• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, fertilizer is supposed to be packed in 50 kilogramme bags. If that has not been done, the law should take its course because it is illegal and farmers should not accept that. In fact, whoever is aggrieved should take complaints to the relevant authorities; the Weights and Measures Department, the police or even file the matter in a court of law. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.45(2)(b), I beg to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. In the statement, the chairperson should answer the following:- (1) Whether he is aware that Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers participate in vetting committee sittings for identity card applications in Trans Nzoia County. (2) Why do the officers interrogate and intimidate innocent applicants as if they have committed crime? (3) Since issuance of ID cards is a civil and not a criminal matter, what action will the Ministry take ... view

• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. It is timely that the President has chosen that day to address the nation on various issues. Kenyans look forward and are eager to the pronouncements that the President will make because it will hopefully address their fears, expectations and plans, amongst other issues. The Address is coming at the right time in view of the many challenges that the country continues to face in terms of security, economy and general well-being of our people. I believe as he comes to address the nation, he will also address the undertakings that the ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Petition raises fundamental issues regarding boundaries. While this boundary dispute in Changara appears to be administrative, it has some historical perspective. As Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said, there was a Commission that went to look into the boundaries. Even within Bungoma County there are issues that have to be sorted, once and for all. This Petition has come at an opportune time. The boundary at Changara should be determined. It should also be known to which district it belongs. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many schools have sponsors who are mostly religious organisations. Sometimes the land belongs to the community but there is a sponsor. Could the chairperson clarify that when registration is done, what will happen with the sponsor? Will the land be registered under the name of the sponsor or the school? view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Looking at the way we are proceeding; so many issues have been raised. Would it not have been in order that the Senator is given more time to find out information and bring it at a letter stage? At this rate of asking and answering questions, we might take the whole afternoon. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Jambo la nidhamu, Bw. Naibu wa Spika. Yangu ni kuhusu pesa zinazolipwa wazee na Serikali yetu. Mwenyekiti wa kamati hii angetilia maanani jambo hili ili kuhakikisha wazee wote waliohitimu umri unaohitajika wapate marupurupu hayo. Sisi sote tukienda katika kaunti zetu tunakumbana na swala hili. Tunajua ni wazee wachache wanaopata marupurupu hayo na wengine wengi hawapati. Kwa hivyo, tunataka majibu kuhusu jambo hili. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this was a very genuine request for a statement on a matter that is very critical in terms of food security for this country. We have contacted the Ministry and they have been promising that they would provide the answers. However, I am sorry to say that, up to now, we have not received an answer. They are still promising. I, therefore, request for additional time to get the answer. I agree that fertiliser should have come by now. People in Trans Nzoia County are waiting for fertiliser. We were supplied with some NPK fertiliser but ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am seized of this matter and quite concerned in my capacity as the Senator for Trans Nzoia where farmers are really having a problem. As to what steps we have taken, I can confirm here that I have personally gone to the office of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and discussed the issue of having fertilizer in time, among others. You know that there was a change in positions there but that is not an excuse. I have said I will provide the answer on Tuesday because even if we go ... view
