• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Nyandarua County is very strategic. There are many people who would want to access the market in Nairobi City County, Nakuru and other parts of the country. We want to create easy access to markets. So, we must allow infrastructure to co-exist with wildlife. Mr. Speaker, Sir, NEMA should stop activism at the expense of the livelihoods of the people and the economy of Nyandarua. A farmer suffers the most in this country. They could be potato, maize, cashew nuts, sugarcane or coffee farmers. Farmers continue to be frustrated when we do not allow them to have access to good ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know there are roads that pass through national parks in the coast region. What we should be pushing for is peaceful co-existence between the wildlife and people because this road will allow tourism to thrive in that area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for the wisdom. Please, I urge all of us, as a Parliament, that we must put in place mechanisms to protect the farmers. If you travel outside this country, you cannot carry even one seedling because you will be arrested and prosecuted. Why is that? It is because they are ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. Firstly, I thank Sen. Kathuri for this Statement. Where I come from, Nandi County, is called the ‘Source of Champions’. About 99 per cent of the youth there depend on sports. If you kill sports, you kill the youth in my county. We had sports funds.

• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Fund as a subsidy. I saw the Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ababu Namwamba meeting with various Federations. The problem is the Federations which must hold elections have taken ten years to hold elections. Therefore, it means there is nothing innovative that they are bringing to the table. The World Cup is ongoing in Qatar but we are just spectators. The problem starts with the management and governance of sports in this country. From the look of things if we do not work hard, the only time the Kenyan football team would appear on an international stage may be during the ... view

• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I do not know why my neighbor Sen. Osotsi is on fire. You need to direct the catering and facility services to investigate what Members are eating. This is because the Senator is on fire today which is unusual of him. I rise to support this Motion. One of the people who suffer the most in this country is a farmer. We have left the farmers at the vagaries of demand and supply without protection mechanisms in place. The reason the current president of Brazil - who defeated the Trump of ... view

• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: If you travel to many of these countries, you will not be allowed to play with a farmer. A farmer is next to God because they are the people who feed a nation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion by the Sen. Gataya Mo Fire of Tharaka Nithi County is timely because this is the time we are discussing about food security. I appreciate that there are four million Kenyans suffering from hunger. We agree that counties are affected by drought and famine. This is a climate change phenomenon but it is our mistake for refusing to plan. Agriculture was ... view
