• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was looking at the television, and I saw the residents of West Pokot and what they went through. The roads in that area were destroyed, and the people could not cross over to the other side. It was a sad state of affairs. There are affected families that are hurting.

There is need for us to look for a sustainable way of helping, because you cannot take food every day and ... view

When they are coming up with mechanisms of ensuring that there is water, they should also ensure that PwDs have water. I just want to take us back to West Pokot. Think ... view

However, if you use a toilet in ... view

• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Water reservoirs should be set up for use during drought. Scarcity of water is a crisis that must be addressed, because climate change comes with scarcity of water. It is a constitutional requirement for every citizen to access clean water. Water is a pertinent issue while discussing food security. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the county governments need to put in place mechanisms to ensure that all households have clean water. The county governments must put monies aside for purposes of supplying water to all residents. Water is required for irrigation if we are to attain sufficient supply of food. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I beg to support this Motion and urge the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources to interrogate county governments and ensure that all households have sufficient water supply. view
