• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on the first Petition with regards to livestock, farming and expenses. The agriculture and livestock sub-sector is one of the biggest employers in this country; where most of the citizens in the country-side stay. The products which come from agriculture and especially livestock are so expensive that you can never make ends meet. That is why people are running away from farming because the inputs for the growth of the animals are expensive. It becomes very expensive when it comes to selling the milk or meat. I, therefore, urge ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: We should also check against importing what can be produced locally. We do not have to import things from outside for the sake of it. We need to put control measures so that we can sell the inputs cheaply, produce them locally and consume them here so that farmers can benefit. I support the petition. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support the Petition on animal feeds import in this country and their prices.

It also makes it convenient to travel from Kenya to Botswana. Currently, we have to go to South Africa before we can travel to Botswana. This has happened to me. I have been to Botswana twice. The flight distance will shorten by over one-third if not two-fifths. When you land in South Africa, you also spend some time there and that is time wasting. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Botswana is a country with which we should have ratified this Protocol a long time ago because we have many Kenyans working there. When Botswana got its Independence, it imported a lot of skilled labour from Kenya, especially teachers. When I was there last in 2015, I met many Kenyans with their families, who are teachers, head-teachers and principals of schools. They say that they find it cumbersome to come home because there is no direct flight from Botswana to Nairobi, Kenya. This time round, it will be quite easy and convenient. Given that the country has a small population, ... view
