• 9 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.452/2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the ownership status and the total acreage of land occupied by the Bomas of Kenya Limited in Lang’ata Constituency, Nairobi County? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the Bomas of Kenya Limited was not compensated like any other Government agency when part of its land was acquired compulsorily by the Government? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I stand with my colleagues from the sugar region because I also come from a county that grows sugar-cane. In some parts of Kericho like in Sigowet/Soin Constituency, parts of Ainamoi and parts of Kipkelion West we grow sugar- cane. I support this Bill. It is timely. We should have passed it like yesterday. I thank you. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I vote no. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, for giving me this opportunity. I come from a tea growing area and I want to thank the Senator for Kericho for bringing this Bill. I support it plus the amendments that will come towards it. I want to say that this is a Bill that people from the tea-growing areas are looking forward to. They want answers and better prices for tea like before. Farmers are suffering and cannot pay school fees for their children. They cannot pay for their medical bills. Like what my colleagues have said, we need answers like yesterday. We need improved prices ... view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I also want to touch on the subsidy of fertiliser. Farmers should be given a fertiliser subsidy just like in other crops. Coffee farmers were given the Cherry Fund. That was okay, but why were tea farmers not given a fund and yet they fetched low prices? Why were they not supported by the Government with a similar fund? Employment at the KTDA is skewed. No staff is employed from tea growing areas to look at the interests of the farmers from that region. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Farmers expect the Government to look into the KTDA, streamline it and ensure that they are given better prices. We have talked about cartels within the KTDA and within Mombasa for the ones who auction tea. How comes the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has not raided these auction centres or the KTDA? If it means bringing back the Tea Board of Kenya to streamline the KTDA, I will support the establishment of a tea board, so that we can see better prices for our farmers. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: With these few remarks, I support this Bill and the amendments that will come towards improving the prices of tea and any other crop that affect our farmers. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. On my behalf, my family and that of the great people of Kericho County, I convey my condolences. We will miss the late Daniel arap Moi for the development he did in this country, more so what he did when he came to our neighbourhoods. We would be excited as pupils and we would always look forward to seeing him. He would come out of his car, smile and wave his rungu and give us goodies that made us happy the whole week. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Rest in peace, arap Moi. view
