• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely: Ruth Chepng’etich’s incredible performance in shattering the women’s Marathon World record and the overall superb performance of the Kenyan team at the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, 13th October, 2024. Once again, our athletes have brought glory to our country. Ruth Chepng’etich broke the women’s marathon world record at the same event where the late legend, Kevin Kiptum set the men’s marathon world record last year in Chicago. He also run under two hours. Ruth Chepng’etich ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: was followed by Ethiopia’s Mohamed Esa who finished at 2:04:39 and our own who is also my good friend and neighbour in Nandi, the home of champions, Amos Kipruto, in the third position at 2:04:50. Other Kenyans, Vincent Kipng’etich and Daniel Ebenyo also finished strongly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was also dis-heartening to witness a section of the media across the world, castigating unwarranted doubts and aspersions on our athletes; questing their integrity and accusing them of doping without following the due process. These are established standards and procedures including multiple anti-doping tests conducted before and after major competitions. Ruth ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was on Clause 19. I would like to continue thanking your office for the support through the Secretariat and also our colleagues in the National Assembly on this mediation version of the Sugar Bill of 2024. I would like to assure farmers, especially our sugarcane-growing farmers from Migori, Kwale, Nandi, Kericho, Kakamega, Busia, Kisumu counties, and wherever they are, including Trans Nzoia County, that this is a farmer’s best interest mediation version of the Bill, on the Sugar Bill. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: I would like to also thank the Senate Majority and Minority leaders for ensuring that we got nominated to the Mediation Committee. We shall not forget their favour, before the eyes of the Lord. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Clause 19, we agreed that a miller shall not purchase sugar crop from or accept sugar crop delivered by a grower, and a grower shall not sell or deliver sugar crop to a miller unless the grower is registered or has a valid supply agreement with the miller. This is because, most of the sugar companies do not do cane development. So, ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Kapkeben, all the way to Mumbwa, which neighbours Aaron Cheruiyot’s county, the roads are impassible, yet there is a lot of money that is paid through Cess. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the wisdom of the Committee, which you appointed, we thought the Cess should go back to the Kenya Sugar Board so that they can assist in maintenance of infrastructure. In fact, in the definition, we did not say only roads, we said bridges, murram roads, grading and access so that farmers in Homabay and Kakamega counties, when delivering sugar cane to either Butere or Mumias, are using well maintained ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: On the southern sugar catchment area, we will have Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii and Narok. At the Coast, we will have Kwale, Tana River and Lamu. Those were proposed catchment areas that we hope our farmers will be comfortable with because some counties do not have a factory. For example, in Nandi, we do not have a sugar milling factory. We only depend on Kakamega, Naitiri and Butale. On the other side, we depend on West Valley, Kibos, Chemelil, Muhoroni and West Kenya to deliver our cane. Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at this report, I ask my colleagues to support ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to make a few comments on the report of the Select Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds. In the last session, we had a joint committee. I am happy that during that session, we were not able to look at these issues. I know they are very busy because they have to look back from 2013. We were unable to look at public accounts in the last session. However, I am happy in the wisdom of the Senate, we have seen the need to have a Public Investment and ... view
