• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: My apologies, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to inform my learned Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni, that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) appeared before us yesterday, and they have given us those statistics. As I said when I was talking earlier on, there are documents that were given to us by IPOA, although some are in confidence.

• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I rise to support this Petition on recognition of graduates in Range Management and Animal Production courses to treat animal diseases. For some of us who come from areas where we rely heavily on animal production for milk, animal health is very critical. When the animal is healthy, the milk and meat production will be quite high. This Petition is timely. In our counties, especially where the farmers come from, we have an inadequate number of extension and veterinary officers that assist farmers with advice that safeguards the health and productivity of the animal. This ... view

Seeing that the agricultural sector is one of the devolved functions, we should encourage counties to ensure that we increase the various professionals that provide extension services to our farmers. This is not only for animal production but for other production that occurs in farming. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is right that this recognition is given so that counties can be self-reliant. This is because in northern ... view

Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, from where I come from in Nandi, I am proud of Nandi County because out of 30 Members of County Assembly (MCAs), five are elected female MCAs. That is what we should encourage. My neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar--- view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, out of 30 MCAs in Nandi, five of them were elected women; and we are very proud of it because it is unique. My neighbouring Senator for Uasin Gishu County is a woman of prolific profile; Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Kamar. Of course, she might become the future Governor of Uasin Gishu County.

Kihika, my leader, Sen. Dullo and all women. This is ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity.

Yesterday, I heard some people say that locusts were seen in Muhoroni Sub- County, which is in my neighbouring Kisumu County. I am their neighbour at Chemase. We are worried that the locusts menace might spread across the country and that is a threat to ... view
