• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: I rise to support the Petition by Sen. Khaniri. It is an important observation. Our uniformed men and women put their lives in the frontline, and there is nothing more important than life. These men give their lives to our country, but are left hopeless and end up living miserably. Something needs to be done to help them. The Government must come up with a programme that will give respect to these brave citizens. The behaviour of neglecting our heroes did not start today. We are now an independent country because some people, for instance, the Mau Mau, lived a ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: as they fought for independence, yet they are now miserable because they were neglected. Mau Mau was an army. South Africa recognised its freedom veterans. In fact, Dedan Kimathi is more honoured in South Africa and West Africa than here. This country has to recognise and honour its heroes. We should come up with laws that cater for our veterans. We also have other heroes such as the athletes, but they end up living miserable lives. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This issue of food is very serious. It is very puzzling and the highest betrayal in this country today, that you may not know what food you are buying. Countries such as Botswana are making a lot of money. In their economy, beef is a very important product. They make a lot of money through the European Union (EU) and other countries because they have managed to keep their cattle in a manner that is palatable and the whole world knows it is buying healthy meat. view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, countries such as Argentina and Australia are earning a lot of foreign exchange through export of meat. It is not just the beef, but the whole line of things such as fish, vegetables, canned food and even medicine. In this country, you never know anymore when you are buying pharmaceutical products. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: A certain auctioneer told me that he went to a godown along Mombasa Road to confiscate things. He found somebody there with a machine repackaging expired drugs. He was removing them from the old packet and repackaging them. He walked to the nearest police station and asked the Officer Commanding the Station (OCS) to go and raid the place. The OCS said it was not his duty, but that of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB)--- view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Government should start taking things seriously. When it comes to food, the Government should ensure that Kenyans are taking the right food. In places such as Nakuru, people have been found skinning dogs and cats to take to butcheries. These dogs and cats have been eaten by Kenyans. This Government, particularly the public health officers, should start taking thing seriously. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: I think corruption has eroded all the integrity that Kenyans had to an extent that they are now dealing in bad food. It is something to worry about when you hear that in Kawangware, butcheries are stocked with human flesh. People are being killed and their flesh is being sold in butcheries. One wonders where this Government is taking the people of Kenya and why those employed by the Government are not seriously taking the issues pertaining to this country. When it comes to issues such as medicine, in Japan, they are packaging textiles as medicine. That textile packed very ... view
