• 25 May 2023 in Senate: find a way out to ensure that we do not hold them unnecessarily in the prisons. I agree that we need to re-look at it. There are many young Kenyans who have been arrested because of loitering, disorderly conduct and consuming some things. Finally, on the issue of Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). The issues raised have been overtaken by events. I expected her to congratulate the President for doing a cleanup in KEMSA--- view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday when we wanted to contribute, time had run out. I also welcome the students who are in the Public Gallery. I hope they are following the debate keenly and learning a lot. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Cotton Industry Development Bill, 2023 is a very important Bill. We are looking at developing the capacity of farmers. In my County, 80 to 90 per cent of people entirely depend on farming crops such as tea, coffee, milk, among others. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: This Bill has come at a better time because we need to revive our industries. There used to be the Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI) and Rivatex. Rivatex is being revived in Eldoret. In the last dispensation, I remember the Indian Government gave around Kshs4 billion to revive Rivatex and KICOMI. If we revive these ginneries and textile processing, we will be able to do a lot with cotton. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nandi County and its neighbours have the potential to grow cotton. However, from the schedule that I see, they have become selective.

He normally says he is the Senator of the Republic of Kenya, but elected by the people of Busia County. I am happy the Chairperson, Sen.

• 25 May 2023 in Senate: sustainability. Looking at the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we should look for a way of subsidising production over consumption. That should be the real motivation going into the future. Cotton is a crop that can be grown in various parts of the country and it should be given the necessary attention. I am happy that the Senate has prepared a raft of legislative interventions to support farmers. We now have the Coffee Development Bill. I was telling the Chairperson of the Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sen. (Dr.) Murango, that his Committee is doing ... view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you can see the tourism, the main foreign exchange earners has collapsed because of COVID-19. We now need to revive agriculture to reclaim their position of giving us the highest foreign exchange. I congratulate Sen. Beth Syengo for this wonderful Bill. However, I wish to express a few reservations. For example, I have seen a provision that looks idol, but it will be very dangerous in the long run. Part III, Clause 23(1)(d)--- I am excited that the Senator for Nairobi City County is in the House today. Part III of the Bill is on the Role ... view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: “Each county government shall – Regulate the cutting or destruction of cotton in order to conserve and protect the resources devoted to the cotton industry in the prospective county.” Madam Temporary Speaker, if you remember, this is the provision we fought in the colonial Tea Act. It was criminal to cut tea plants. view
