• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is whether it is appropriate and in order for us to continue debating whereby a court of law has already issued--- view
• 8 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this very important Report. I am one of the Kenyans - just like my neighbour - who comes from the tea growing County of Nyamira. This report is being tabled at a time when farmers have serious grievances around the tea industry. This weekend, I was at home and farmers were threatening that they want to uproot their tea bushes because they are not getting income that justifies the effort and labour they put in the farming of tea. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very key crop in this country. ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the consultation is in very high tones. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just the way we support maize farmers in terms of subsidies for fertilizers, this is something that the Government should do. The income that farmers get is swallowed by the overhauled expenditure they incur in paying salaries for the people who pluck tea and the fertilizer that they have to purchase twice in a year. By the time they receive their money, everything is deducted to meet this overhauled expenses. We need to see more support from our Government in terms of extending subsidies to the tea farmers and end the cartels of tea auctions in Mombasa. ... view

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is a difference between Kisii County and Nyamira County. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is like Meru County and Tharaka- Nithi County. I also rise to support the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2019/2020. First, let me make a point to my colleague, the distinguished Senator for Kisii County, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, that when we hear some strong views on the performance of the Committee on County Public Accounts Investments (CPAIC), it is a reflection on the feelings of our people on the ground. We are not really passing harsh judgment on the Committee. It is just a way of some peer review mechanism on ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must say that devolution will never achieve its purpose unless we deal with this dragon called corruption. That is the truth and the fact, and we cannot run away from that. We need to have the approach of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). We do not need to pick all cases of counties; dealing with others half-heartedly and then picking the next one. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my case in point is that I sat in CPAIC that interrogated the affairs of the Nyamira County Government. One of the issues that was raised was ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: You should not go! That is how it should be. Let us be men and women beyond reproach. view
