• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I come from the region that depends mostly on sugar; Chemilil, Chemase and Tinderet Sub-county. We also have Mosop Sub-County where we have just started planting sugar cane. We do have similar problems with the other sugar cane farmers. My brother, Sen. (Prof) Tom Ojienda SC, there was a Kenya Privatisation Commission. The nucleus of Chemilil, Miwani and other parts of nucleus was supposed to be privatized. I remember his party leader held a meeting in one of the hotels to the exclusion of farmers from Nandi County. That is why we are in ... view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate Minority Whip should listen to the debate keenly. Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda SC, never included the issue of privatization of the sugar sector in the Statement. Standing Order No. 53(2) says that the Speaker can allow additional comments. That is why I am requesting that when the Statement goes before the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries they should look at the issue of privatization of nucleus that affects the other places. view

• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Finally, on the issue of Kenya Sugar Bill that is before this Parliament, I think it is in the Senate, those are some of the issues that we must look at--- view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In an upshot, I am just giving additional information. The sugar Bill is before the Senate and we need to relook at it before the lapse of the last Session. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: We have running issues in Kericho County, where Sen. Cheruiyot comes from; Nandi, Kisumu, Kakamega, Vihiga and Bungoma counties. We need to relook at that issue because we are stakeholders in this sugar bill. As this matter comes before the House, we must look at the status of the Kenya Privatization Commission (KPC) on the privatisation of sugar companies. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: We know people who brought individuals from some areas and wanted to privatise sugar companies. In that privatisation, they wanted to give out Chemelil Sugar Company without telling us who was taking over and what they were going to do with it. We wanted that nucleus to remain as a sugar belt. Somebody would have taken the lease and maybe planted potatoes or tomatoes, yet that was not the wish of the farmers from Kisumu County. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: I am happy Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC is now facing and holding the bull by the horns. I am afraid that his Party Leader might not be on the same page with him but let us hope for the best in future. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to allow the House to proceed, could you rule that Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale are out of order as per the Standing Order 103. This is because what they are discussing are matters sub judice. We are aware that receivership proceedings are ongoing in court. They are bringing alive matters before this House. I request that you rule both Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale out of order. By the way --- view
