There is need for interrogation to ensure that the fisherman who was shot in Naivasha is compensated. There are factors to put into consideration when considering compensation such as the issue of family, children’s school fees, et cetera, since he was the head of family. We need to factor in all those parameters so that when the compensation is done the family moves on with life. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Kihika has come up with a very good Statement. There is also need to have a policy regarding unfair shooting of citizens such that there is insurance for them. In ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand here to condole with the entire nation concerning the death of Sen. (Dr.) Machage. He did what can never be forgotten in Migori. The Senate is there to represent counties and the interests of the counties. He did his part as a Senator. I traversed Migori County last weekend. We had gone on a legislative mission with the Committee on National Cohesion and Integration of the National Assembly Committee and I could see how big that constituency is and it needs a lot of work. I am sure that the work he started ...

Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I will begin by thanking Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Statement, which is of great concern. This is because the youth are energetic and innovative. If engaged, then whatever it is, will become successful. It is true that the youth are not engaged and interested in agriculture. The lack of interest could be attributed to lack of motivation and incentives in getting into agriculture.

County governments probably need to ensure that they bring the youth on board by raising awareness about the importance of agriculture. Apart from awareness, they should also give them opportunity to get tenders, so that they can be motivated to get into agriculture. Agriculture is closely related to food security. If the youth participate in enhancing food security, then our country will be free from hunger. Even colleges and universities should embrace agriculture strongly by offering courses that will make the youth go back to their societies and get into agriculture. When people take courses, they ask themselves what the ...
