• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: need it. When we find the institutions are burning their own resources, it becomes tricky and there is really an issue then. We can get to the bottom of this issue and contribute as the Senate to our educational standards. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to appreciate Sen. Wambua for bringing this very exciting and insightful Bill. You can tell from the way he moved the Bill, the level of engagement and emotion that he has in terms of food security for this country; the passion to make things work and for us to realize that we are an agricultural society. Sincerely, almost 60 years later, agriculture should be working for us. Agriculture is working for countries like Sweden and Israel, and they are not even close to the potential that we have in Kenya regarding food ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: . I had asked somebody before I came what this Mung beans is and realized that it is ndengu . Once I heard ‘ ndengu’, everything came into context. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: takes about three months to grow. Within three months, you have a very good source of protein and vitamins. If very well combined in there, everything goes very well. Sometimes you look at the poverty of Kenyan farmers who have so much land, and there are only a few who know how to make very high scale development on their farms and they make a living.

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: It basically says that any permit or registration that has just happened before this Act shall be deemed to have been given, issued or made by the Authority as the case maybe under this Act. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: I am not so sure about that and what the legal experts have advised about this. It is almost saying that whatever has happened preceding this Bill becoming an Act, is taken as part of this Act. That is applying the law retrogressively. Is that not so? view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: I do not know what the context might be, but maybe Sen. Wambua might want to look at that Clause, so that it relates clearly to the application of this Act. At what point does application of this Act come putting in mind that he has dissociated it with the Crops Act? view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: When I initially went through Clause 20, I wondered why he dissociated ndengu from other crops. I think he explained himself as he was going on with this. I suspect that is the way legislation is now going to ensure that a specific crop is taken care of exhaustively. For example, we have The Tea Bill that came in the last Session. In the last Senate - 2013-2017 - we had Sen. Ongoro coming with The Coconut Bill. I think every crop has its own dynamics. view
