• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Clause 3 is very important for this Bill because it lays the framework for what this Bill wants to do. It says- “The object of this Act is to— (a) provide a framework for the coordinated implementation of the national policies and strategies on the development and regulation of the mung bean industry” That lack of coordination, development and regulation that exists at the moment is probably what is contributing to it. “(b) facilitate and develop a framework to regulate and promote the development of the mung bean industry in Kenya in order to make it competitive at the international ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 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
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: This is very important because I know that for most farmers, it is very easy to grow and that is where people get discouraged. For example, if you went to Kilifi and Kwale counties in December, there were lots of mangoes that were growing. This is also the season for pineapples. Then what happens? People go with these fruits along the roads. They are sold at the cheapest prices possible and some of the fruits rot in the farms. One has no option but to try and sell them off. Farmer just want people to buy. As much as you ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand also to support the approval of Senators to serve in the SBC in this Session. Let me start by first thanking God that all of us have been able to come back safely and also to pray for the soul of our dearly departed Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka who passed away when we were on recess. I thank God for the responsibilities he has bestowed on us to serve this nation and pray that he will guide us to do the work ahead of us. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Looking at the names of the Members in this Committee, you can see they have served in different capacities and we are sure that they will do their work very well when we are finally actualizing the application of Article 110(3) of our Constitution. This article put in place a mechanism that allows the Senate to do something that we have tried to do for such a long time. Now there is a way to jointly resolve any question as to whether a Bill concerns counties or it is an ordinary Bill. We have been able to resolve that now ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: They are already republishing many of these Bills. Many of the Bills are already well known by most of the Members, and I hope that we will go through them quickly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that we always have the issue of time and allocation of time for the various activities that we do in the Senate. I know many times, even despite our Standing Orders, we take quite a bit of time on the Statements because they are also important. However, this ruling has come when we are left with about one and a half years to the ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If Sen. Faki had not been here, we would not have realized that there are a couple of Statements that miss out in Committees. Since he is here and has raised them, I have a feeling that the same thing might be happening in other Committees. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: I suggest that moving forward, we have a way that even as we make the reports to the House, we state all the Statements that have been received and then move on to tackle those that have been tackled at the Committee. That will help us avoid a gap within the House. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support, pursuant to Standing Order No. 24 (6), that the thanks of the Senate be recorded for the Exposition of Public Policy contained in the Address of His Excellency the President delivered on Thursday 12th November, 2020. The whole presentation that was done was eschewed within specific national values. We consider ourselves in terms of service to this country. These are key and they run across the whole Speech. They are the value of patriotism. Madam Temporary Speaker, USA for some time had tried to put a lot of effort in ensuring ... view
