Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join you on behalf of my colleagues to welcome our beautiful girls from Moi Girls High School. Their performance has been exceptional. They are lucky to be in the Chamber when we are discussing a critical Motion on water. I hope we are not encouraging them to be taking ‘passport’ showers as Sen. Mungatana has alluded to. We love you and wish you well. We want you to succeed and we are praying for you. You are the future of this nation. You are lucky because you study in the Capital City of the Republic ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not know why Sen. Maanzo is doubting my seniority as a ranking Member of this House. He can easily consult senior youth, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu, to confirm. From the onset, I congratulate Sen. Tabitha Mutinda for this wonderful Bill. She is a member of the Nairobi Delegation. Many people think that somebody from Nairobi would not be interested in agriculture.

I am happy she is the first among the equals. She has led us on the issue of agriculture which largely affect counties like where I come from, in Nandi County. I would like to commend and congratulate her because she is cutting a niche in the legislative world and parliamentary procedures. She is a trailblazer in women leadership in the country. I see there are a number of girls in the Public Gallery. She is, therefore, an inspiration to the young students following the proceedings from the Public Gallery. On the issue of agricultural extension services, when most of ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to co-mingle and come together so that we are able to do research and transfer of technology. Where I come from, there is what we call ‘ Sixchoge’ where you get the best maize and hang it in your store and thereafter plant it. We want Kenya Seed to give us the best variety. We have to appreciate that climate change is real. The country just moved back from one of the worst droughts that we have ever seen in history. How do we get better seeds and hybrid seeds in terms of maize ...

We need to tell the owners of multinational companies even if they are in London and are powerful, whoever they are, that they cannot muzzle and intimidate leaders from speaking against tea plucking machines taking the jobs of our young people and men. We shall speak the truth. We want to ask the Ministry of Interior and National Administration - CS (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki is my very good friend and my elder brother, that this is not a security issue. This is a societal matter. How do you feel when you walk to Chepkunyuk trading centre, Imani trading centre, Nandi ...

My apologies Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am told in Kikamba ‘Kitindinyo’ means a different thing. Where I come from and where the Temporary Speaker comes from in the South Rift and North Rift, it means the men who came crawling around your homestead and they found around swamps. I think that is the explanation. The word ‘Selele’ is the bag. I know polythene bags are banned in the country. However, ‘selele’ is a polythene bag that you would knock the door with when you want
