• 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.

• 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.

• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: a Member of that Ad hoc Committee on maize and invite the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to look at those recommendations. They are good and we fully support them in Nandi, Uasin-Gishu, Trans Nzoia and the rest of Kenya, where maize is planted. We hope that the Galana-Kulalu Irrigation Scheme will be shut down. Let that money that was going to that Scheme be used in the North Rift – Nandi, Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia counties - to improve maize growing in this country. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that the direction you gave was necessary considering that there are many issues. However, in terms of reply, we still need to stick to the timelines because some of the Government agencies and the people that are supposed to get back to the chairpersons need adequate time to consult. By the time we are engaging the Senator concerned on a statement that had been sought, it should be adequate. Secondly, I agree with my colleagues that you should create exceptional circumstances because some of the things are urgent and important. I therefore agree with my ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in welcoming the delegation from the Parliament of Sierra Leone. I think we met in Uganda and it was very interesting to learn about Sierra Leone. As our Majority Whip has said, as Africans, we should have more common approaches that are not limited to trade, democracy and gender issues, but also how we partner as parliamentarians. That is why we are comfortable working through Commonwealth parliamentary groups than within Africa. I hope that this will bring interlink and togetherness as Africans, so that we appreciate that there is ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two issues: The first one concerns the Petition by Sen. Mwaura on the fight against corruption.
