• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please give me two more minutes. It is a pity that children are consuming that kind of poison. As we mourn our brother, I ask the Almighty God to keep his soul in eternal peace. We pray for the family and ask God to take care of them as He took care of David and blessed him with another son when his son passed on. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to express my condolences, alongside other Senators, to the family of the late Ben Okello and the people of Migori. It is unfortunate that we have lost a great Senator. Cancer has become a killer disease and it is the only known quick killer in this country and across the globe. Having lost a Senator, we want to send a message to the Government that we should have adequate cancer centres in the country. We have so many people who are dying of cancer. We have taken so many ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the sentiments expressed by Sen. Orengo and the other speakers on this matter. When we talk of sovereignty, we talk of a country being able to secure and protect its territory and citizens. It is pitiful that the people of Migingo Island are living under the fear of Ugandans. I think the Committee investigating this matter should come out clearly and state whether we have the kind of force we expect. If the policemen were arrested, then where is the security and safety of wananchi in Migingo Island? There is no question ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support Sen. Nyamunga’s Statement. It is wrong to import vehicles from South African when they can be made here. Corruption has been made official in this country to the extent that we may be about to build an office and say that, that is where corruption will be done. We have heard of people who have stolen Kshs9.9 billion from National Youth Service (NYS). One wonders how Kshs9 billion can be siphoned out of NYS without the knowledge of the Cabinet Secretary and the officers from the Ministry such as the Principal ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can take three minutes because of the urgency of the matter. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we are dealing with a Bill like this and the funds we are talking about particularly in agriculture, we should have water for the purposes of irrigation. Having said that, I am of the opinion that some of the counties in this country have been marginalized for far too long. For a county like Nyandarua in the former Central Province, people can assume that it is developed like other counties in the nation. However, we know that we lack infrastructure in Nyandarua County. We have no roads. People can assume that because we are in the ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition because this is a matter that is now alive in this country and that is corruption. I say so because the Petitioner has said that some people have been left out. If they were genuine people, it means that they were left out because of the things that we are trying to fight. We should take this opportunity to correct this situation. Let us not forget that there are many families in Naivasha who have been living miserably. When this is being looked into, I would expect that ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me a chance to also add my voice to the Division of Revenue Bill. Concerning the Agriculture Sector Development Support Programme, we know what is lacking in this country in matters pertaining to agriculture. In Kenya, there is no serious farming that can be done without developing water supplies all over the country. It is time the Government thought of developing water systems in the country so that people can get involved in agriculture. At a time like this, we have rain but in quite a number of months across the year, ... view
