• 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.

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
• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement. I know there are many implications on issues of betting and gambling when it comes to people who are addicted and the youth being involved. As a Senate, we must have a legal framework, so that we do not have arbitrary influence by the respective Cabinet Secretary. We need to look at aspects of business and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) because betting companies have been sponsoring our teams. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are aware that in some cases, young people have committed suicide because of betting and gambling. I hope we ... view
• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. However, we will discuss with the Chairperson, my colleague, Sen. Sakaja on how to proceed. This is because apparently on Thursday, we are meeting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)--- view

• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to welcome the beautiful girls from Itigo Girls Secondary School in Chesumei Sub-County, Nandi County, which is my neighbouring village. I have a special relationship with this school because my younger sister schooled there. I wish them well. I am proud of them. We look forward to them performing well this year. I know that their performance has been extremely good. However, I want them to be excellent. I hope that they will have an opportunity to see how the Senate operates. In future, when some of us are old enough and ... view
