• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said today. I have not said that you are not an active Member. I am happy that the Nairobi City delegation is doing very well. I want to make an observation on two things. I want to request that the Committee that this matter will be referred to, to ask the Government what issues, especially the subsidies they have given to farmers.
