• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Okay. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am sorry for Hon. Shaban because she is our boss. She is our Vice-Chair of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Sorry. I want to thank Hon. Tandaza for bringing up this Motion. Our country really depends on agriculture. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of this country. To me, even to devolve agriculture to county governments has really created many problems to the farmers of this country. Like with the tea sector, it is really suffering. As we speak, tea farmers are going to the fate of sugarcane farmers. The President ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: we used to see extension officers visiting farmers to know their problems so that they improve on production. As we speak, the extension officers are not there. It means we are performing very poorly in agriculture due to lack of support. We are importing unnecessary things like eggs which are supposed to be produced by our farmers in this country. We are importing eggs from neighbouring countries like Uganda. We are importing milk from neighbouring countries like Uganda, instead of us promoting the farmers like other countries do to support their farmers and their country. We are doing very badly ... view

• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The Harambee spirit was started by the first President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Jomo Kenyatta. It assisted many, mostly, vulnerable families and poor children who did not have school fees. Of late, people have started misusing the Harambee spirit. As many contributors have said, we fundraise for issues such funerals. I have witnessed here in Nairobi fundraising for funerals where up to Kshs3 million or Kshs5 million was realised. You wonder how a dead body can consume Kshs3 million when it is just a send-off. Muslims use around Kshs15,000 but we, Christians, can collect as much as we ... view
