• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish Sen. Olekina was here early enough because the Senate Majority Leader made serious comments on the Floor of the House about the performance. I know he was listening but he just wants to play to the gallery because we were being told the other day that the cost of fertilizer---. I am a farmer and I represent farmers. It is a fact because majority of my voters are farmers just like in Narok where he comes from. We believe that it is under the “hand shake” government that fertilizer has gone to Kshs7,000. They are ... view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, nitamjibu kwa Kiswahili. Amesema view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Okay, my apologies. What I am saying in a nutshell is that the cost of living and everything--- I want Kenyans to know this because I heard that there is a proposal of increasing to 40 percent. Us, we are pushing for “bottom up” where we invest more on that level. What I am saying in an upshot is that let us stop this playing to the gallery. The cost of living, the cost of fertilizer has gone up. Whether the Senate Deputy Minority Leader or Senator for Narok likes it or not, they are in Government. They should intervene ... view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a few comments on the report that our able Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, has presented before the House. Last week, I made an impartial appeal that we must have a seamless engagement with the CoG and other stakeholders regarding the issue of ECDE teachers, so that we can have a harmonized scheme of service. I was in the House when the Sen. Sakaja-led Committee tabled a report. I am happy that Sen. (Dr.) Milgo’s committee has given us a raft of recommendations. One of them is to ensure we ... view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: centres, but with demoralized teachers. Remember they lay the foundation of our children. ECDE centres are important. They are like daycare givers. You will find a child of two or three years going to the playgroup. They do not even know how to use toilets or take care of themselves. In short, it is the ECDE teachers who co-parent. Therefore, they have a unique place in our society. I know for Nandi County we do not have enough ECDE centre. It has been a challenge because if we had a proper ECDE centre, our children could even learn through the ... view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the proposed introduction of automated tea plucking machines to farmers in Nandi and in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State why the Government has resolved to introduce the automated tea plucking machines to farmers without considering that thousands of manual labourers will be rendered jobless if these tea plucking machines are introduced in our estates, in Nandi Hill Constituency and other parts in Nandi and across the country. (2) Provide the exact ... view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform Sen. Sakaja that in that Statement, there is the aspect of labour. As at now, when you go to Nandi Hills Constituency, most of the young people are now standing on the road sides because there is an introduction of tea plucking machines which are very heavy. They capture chameleons and all the dirt. It is not the same as plucking using the hands. Therefore, the quality of our tea will also go down. My worry when tea plucking machines are introduced in parts of Nandi Hills Constituency and Nandi County, ... view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is hard to speak after one of the best chairpersons of CPAIC that we ever had in our term and in the history of the Senate. I have read some of the recommendations. They are very serious and if we were to implement--- I want to wish him well in his future endeavors. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish him well. I think he was very effective and they made good recommendations as a Committee. He has spoken well. Before I was elected, there is a matter I once took to Eldoret High Court where the Nandi County Government then tried internal borrowing. There was a circular issued by the National Treasury that no county would borrow a loan locally or internationally without a guarantee from the national Government. That matter was settled by the Eldoret High Court. view
