• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of agriculture, farmers face many challenges. We have faced many challenges in the sugar sector because the nucleus of Tinderet and Mosop have a lot of sugar but we do not have the necessary support and we need that to be fixed. On the tea sector, reforms are ongoing but I wanted NADCO to provide a way out. We need to make farming attractive. According to statistics, the average farmer is around 60 years. Where is the future of farming and we need food security in this country? This means that we must make ... view

• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thirdly, NADCO became selfish because it only addressed the agenda of the Senate and the National Assembly. What happened to the Ward Development Fund (WDF) and what shall we do with Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs)? We devolved billions of shillings to Vihiga County, but do MCAs have the capacity to oversight the Governor of Vihiga or even Nandi? Where did the WDF go to? view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: I know the President has signed the financial autonomy of county assemblies, but what about their welfare? In the principle of the Salaries Remuneration Commission (SRC), governors earn over Kshs1million, but MCAs earn Kshs80,000. How can they oversight when they do not have that capacity? Therefore, we must give MCAs the necessary capacity, look at their welfare and the WDF. We should not be selfish. It is important that we give them support as well. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the fourth issue is on party hopping. I know Article 91 of the Constitution, but we should be careful so that we do not eat into the political freedom of association. This issue is a serious one, but it should not be misinterpreted to curtail and prevent the growth of democracy in this country. You have been a Secretary- General of a ruling party and if we say that Sen. Cherarkey should not be seen sitting with Sen. Onyonka because someone somewhere will say that they have ditched their coalitions, then we are threatening the growth, expansion ... view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: I agree that on the issue of elections, 21 days are enough to allow parties to submit. I do not know why these people want to audit the 2022 presidential elections. President (Dr.) Ruto won fairly and squarely. Hon. Raila Odinga lost and we are looking for a job for him in the African Union (AU). Therefore, everything is going on as planned. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I saw Sen. Wambua in a meeting somewhere on Sunday, but let us push to ensure that Hon. Raila Odinga becomes the AU Chairperson and then mtajipanga na Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka. I did not see anything yet we talked about corruption, especially in counties. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it means that “we” people of goodwill except Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta. To conclude on the issue of corruption--- view

• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: I am well guided, Madam Temporary Speaker. Finally, and on corruption, our counties are choking with it. We must agree that the issue of governance-- - view
