• 15 Mar 2023 in Senate: Hon. Senator, please allow me to finish. Sen. Sifuna has already received punishment. That is enough. We want to engage. We are trying to discuss. We want to restore calm and run our businesses. The way PLO Lumumba says, do not respond to a mosquito bite with a hammer. Do not go for an over kill. We will set a bad precedent because this a House of records. You invoke it today against Sen. Sifuna, I assure you Senators, tomorrow, it will be you. In the last Parliament and the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, can correct me, we only ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank the Senator for Laikipia County, Sen. Kinyua, for bringing this matter to the Floor of the House. The issues raised resonate with the challenges and problems faced by my people in Nyamira County. As you know, we are basically small-scale farmers. We do not have big farms like what the Senator for Nandi County has told us. We are peasant farmers. We do farming for subsistence. Now, the challenge we have is that farmers were promised subsided fertilizer but it has not been actualized. We have only one National Cereal and Produce Board ... view

• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: like Kisii, where we have serious pressure on land, people including our parents have passed on and handed over land to their sons and daughters but the people do not have title deeds. Do not ask the farmer to produce a title deed. We just need our chiefs, assistant chiefs and county government officials to have a register of farmers. view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there is a person that I had a lot of admiration for, is the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Even when I served as the Chairman of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), his son who is a lawyer is my friend. He is a respected Senator, who has served for long. We still have admiration for him. There are statements I do not expect to hear from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Like telling me, a Senior Counsel and Senator for Nyamira, that I am confusing my contribution with an Azimio Coalition rally. I challenge Sen. ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying here, what is happening in my county. I challenge the Senator for Kakamega. If you think I am not serious, join me this weekend. I will fuel your car, we go to Nyamira and you will see the issues I am raising here are serious and are affecting the farmers in Nyamira. We are not in a rally but are debating. I like the excitement in the House this afternoon. We are raising serious issues. I want to inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that I have risen up to raise issues that are facing farmers ... view

• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: farmers get fertilizer, so that they can plant. When I go to Nyamira, I want to enjoy ugali from my neighbours. When Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale makes a visit to Nyamira, I want him to meet a healthy population. That is why we are raising this issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of transportation is also a problem. Farmers are expected to travel from the furthest point in Matongo, for about 38 Kilometers, all the way to Nyansiongo, to come and pick two kilos of fertilizer. It does not make economic sense. There should be a very good partnership between the ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey that touches on clinicians in our health sector, not the one at the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC). I do not know about it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have been a Governor. Therefore, you know the excitement the people we represent in our counties had when devolution brought in health as a service that is devolved. The largest population in this country lives in mashinani . Therefore, when Sen. Cherarkey brings an issue that touches on clinical officers, it excites me to rise up, make a comment and ... view
