• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: think I will support that. Let us punish people who import sugar, but not the ones who produce sugar locally. view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: The intention is good because there is nothing as important as price stabilization. When you have Guaranteed Minimum Returns (GMRs), that is the only way that farmers can engage in farming without having any fear of meeting the cost of production. If you pay farmers Kshs10,000 per tonne of sugarcane delivered to a factory and ensure the price does not go down, that will encourage many people to engage in farming. That is what happens in USA. If there are adverse weather effects and your maize gets destroyed, the Government pays you. That is what we need to do even ... view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: infrastructure development, including roads, whereas those farmers have already been taxed through the road development levy. It amounts to double taxation. I am seeing that we are repeating the same mistake here in Section 34(7)(C). It is proposed that the Sugar Development Levy will be used for infrastructure development.

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: I can see my time is up. There are a number of challenges here in the idea of fertilizer subsidy. I would have wished that this be a preserve of the sugar factories themselves. If you go to the tea sector, fertilizer for tea factories is procured by those factories themselves. Even in this one, instead of living this task to the parent Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation, this should be done by the factories themselves. In conclusion, this is the way we shall address the concerns of Kenyans. I was surprised yesterday to read that while the ... view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. Yes, her name is Hon. Suluhu. She was so candid. She was not in the streets. I see our DP, instead of taking that microphone written DP and addressing Kenyans, educating them on the crisis we have in Russia and Ukraine, he goes to the streets to tell people how the Government has failed. How can you be in Government and you are telling people to come out and demonstrate against your own Government? It is really a shame. We need to send him for benchmarking to Tanzania. We need to get a ticket for our ... view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: No way! And we are seeing. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us send the DP’s friends to tell him to understand the importance of the office he occupies. Article 147 states that he is the principal assistant to the President. When you are a principal assistant, when there is a crisis, you view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: look for the principal. In a secondary school when the deputy principal sees a problem, he looks for the principal to discuss. Now, what example is our DP sending to our head masters and our deputy principals? view
