• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it fair in the eyes of young pupils and Kenyans for a distinguished barrister of the House, to mislead us that by if our people drink bad water they get trypanosomiasis? This is a sleeping sickness transmitted by tsetse flies. Is it in order? You are a cattle farmer, my distinguished friend. Tsetse flies live amongst your people. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this Bill that my good friend Sen. Tabitha Mutinda has brought on the table. I delve into the challenges that our good friends, the agricultural extension officers are undergoing in Bungoma or in the country at large. You realise that the agricultural extension officers in this republic have very low morale. These people are depressed, they have economic worries and therefore, this reduces on their output.

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: My experience at the grassroots level is, since these people are not well enumerated, they only visit the financially able.
