• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: I support this Motion greatly though I have some reservations concerning a few things that I want to mention. First, I want to say that the silence of the Executive and particularly the silence of the President and his: “Handshake” partner is so loud in this matter. Perhaps we are pinning down some few fellows as sacrificial lambs. Why are they silent at this particular moment when in the midst of COVID-19, the price of fuel is skyrocketing? People are suffering. This will lead to the worst crisis we have ever had. Eventually the prices of food will go up. ... view

• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to get clarification from the Senator in expression of her Petition. There are some words she has murmured that border between Cherargei. Could she clarify that so that we may get a gist of the meaning? view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the crisis caused by the decision by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to deny cover to COVID-19 patients admitted in private hospitals in the country.

• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this important Statement from the Senator for Laikipia County. This is the right House to do this. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am addressing you. This is the right House to address this particular issue. The way this thing is happening, unless we handle it with a lot of care, it can degenerate to ethnic clashes. This is because Laikipia is fully a cosmopolitan county. If the Government does not handle this issue seriously, it can lead to more problems. As Sen. Olekina said, the Government has failed to address the actual problem that is causing these other issues. The Government is providing painkillers and massaging the issue by creating conflict between the crops and livestock farmers. This ... view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: That is an immediate solution to that problem. However, the long-lasting solution is that the Government must address the land issues and the historical injustices that have affected that particular place for a long time. How could a Government renew the leasing agreements without involving the locals? I have heard that in Kericho and Bomet, the same Government has renewed the leasing agreements that were done in the 19th century without contacting the locals. The owners of tea plantations have renewed the lease agreement again without involving the locals. Now, the locals are suffering. They do not have land, yet ... view
