• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you for the opportunity. I know that tea farmers, all over the country, including the Chairmen of County Tea Boards have been given a raw deal. They are a dissatisfied group. I also know that the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sen. Murungi, took the initiative to invite all stakeholders to a meeting recently. These matters were discussed exhaustively. I was wondering when the Chairperson would bring the report of that meeting for debate in this Chamber. view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been listening to these exchanges very carefully. It seems to be a very important matter touching on the economies of two countries; our own economy and the economy of South Sudan. But I cannot fully comprehend why the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations is the one dealing with this matter when, in fact, it should be dealt with by the other Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget.
