• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. My question to the Cabinet Secretary will be very simple. In counties such as Kericho, Kisumu, Nandi, Bomet, Kisii and Nyamira, we are the home of sports. What is the strategy of the Ministry on enhancing sport tourism, because we have legends of sports such as Eliud Kipchoge, the maestro who is, of course, Faith Kipyegon, Amos Kipruto, among others? Hon. Cabinet Secretary, for the people who come from across the world and who would want to visit our sports legends, is there a way of enhancing sports tourism by establishing sports tourism centres, so ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: The question is conjoined like the siemese twins. In this western circuit, we have huge potential in tourism apart from sports and we even have animals in places such as the King’wal Swamp in Chesumei Sub-county. I thank you. view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I commend Sen. (Prof) Margaret Kamar for bringing this Motion of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA). This is a very important Association because it allows parliamentarians across the globe and our staff, the secretariat, to exchange the best practices of the precedents and development of parliaments across the world, especially in the African setup. As Kenya, we are proud to have a hybrid system of presidential and parliamentary systems. Therefore, it is important as African nations that we always come together to ensure we exchange best practices in legislative intervention, legislative programming and even managing ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: 10 and 118 of the Constitution of Kenya, parliamentary processes and public participation forms an integral part. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am happy you attended the session where His Excellency President Dr. William Ruto came and launched the Fifth Action Plan of Open Governance Programme. Apart from the issues at the Executive and Judiciary, we are now moving to legislative integrity, openness and public participation in terms of legislative programme. I ask Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and the team here in Parliament that let us also encourage other nations and parliaments of Kenya and across the world, even the East Africa ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: amendments to guarantee minimum returns legislation are lying in the National Assembly. I challenge our county assemblies. Let us be honest, if we want to do food security. Let us first track the Bills that touch on farmers. Many of the Bills from the Senate would have assisted because agriculture is devolved under the Fourth schedule of the Constitution. Most of our Bills belong to the agriculture sector. Murang’a County where Sen. Joe Nyutu and yourself come from are majority farmers. The National Assembly has become a graveyard for our Bills, especially the Agricultural Bills just because their leadership is ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: The Governor decided to hire mother and siblings, political masseuse and political soloist and put them on the payroll of Nandi. Even as investigations are still ongoing, I was shocked by the statement made by Nandi County Criminal Investigations Officer (CCIO), Peter Ochieng Ogola, saying that investigations were concluded, but the Governor was not aware. He has not told the county whether the Governor has recorded a statement on the matter or not. We should not be selling justice to the highest bidder. I call upon the Internal Affairs Unit of the National Police Service (NPS) to investigate the CCIO ... view
• 24 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to react to the statement made by the Chairperson of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is disappointing that the issue of capacity and ability of committees is dysfunctional. As the Chair of the Liaison Committee, I expect you to intervene on this matter. Sen. Faki had requested for a kamukunji. I hope we can discuss this matter. Finally, I needed an update from the Chairperson of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the issue of bonus. I come from Nandi County and there are areas such as Vihiga, Kakamega, Nyamira, Kisii, ... view
• 24 Sep 2024 in Senate: I appeal to the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to tell the country what really is happening about the bonuses. view
• 24 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I have seen in the statement that he has talked about the Kenya Tea Development Agency. Therefore, the issue of tea matters is in his statement that was presented today. Additionally, our committees should take judicial notice of what is happening. I thought that has been the thumb rule of committees, although I know we have got a lot of expectations from the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. I thank you. view
• 24 Sep 2024 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
