• 2 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion by Sen. Ongoro. As the Mover has stated, coconut farming has critical importance on the economy of peasant farmers at the Kenyan Coast some of which include cooking oil. She talked about the medicinal value, the mnazi drink, which I normally like to drink whenever I go to the coast. There is also the issue of makuti roofing and construction poles among others. I remember when we visited Indonesia, we went to the beaches. Structures there are constructed using bamboo posts and makuti . They look very beautiful and attractive ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendment which is urging the national Government to set aside a national fund for the purpose of coconut farming. This is similar to what the Government is doing in the agricultural sector by subsidizing the price of fertilizer for the farmers so that they are able to buy fertilizer at a low cost. This proposal for the Government to set up a fund is similar to what is happening in the other sectors. I support the amendment. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view

• 24 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that our country is in a very big crisis, in that everyday we hear of people dying. One wonders what the Government is doing about this, because it has the responsibility to protect the citizens. As leaders on this side, we are saying that things out there are bad and our friends on the other side are saying that we are politicizing the matter. We do not write stories in the media, but you will find reports everyday about insecurity. This should concern us, ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion on education, science and technology. This Motion is very important and should have come as early as yesterday. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Motion is asking the Government to put up boarding facilities, so that we can accommodate school going children in arid and semi- arid areas. As the Mover said, 80 per cent of Kenya’s land comprises of arid and semi- arid areas. These are regions which have been disadvantaged in the past. We are aware that most of these counties, including Marsabit, Wajir and Turkana are ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Mover of the Motion for having a very good idea in bringing up this Motion in this House. It is very important because when you read the terms of the Motion, it is actually urging the national Government to strengthen the relations with and engage with the UN more. This means that it is already happening, but we could do better. If the Government did better, we are going to get more job opportunities for our Kenyan military and even more training because when you give our military the exposure, ... view

• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question was very clear. I stated “foreigners from neighbouring countries”. I think he has inserted the word “counties” to mislead the House. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a copy of my Statement which you signed and I quote:- “(d) confirm if there were any foreigners from neighbouring countries who were allocated land and the impact of this on insecurity in Trans Nzoia.” view
