• 25 May 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very encouraging that we are finally seeing petitions coming to this House from members of the public and governors. This is perhaps an indication that finally they have woken up to the reality that the Senate is there for the purpose of defending, protecting and championing the interests of the counties. They should also be able to avail themselves to account for the funds that the Senate allocates to them. The Petition from Makueni County is very pertinent and it raises issues of accountability. I hope the Committee that has been tasked with ... view

• 25 May 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the committee which prepared this report and procedurally, therefore, I support. The rules are clear. They talk of election and in any election process, there must be competitors.

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to issue a Statement regarding preparedness for the planting season and supply of fertilizer and other farm inputs to farmers.

In order to ensure constant supply of seed for crop production, Kenya Seed Company adopted irrigated ... view

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, clarification is sought on the issue of the testing of soils and recommendation of appropriate fertilizer. It is true that this report says that most of the soils in our country are now acidic arising from use of certain types of fertilizer. It is high time that changes are made to use non-acidifying fertilizer.
