• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that many times, stakeholders sometimes feel that Members of Parliament have adjourned early but as you know, Members of Parliament work 24/7. There is nothing like recess because the recess only means that you do not come and debate in the Chamber but the work continues in very many places including counties and other engagements both here and perhaps internationally. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: I take this opportunity to wish all the Senators a very fruitful recess and all the very best as they execute their mandate and serve this country even outside of this Chamber. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: I second. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Cherargei on the stalled roads in Nandi. I would like to mention that, this Senate, not so long age through my good friend, Sen. Kibiru, highlighted projects to of almost Kshs400 billion that have collapsed both in counties and national Government. As a Senate, this is a very important Statement by Sen. Cherargei. It speaks not just to the roads that have been mentioned here in Nandi; the Danger, Kaiboi, and Cheptawai roads, but also this could be replicated by roads in our counties. We do not ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: can all attest to the fact that stalled projects are also forming a major part of the unpaid bills that we are facing today. I know the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report spoke to these issue as well. For those of us who have read, the fact that there are so many stalled projects that move from one resume of a governor to another, it is about time the Committee--- I should also commend the Committee because they are dealing with some of the issues I raised. The water projects, road projects and energy projects are all becoming a big ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by my Chairperson, Sen. Mwangi. This is a good Statement. It baffles me that many of the fundamentals of economics are not followed when it comes to food production in Kenya. How is it that when supply increases, the producer suffers? That said, one of the things view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: that is interesting is that the same reduction in the price of raw milk to the farmer does not trickle down to us when we buy from the supermarkets. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: This is not the only sector in which these kinds of warped economics are at play. We have seen this in every sector in this country and we wonder why Kenyan farmers and consumers continue to be punished even when other fundamentals of economics are meant to favour them. This is a very important sub-sector in the agricultural sector. I am told it contributes to almost 40,000 jobs and 4.5 per cent of the Gross Domestic Progress (GDP). However, even with all these important contributions, we find ourselves in a food crisis. I know in the next cycle of drought, ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Wario. Counties in Northern Kenya are all submerged. We have wards and entire sub- counties under water in Isiolo County. We went to the Cabinet Secretary to explain to him and show him photos. The same thing is happening in Wajir, Garissa, Tana River and Mandera. All those counties are under water. I worked for the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) for a very long time and I brought a Statement to this House early in the year, as part of an early warning system. The Statement ... view
