• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we will call the Cabinet Secretary, Amb. Amina, to our Committee to clarify what she intended. We need to know if she is serious about arresting people for failing to repay the HELB loans, yet the Government has not given them job opportunities. We will invite her to clarify what she said yesterday. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second this particular Motion with the said amendments. The inclusion of these particular members in this Committee will be important. These are high level Government officials whom we expected to act with decorum concerning such a crisis in our country during that particular time. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you check in Page 3, these are the people who resolved that the duty-free waiver for the maize should within five days be extended without any good reason. This is the same group that in the second paragraph, mentioned that the ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am seconding the amendments. The decisions that were made by these particular high level Government officials, which violated the GazetteNotice and anything else, make me feel that they are the people who should carry the highest responsibility of the very mess. Excluding them is actually robbing this particular Report a great authenticity and the availability of people who can carry the highest responsibility on the mess that happened. For us who went to the field and experienced a lot of issues facing the farmers, it is actually in order that these particular amendments be approved. When we were in ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: I want to finish by saying that this particular committee made very erratic decisions that affected farmers. As a result, 21 purported farmers in Bungoma were paid a lot of money. We shall continue later. I second the amendments. view
• 12 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this time to add my voice to this very important Committee. First all, I am happy for being nominated to serve in it. I want to thank the panel that nominated me to serve in this Committee. I also would like to congratulate my colleagues whom we have been given this mandate together. I promise that we are going to deliver. view
• 12 Feb 2019 in Senate: This House has a lot that it is supposed to do for the citizens of this country. At the moment, our country is in total confusion. I believe the issues that we will deliberate in this House will bring some order and normalcy in our country. During the recess, we visited some projects and saw what is going on in our counties. I do not know whether it is my county alone, but I know some counties are facing the same challenges. view
• 12 Feb 2019 in Senate: Currently, we are talking about achieving the Vision 2030. This is a guideline to our development projects in this country. However, in the middle, we also introduced the Agenda Four. In counties, every governor has a manifesto. Right now, most of the counties do not know where to place the agenda on housing within the development projects of the counties. Are they supposed to buy land so that the national Government can build houses for them? As I said, there is a lot of confusion. Reading the newspapers, you can see the kind of confusion I am talking about. Today ... view
• 12 Feb 2019 in Senate: When we visit our schools, we appreciated 100 per cent transition. However, our counties are busy investing a lot of money in village polytechnics. When we talk of 100 per cent transition to secondary schools, who will go to those local polytechnics? Sen (Prof.) Kamar, you will remember when we were sitting in Uasin Gishu, we visited many vocational training centres in your county. We saw some of them had very few students. We are talking of 100 per cent transition to secondary schools. However, our biggest concern is quality. Are our children getting quality education? We know many of ... view
