• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: I think the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, the Inspector-General of Police and the DCI should use more pragmatic ways than criminalizing the growing of maize in that area. When I saw that story being run by one of the leading media stations in this country, I thought it was a joke until I cross-checked with the communication from the Regional Commissioner of the Rift Valley where you and I come from. It was shocking because maize is one of the food crops Kenyans grow. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: I think there are better ways of fighting insecurity in that area than banning maize growing. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Maize continues to become one of our sources of livelihood. As we talk, our farmers are tilling their land in Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Nakuru and Trans Nzoia ready to plant. As I speak, we do not have fertilizer and maize seeds for planting. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: One of the Big Four Agenda of the President was food security. Therefore, the Government should facilitate the growing of food crops to ensure that we are food secure as opposed to banning growing of maize. It is ironical because that is one of the Big Four Agenda of the President. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: I advise the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, the Inspector-General of Police and the DCI not to sink too low until we run short of ideas on how to improve our security sector in this country. They should use community policing and Nyumba Kumi . The Government has the necessary machinery to address insecurity, rather than ban maize growing in that area in disguise of dealing with criminals. I do not believe it is the solution. Our farmers are preparing their land to plant maize, but it is unfortunate that the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir! view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Than you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On a light note, I hope that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., is aware of the consequences of going against the Government position. Sen. Kwamboka understands very well. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming colleagues from this long recess. I know that there have been many issues over the holiday. I thank you. From the onset, I have three issues: First of all is the issue of constitutional Petition. I am happy that one of the legislations that we did get an order of republishing was the Public Participation Bill. It was an honour to represent you today in the morning during the Open Governance Partnership (OGP) that was chaired by His Excellency (H.E), the Deputy President. One of the Bills that came to our attention ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: I agree that there are many Bills that are pending, and we hope that the Committees will fast track some of these issues that we believe in. We hope that the earth moves and earthquakes that we are experiencing as the Senate Majority Side, with many changes coming up--- I know it will be brought to your attention and will allow us to fast track the legislative business of the House. I hope, as a caucus - as we have been informed - we will endeavour to support where necessary, especially in the interest of Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, another ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: We had agreed to be ambitious. We are looking forward to Kshs370 billion. Even as we tell Kenyans that 35 per cent, for example, is achievable through some document called BBI, we should be able to devolve 15 per cent and allow counties to function. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to call upon your office to do orientation, especially for the Committee Chairs and their Vice-Chairs, so that when we seek Statements and Petitions, you want to give directions, they should always be in the House to take those directions. I am happy my Chair of the Committee on ... view
