• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are dealing with a very emotive agenda. It involves allocation of money which has been earned by the same people who are supposed to share it. In this case, we are dealing with a very sensitive subject. We should satisfy every category of people in our country. Therefore, in this case, it is important to note that; when we talk of 100 per cent as indicated in this Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) formula, we should know what it is in figures. Therefore, if we are told that it is 100 per cent, we should ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, no. I am sorry about that. I meant that 70 per cent of the revenue from Kirinyaga County comes from hardworking people and part of it is the one which is contributed to the national revenue. I am sorry for that mix up. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Kirinyaga County, 70 per cent of her land is arable. It is suitable for farming. Some of the produce from here is sold to earn foreign exchange.

• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those counties which cannot produce enough on cash crop and subsistence farming should be encouraged to grow more by providing monies for development. The Mwea rice in Kirinyaga whose pishori rice is the best brand of rice in Kenya cannot be sold in the local market because of the invasion of the foreign rice. Why is the Government not encouraging farmers to grow more so that they can take care of the domestic markets in Kenya? Secondly, we have coffee farmers not only in Kirinyaga but also in other areas that need to be supported by ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, other discoveries have been of late. A lot of underground water was discovered in Turkana. What economic use will we put that water to? Coal was discovered in Kitui and we have oil inIsiolo. Are we going to have these same indexes as we continue looking for discoveries and exploitation of the same natural resources? This should, therefore, change. Those counties which have done well--- view
