• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: So, with the establishment of the Board, we pray there will be proper extension services so that tea output is improved and we can compete with other countries. I had a chance to visit China… view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, please protect me from my neighbour because I did not go there recently. It was sometimes back. So, I am free from any ailment and I think the doctor knows that I am okay. In China, I saw tea drinking is a ceremony. They have consistently good production of tea because they are organised. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Marketing of our tea is poorly done by the auctioneers in Mombasa. The tea travels overnight from very far and by the time it gets there, its quality has gone down. We should look at the marketing part as we send our tea outside the country and ensure it is of very good quality. Also, I hope coffee and pyrethrum - which have been forgotten - will be revived. This is a great opportunity for us to look at tea as a major export earner for this country. During the Third Reading, I hope input from the Members will be ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the chance. Adding on to what Hon. Chris Wamalwa said, the initial purpose of establishing this Fund was to settle squatters. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: In 1963, we got Independence and there were people who did not have land. That is why this Fund was established. The same Fund is being used to settle IDPs. The Committee has done a good job. However, I want to encourage it to go back to Trans Nzoia where we have so many people who are unsettled. There are so many IDPs because of what happened. Trans Nzoia is a small Kenya. We have all the tribes in Trans Nzoia. We had problems with the General Elections of 1992 and 2007. I, therefore, want this Committee to find time ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I think we are very serious here. Upon the launch of the BBI Report, we actually no longer talk about the tribes. Is Mheshimiwa Wandayi in order to talk about tribes here when we are talking about Kenyans? Is he in order to mention where the candidate is coming from? view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank the Ministry and the Committee for coming up with this innovative idea of looking for alternative source of funding for our roads. We do not have to go out there. The roads are in a bad state because of the climatic changes. We do not have to go out to see. Recently, I was driving from Nakuru to Nairobi and it took me a long time because the roads are in bad state due to the rains. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Back home in our constituencies, the members of the public are asking Members here that the roads are bad as if they are not seeing the rains pouring. In my own area, for example, heavy trucks have spoilt the roads. Even if we were to rely on National Treasury to fund roads, it would be very difficult given that today, the economy of this country is doing badly. It is common knowledge. The Committee and the Department of Roads need to think outside the box. I support the fact that we can now get bonds from the World Bank. That ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: amendment. The interest rate is very low. It is affordable. Therefore, I want us to pass this Bill. I am not a Member of the Committee, but as a responsible Kenyan, I want us to pass this Bill, so that the Kenya Roads Board can borrow bonds which are payable for a long time and deduct low interest rates, to fix our infrastructure. We are being careless as Kenyans. Those of you who live in Westlands, I have seen a road there which I think is a waste of resources. It has a lot of infrastructure that does not make ... view
