• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. We feared that we would have problems in our request that we reject the proposal of the National Assembly. However, I proudly notice that Members have unanimously agreed with the Committee, with reasons. The only rider that I would like to add in response is a presentation from the Senator of Vihiga County who said that, the reason why money finds too long to reach the counties is because of inefficiency in the office of the Controller of Budget (CoB). Madam Temporary Speaker, that is not true. The Controller of Budget is very efficient. The ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. It is impressive that the Sen of Bungoma is barely two years old in this House but you can see the way he has moved this Bill so ably. I congratulate him but it is not surprising because he shares the same Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with Henry Pius, Masinde Muliro, the freedom fighter and one of the founding fathers of this nation. view

• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am very happy for what has happened in the National Assembly and what I am hearing about this Bill in this House. I am extremely happy for the industry of the Committee because they went around the country--- I remember when they came to Western, I was traveling to Kigali. I cut short my trip and joined them in Kakamega. I made my contribution and our people made their contribution and I can see all those contributions included in this Bill. Being a very happy day for me, allow me to congratulate them, and also congratulate ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: The next important thing that members of the public should rejoice is on the issue of the re-establishment of the Sugar Board. The Sugar Board, before it was removed by the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) law, was responsible for regulation of this industry and everybody was a winner. Since it went away, we have had problem after problem and we are glad that it is back and this Bill gives it the responsibility to regulate, develop and promote the sugar industry. Secondly, the Board will be expected to coordinate the activities of the value chain actors within this important ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, sugarcane farmer’s organizations in the name of Mumias Sugar Company Out-growers Organization, (MOCO), the Nzoia Sugar Company Out-growers Organization (NOCO) and all other out-grower’s factories, have collapsed back home because of the challenge of funding. Now, with five per cent available, if the people in Mumias can hear me, through this law, we are going to help you to revive MOCO, which was the lifeline to farmers. There is the issue of quality, safety, and health control measures. The law has demanded that all sugar millers and importers shall ensure that all sugar produced locally or imported ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: going to take care of your cattle and so, you will meet him next week. So that you raise your stakes. This is what competition was meant to do. I am so excited and happy. I thank the National Assembly and the Mediation Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, I Second. view

• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: It is unprecedented, to the extent that when we stand down business in this House, it normally arises from a Communication from the Chair that you have temporarily, for a specific time, suspended the proceedings. You have not done this and we are seated in the Chamber with the Mace in place. I do not know whether we want this to be the new standard. Could you guide us? We have no idea how long we will wait and time is running out. view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question is to Dr. Mulwa. I can attest that the number you have put here, through which His Excellency the Deputy President pressured you, relates well with me because in the days we used to talk with him, I used to use the same number. Your evidence is so critical that we would like you to walk us through that conversation between the Deputy President and yourself, during which he was putting pressure on you. Counsel Tom Macharia, you are a man with many years of experience and you know the hierarchy of laws. ... view
