• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. When Sen. Wambua brought his Statement, I had said that there is need to have a different system. You cannot be doing the same thing the same way and expect a different result. The world has advanced. There is electronic filing of documents so that it is saved in the cloud that nobody can reach. Internet has gone places. Why we have box files being burnt, mostly finance files, I do not understand. It keeps on recurring from one county to another. When will this madness stop? The other files are okay, it is only ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to advise my Senator, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, that arson is not a finance function. It is more of a security function because this is arson in my view. It is criminal in nature in the way it is being handled. Madam Deputy Speaker, this shows you that the crimes that happen within counties are not addressed until people start fearing that they have done it to a level where they cannot sustain themselves and resort to burning finance files. There is need for a permanent solution. To get an internet service that can take care ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, it is good that Sen. Omanga is on record having supported BBI. However, I do not understand how that is relevant to what I was saying. The other issue is around police harassment. In the Muslim community, there is a facemask that is cloth. In a county like Wajir, people are jailed for wearing the veil, yet the police have no capacity to determine whether the veil is good enough for COVID-19 prevention compared to normal cloth mask. I am contributing to the next Statement by Sen. Waqo. There were two Statements that were given at the ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, as I was saying, the police have no medical knowledge to know the difference between a veil and the cloth masks that everybody else wears. In my county, there are ladies who have been victimized for wearing a veil, which is equivalent to the normal cloth masks that prevent infections. We have to be consistent on how we make our decisions. Either make sure that all the masks are not made of cloth and are surgical. If we accept clothes, they should be part of the accepted cloths. Otherwise, we will be having doublespeak. I know of ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second. I wish to thank Sen. Wambua for bringing this Bill. Strangely, even if I am from a community that eats more meat than beans, ndengu happens to be one of my favorite sources of protein. Because I like it, I have learnt to cook ndengu with a lot of spices. It is so sweet that you cannot believe that the taste of ndengu that we used to know in school is totally different from what I am able to cook. I really thank people who grow ndengu, especially view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: from Makueni County. It cooks in a very short time. Actually, when I go to the supermarket, I look for Makueni ndengu is because it really cooks very fast. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not think that people have appreciated the nutritional value ndengu. It has high level of antioxidants that reduce the level of chronic diseases. It is rich in potassium, magnesium and fiber, which reduce blood pressure. I view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: think Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Wambua should give me some work of marketing of ndengu because I could go on and on, if I am allowed to continue. I consume a lot of ndengu. If many people adopted the habit of eating it, it can become a source of income for so many farmers who depend on this crop for their livelihood. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Kitui and Garissa counties, and by extension, Wajir County are neighbours. I challenge our governors to do some research to find out what variety of ndengu can grow in those regions, so that we have some level of agriculture. Devolution has brought a lot of changes in the counties. In Wajir County, for example, we grow a lot of lemons, paw paw and some of the sweetest melons in this country. This is another area that is good to do research on, to find out what variety grows there. If you want to develop agriculture, the main ... view
