• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have listened keenly and I was following the proceedings from the office. So that everyone goes home happy and excited, I withdraw and apologize. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I have seen the mood of the House. It is so sad that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for National Treasury and Planning has decided to disregard the Constitution. Our position as the Senate is clear that from the baseline of Kshs314 billion, we will not go down further than that. The Mediation Committee came down from Kshs335 to Kshs327 billion. Now that the mediation has collapsed, the Government should be shut down so that we can allocate more money to counties. I have heard the tired line from Members of the National ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we are in the process of auditing more than 15 legislations that were passed by the National Assembly without the input and concurrence of the Senate. That is the length we will go to, to fight in this House and out there in the corridors of justice in the Judiciary so that we can protect the integrity and the existence of this House for the benefit of Kenyans. Thank you. view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Nandi County Assembly for sending this Message. Out of the six sub-counties in my county, more than three quarter of them grow tea. This Message has come at the right time when we are considering The Tea Bill (Senate Bills No.36 of 2018) by Sen. Cheruiyot. As the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has promised, we need to process this Message expeditiously. There has been a big challenge on the use of the cess; the revenue collected from private companies, individuals and multinational companies that grow tea in our ... view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I fully support this Message and hope that it will be dealt with as Kenya and the rest of the world continue consuming the tea from my county. I thank you. view

• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: (i) THAT, since the Deputy Governor consistently absconded or deserted his duties to attend to his personal matters in United States of America (USA) at the expense of his national or county duties, the people of West Pokot have not gotten the value for money paid to the Deputy Governor since September 2017. (ii) THAT this matter has been raised with the Governor, Prof. Lonyangapuo, and the County Public Service Board and no satisfactory response or action has been issued or undertaken.

• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, the Senator for Uasin Gishu County, which is the single biggest maize producing county in the entire Republic. Of course, we have dairy, maize and tea farming, among others in Nandi County, but we also have maize, majorly in Chesumei and Mosop sub-counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support and thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar because this issue of maize has been a very serious one. I remember that an a d-hoc Committee was formed to discuss the maize crisis. It is shocking that we ... view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when you walk anywhere in Uasin Gishu, the economy of farmers, especially maize farmers be it in Nandi, Kitale or Trans Nzoia counties, the poorest of the poor in terms of farming are the maize farmers. However, many years ago, the richest farmers were those who were planting maize in this Republic. The staple food for the entire country is ugali, which is gotten through planting of maize. I expected my brothers, who are the ugali eaters, to be here. However, since Sen. Kwamboka, as a delegate from that area--- The more we ensure the scarcity ... view
