• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Ninamuunga mkono ndugu yangu, Sen. Faki. Ninafikiri hata sisi tunaotoka sehemu zinazopanda mahindi, tunataka pia maghala ya mahindi yawe katika mji wa Eldoret. Tukifanya hivyo, itasaidia kuleta uwiano mzuri, agenda kubwa, na azma na lengo nzuri la ugatuzi katika taifa la Kenya.

• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support this Motion and I believe that it will be passed quickly. I want to thank the Speaker and the entire Senate because you gave us an onerous duty of midwifing the process for which we went to court today and we are proud of you. Thirdly, I want to say that I support this Motion because our counties need more money than ever before. We should be given the amount of Kshs335 billion and we should not cede the ground even on one cent. We must stand with the counties ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: demand for accountability and transparency for some of these resources. I think the enemies of devolution are now regrouping. Therefore, as the Senate, if we allow this Procedural Motion not to succeed and more money is not added to the counties, then it means we will be allowing the counties and even the Senate to be wound up under our watch. Madam Temporary Speaker, the law is very clear under Article 153 (3). I have seen some Members of the other House saying that Cabinet Secretaries do not have any business coming to the Senate Committees and the Senate itself. ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I want to thank my neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, for that Statement. I know that the issue of maize has been with us for the past few days because the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation indicated that they wanted to import maize, so as to protect the eaters of ugali .

• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: The insinuation is that if maize is not imported, the prize of maize flour will continue going up. We do grow maize in the North Rift. The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation reported that we had a bumper harvest of 46 million bags of maize. The big question then is: Why should we import maize when we are only two or three months away from harvest? I happened to be in Hamisi on Sunday, where I ate boiled maize and saw others being dried. It is unfortunate that the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation wants to import maize, yet the ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Committee. My Committee on Justice Legal Affairs and Human Rights was to make a follow up with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on the investigations and vetting of farmers because a total of Kshs4.5 billion was supposed to be paid to the farmers. I agree that in liaison with the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, which is led by Sen. Ndwiga, we need to follow up on various recommendations that were made by the Adhoc Committee. The genesis of the 2017 maize issues was the two gazette notices that were published. ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: more than 50 years of age, and that is unfortunate. We have to stop the use of agrarian system of agricultural farming in this country. We have to look for ways of making the young people appreciate farming. We can use modern technology to produce more. That is what we are looking forward to. We do not want Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) to get into the country. Instead, we can have a better way of improving the quality of maize or any other crops by involving the younger farmers. The entire North Rift and the other regions that plant maize ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the vetting process has been very tedious. It is good that you come from Samburu County. You know that there are many young people who lease land in the North Rift and other maize growing areas, but do not have the ownership. Why is the NCPB introducing stringent measures that are only meant to stifle young people from participating in the production of maize or any other production in this country? view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: My colleague, Senators, I urge that we assist the maize farmers because all of us are ugali eaters in this country. view
