• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, the Senate Majority Leader. That is exactly the point. The mischief by the newspaper was a lack of clarity. The clarity is a follows. There is enough cane for West Kenya to mill and support the Kshs24 billion economy in its area. Enough for Butali Sugar to mill and support the Kshs10 billion economy. Enough for Mumias to support Kshs40 billion because Mumias also uses Busia farmers. So they have got a bigger catchment area. Now, to run the ethanol plants, dear Kenyans which is in Mumias, to run Ecogen plant which is in Mumias, you need raw ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: MCAs were carrying twigs, but they were chased away like dogs. I do not think they will try again. So, the leader of the majority, matters are now clear and it is good for Kenya. Do you know why? Mumias Sugar Company produced 100,000 tonnes in the last 12 months. In the process, Kenya, which was being faced with a sugar deficit of 200,000 metric tonnes, Mumia Sugar Company reduced that shortage by 50 per cent. Therefore, the other factories contributed to the fact that we have not imported sugar at this time. So, it is not something you can ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: Yes, we were with you at that rally. After he said mambo matatu, the same Rai quickly ran out of court. This is how the sugar factory became profitable. Thank you, Mr. President. Receive the greetings of the people of Kakamega. Mr. President, there is a young man in Kakamega who you allowed the privilege of being a Cabinet Secretary despite his limitations. Rai is using him to confuse. Rai, please, note that Rashid is not our leader. Rashid Mohammed cannot be our leader. Rashid is not competent enough to lead Dr. Bonnie Khalwale? No! If farmers have a choice, ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to Second this important Bill, as moved by Sen. Okenyuri. A Bill whose purpose is to establish a legal framework for the promotion of civic education in Kenya and make it an essential tool for building responsible citizenship is a Bill whose time is now. Members of the public would like to be consulted by their representatives when those representatives make decisions on their behalf. However, they do not want to take the responsibility of being prepared, so that when they meet their representatives, they can articulate issues within the framework of ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: This was done without public participation. Why would people of Mukhulunya want to move from freehold to leasehold on ancestral property so as to attract payment of land rates? Why would the people of Maiyakhalo, Butsotso from Shieywe Ward, ever support this kind of thing? Had there been this wisdom as moved by Sen. Okenyuri where there is civic education, then the citizens of Kakamega County would not only have been given an opportunity, but would take responsibility by telling those Members of County Assembly (MCAs), “do not dare.” How do you ask people to pay rates? You are a ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: I said, this great guy. You know, when you say great guy- -- view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: I thank you. I know it is debatable, but since the Senator is not shooting on a point of order, he probably loves being called a great guy. He is an The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: admirer of Donald Trump. Donald Trump would call you, a great guy, meaning that you are really impressive. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is the route we are walking. I go to the countryside and see people in yellow buses being taken to the county headquarters. When you ask, who are these people? They tell you they are being dropped for public participation at the headquarters. It is being done at Isolio grounds in Shinyalu, Lumakanda grounds in Lugari, or Nangili in Likuyani constituency. When the people go there, the guy coming to invite them for public participation, is himself ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: followed by Baringo, Kakamega, Siaya, Bungoma, Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu, Nandi and Kisumu. I do not know what happened in my community. This is not a tribal statement. We all belong to some communities. I do not know where Masinde Muliro is and whether sometimes his bones turn in the grave or he wakes up and weeps. I do not know whether Martin Shikuku, Michael Kijana Wamalwa and George Kapten Welime turn because of this kind of rubbish. In this short list of shame, our two major counties, the biggest being Kakamega followed by the second biggest which is Bungoma, ... view
• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are dissecting this vanity of people wanting to die millionaires or billionaires. If you ask the young clerk at the desk here called Daniel and give him a state-of-the-art car, he will want to buy it at Kshs50 million. That is a new model of Range Rover Rogue. With Kshs50 million, he will have gotten the best car in the world. You have not finished even Kshs200 million. So, what is this vanity? Why can they not be like the distinguished Senator, now the former Governor of Uasin Gishu? He lives a happy life. We ... view
