• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: You know Sen. Kinyua is still in Kenya School of Law. He should be very kind. Under Standing Order No.104, my brother, Sen. Ojienda, has started it very well. He has just disclosed partially his interests, but the Standing Order is specific that he should tell us the pecuniary and proprietorship interest; he should first declare. So, you need to tell us how much you are being paid to represent the company. As per Standing Order No.104--- view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just for order, we are following keenly Sen. Kinyuas’ Statements, which are on roads and the issue of title deeds. This is not in the Order Paper. Could we be guided properly? view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to contribute to the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bills No.34 of 2022). I know it originated from the National Assembly. I think it goes in line with what we called a sugar industry stakeholders task force report in 2018/2019. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a concern, have you noticed that one television sets in Chamber on both sides are going on and off? I think we need to check with the supplier or the concerned people. It is good that the Parliamentary Service Commissioner is in the House. It impedes your visitors ... view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: think that is a small thing. It is basic courtesy. As the Vice-Chairperson of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), I cannot visit Meru without informing you, as the area Senator. My people in Nandi County are not happy because, we are entrenching the perception that sugarcane is only grown in Kisumu, Vihiga and Kakamega counties. It is very unfortunate. Most of those mills are sustained by the cane supply from Nandi County. On the second point, I know there are many challenges on the issue of sugarcane development, processing, milling and farmers. Most sugarcane farmers in Western Region and ... view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: services to the county and national government. We even have the pricing committee so that farmers are given a better price as per their supply. On the issue of factory maintenance; you remember sometime in this country, we were told that there is scarcity of sugar because some factories are undergoing maintenance. I would have expected that we ensure there are best practices. On the issue of weighbridges, we have had cases where they are being tempered such that farmers do not get value of the cane they deliver. I expected that there is Sugar Board, which has been captured ... view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: start-ups. We need to encourage more young people if they can get a way of establishing millers. In the past, the issue of sugarcane milling or opening sugar factories was an exclusive of some individuals. Clause 19 has brought contention where it reads that a miller shall not purchase or accept. This one is zoning. I have seen the Committee report and they are not saying there is exclusive zoning. I am happy because exclusive zoning would have meant a specific farmer for a specific miller after contractual obligation. However, we must also fight cane poaching. This is because, at ... view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: ceremonies that happen around December. We must be respected and Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda SC, should note that with a lot of concern because we might come for legal representation. view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree on the issue of traceability of industrial sugar. Let us avoid it so that we do not see what happen many years ago on mercury and the other impounded sugar. I would like to conclude because I only have five minutes. To us, sugar is serious business. The day they will be discussing the issue of sanitary pads, we will not interfere because it will be a concern at that point. On the issue of court orders and the issue of power, the law should be followed. I agree, but I will be keen ... view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum Mheshimiwa Chirchir, for always working in silence and doing wonders. He is one of the Cabinet Secretaries who normally works in silence, but he is very effective and efficient. Mine is just a brief question. Waziri, could the faulty transformers be causing regular power outages? Over the weekend, I was in Kapcherop Township. In that township, they can go up to two days without electricity. Closely related to that, when you go to a place called Kabwareng and Terik Ward, if some of your ... view
