We, as the people of Uasin Gishu County, will also remember him for the great mega projects, namely, the ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this very important Motion that Hon. (Dr.) Mutunga has moved.

Through registration, these organisations will enable the farmers’ organisations to take advantage of issues. It will enable them to add their voice. They can interrogate their own issues, share experiences and take advantage of economies of scale through input acquisition and marketing to control the marketing factors. It is time farmers ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to add my voice to the National Drought Management Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2019.
