. This country has enough resources and even the marginalised areas can produce enough food for the country. I can assure you that is only possible if we give enough attention and resources to the Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country will grow by ... view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: His Excellency the President talked about developing water through Public Private Partnership (PPP). The PPP for the crucial areas such as Northern Kenya, will not work well. Therefore, priority should be changed. There is enough water. Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Tana River and Turkana mostly depend on subsurface water. Tana River is a big river that flows 24/7 through Garissa and Tana River counties. Gallons of water flow into the ocean every second. That water can be tapped and diverted for food production. It can be used to take care of the people who are now having water problems. I do ... view
