• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Asante sana, Bi. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili niweze kuungana na wenzangu kutoa rambirambi kwa mwendazake rafiki yangu mpendwa, Sen. (Dr.) Machage. Nilizipata habari za kifo cha Sen. (Dr.) Machage kwa masikitiko makubwa. Tumejuana kwa miaka mingi na kuna mengi ambayo tunashirikiana naye. Kwanza kabisa, vile mlivyosikia kutoka kwa Sen. Sakaja, tulienda kwenye Shule la Upili ya Chavakali, ingawa alikuwa huko miaka mingi mbeleni kabla yangu. Wakati mwingi tulipokuwa tukikutana, tulikuwa tukiongea kuhusu shule yetu ya zamani, Chavakali. La pili, tulifanya naye katika Bunge la Kitaifa akiwa Mbunge wa Kuria West nami nikiwa Mbunge wa Hamisi. Tukawa ... view

• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Nimekumbushwa pia na Sen. Sakaja kuhusu kifo cha mpendwa ambaye alikuwa rafiki wangu wa karibu sana, Mhe. Mellab Atemah. Alikuwa Mbunge Mteule katika Bunge la Kaunti ya Jiji la Nairobi. Tumejuana na Mhesh. Atemah kwa miaka mingi sana akiwa rafiki yangu wa karibu. Ni masikitiko makubwa ya kwamba tumempoteza akiwa na umri mdogo sana. Alikuwa na matarajio mengi katika siasa na maisha yake. Natoa rambirambi zangu na familia yangu kwa familia yake, jamaa na mume wake. Mwenyeze Mungu awalaze wote watatu pahali pema mbinguni. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise on a Point of Order pursuant to the provisions of our Standing Orders No. 35 and 36. Standing Order No. 35 provides that a quorum of the Senate shall be 15 Members. Standing Order No. 36 gives me the opportunity to bring to your attention when we do not have that requisite number. So, I rise pursuant to the provision of Standing Order No.36 to bring to your attention that we have no quorum. We have a lot of important Bills scheduled for this morning: The County E- Health Bill (Senate Bills No. 39 of ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir; it is on the same. I want to buttress the point raised by my brother Sen. M. Kajwang’. That is a very important point. There is a lot of concern out there in our counties on oversight role on county governments. As much as we try to explain to the public that the primary oversight is done by the county assemblies and we only do secondary oversight, people want to see action. I reinforce the point that the Committee be put in place. The life of this Parliament is coming to an end very soon. Once we ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. I rise pursuant to the provisions of our Standing Orders and in particular Standing Order No.47 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of countywide concern mainly the diminishing interest of our youth in agriculture. Mr. Speaker, Sir, research from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) shows that the agricultural sector solely employs 40 per cent of Kenyans, including 70 per cent of Kenya’s rural population. This then contributes to over a quarter of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Another quarter comes from its linkages ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Let us not forget the hundreds of times farmers have had to strike due to unfair treatment and losses. Our farmers do not seem to be respected and their rights are always being infringed. If it is not high taxes of fertilizers today, it is unfair treatment tomorrow or un-kept promises. Just the other day, tea farmers had to uproot their crops due to low returns. Imagine how bad it was for them to choose to lose everything. If all we ever hear is farmers complaining about poor treatment, low returns and losses, would our youth or anyone, for that ... view

• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you, for the opportunity. I came in when you were presenting the Petition. If I got you right, the Petitioner wants us to amend Section 29 of Employment Act, so that maternity leave can also be given to mothers who miscarry. If I got it right, then I want to say that I strongly support the Petition by the Petitioner. This is long overdue. It is a huge gap in our legislation - if it is not there yet -because if we do what she is asking us, then we are improving that ... view
