• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: I support the Report. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Wetangula. Maize is a staple food in Western Kenya as well as in other parts of the country. There is need to encourage our maize farmers because Kenya signed and ratified the Maputo Declaration that recommended 10 per cent of the national revenue to go to agriculture. We have to look for ways and mechanisms of encouraging our farmers because many of them are diverting from the farming of maize and sugarcane due to low returns. Many farmers move from pillar to post ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: The Committee that will pursue this issue should ensure that no maize is imported. We should prioritise our farmers. We have to buy Kenya, make Kenya and encourage Kenya. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: There is a time there was a lot of maize in the stores and farmers did not know what to do with their maize. One year lapsed and the maize was rotting in the stores. This is a sorry state. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: I believe that the Committee that will handle this Statement will do justice to our Kenyan farmers. We have a duty as a Senate to encourage them because this is one of the devolved functions. Protecting devolution is one of our core businesses in this Senate. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: I support. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition. I want to thank the petitioners for bringing this issue to the Floor of the House. It is their right to Petition, so that we provide solutions to their concerns. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have to be seen as a generation that is solving land disputes and conflicts all over the country. Historical injustices of land disputes need to be resolved, not only partially, but completely. Sen. Khaniri has brought these issues severally on the Floor of this House. I cannot fail to comment ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: hailed from Vihiga. When I look at the petitioners, 17 of them are Banyore and they want to get their identity. They neighbour Kisumu and Siaya counties, but have no sense of belonging. This House should ensure that it is resolved amicably. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, resolving this Petition will resolve a long-term issue. The residents of the three counties intermarry, they are friends and they have brought their children together. Therefore, there is need to resolve this conflict, so that they continue interacting amicably. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that the Luos and the Luhyas have ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. The Ad Hoc Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya has been doing a good job. I comment them for the many reports that they have been tabling and the work that they continue to do with regard to visiting the counties to monitor what is going on. The thematic areas that the Ad Hoc Committee has been focused on are very crucial in this country. They have given elaborate details on health. We heard that there are COVID-19 billionaires and millionaires. That was brought ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: I would like to speak on the thematic area of education because I am a teacher by profession. Education cannot wait. The Committee needs to find out what is happening in the education sector because it is clear that the legislative arm of the Government has been left out on matters of COVID-19 and education. view
