• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I was not called. Had they called me, I would have told them that I am the Member for Garissa Township and not the Member for Dujis. So, this is about optics and not whether a Member will come back. It is about perception. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me go on record that the 11th Parliament, at the tail-end, passed an amendment making miraa a cash crop. Also, the 11th Parliament appropriated close to Kshs1 billion for its marketing. Even a task force was formed and the Report must be in this House. A select committee led by Hon. Kareke Mbiuki tabled it. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The Member is right because he is following up on those pledges. There are three crops in this country which are politically sensitive. They are maize, miraa and sugar. I can give my history that miraa also gave us a problem when we were passing the defence agreement between Britain and Kenya. In fact, Hon. Kajuju was the only Member who was allowed to form a select committee in the 11th Parliament. This House has a moral duty. Why did Somalia and the British Government stop miraa? This is because they want to protect their people. There are those of ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: you are talking about is cheap. It is Kshs20. I think what the Member is asking is right because he is following the recommendations of the taskforce and the money budgeted by this House. He has legitimacy because it is this House that made it a cash crop. So, you are right and I think the Committee must answer those questions. Then, somebody else must also bring this because Hon. Pukose as a medical practitioner, there is no doubt… Let me disclose that the time we were making it a cash crop, it was just close to the elections. As ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Even when the locusts went to Meru and fed on the miraa on their way to Uganda, they all died. You check just to prove that this is a drug. The locusts moved from Isiolo to Marsabit and by the time they reached Meru and fed on the green leaves of muguka on their way to Uganda through Kitale, they all died. In fact, the Government did not invest anymore in spraying them. I think one way of controlling locusts is to use miraa. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I think the Member has legitimately stated, according to the provisions of the Standing Orders. He has asked the Committee three key questions. What happened to the money? Where the task force report recommendations are? Is miraa a cash crop? I think as Hon. Mbadi has said, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: he will not allow his children to eat miraa. We should not allow the children of Kenya… I think Hon. Kubai must have had miraa because… view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: With those very many remarks, I support the petition. view

• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. The budget-making process is time-bound. If you read this Report, you will find that the CRA submitted its recommendation to the Senate on the 30th April, 2019. Therefore, the Senate took too long. However, the Senate has no problem. Those of us who come from the pastoral areas, when it comes to resources - even as little as pasture - people fight. We are fighting Uganda even for the fish in Migingo Island. Therefore, when a matter is about resources, the Senate has not committed any crime. People in ... view
