• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance also to add my voice to this Report about the poor sugar-cane farmer who has been crying since the first day. He is a sugar-cane farmer, but he cannot afford even to drink tea because he cannot afford to buy even a half kilogramme of sugar. Time has come and let me take this opportunity to thank Hon. ole Kenta, the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation, for the good work that he has done. Sometimes, he has decided to bite the bullet, which is not easy for many ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I need more time because I have been away for 74 years, you know! view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. So, this thing should come to an end. In the areas that have been mentioned, people plant sugar-cane. It extends to the Rift Valley near Eldoret Town. It extends to Kolongolo in Trans Nzoia. Sugar-cane is very important to us. We import sugar even from our neighbour Uganda, who sell the commodity at a good price. How do they produce sugar using little money and why do we produce it at a high cost? These are things which should be looked into properly. There are people who are just there to make sure that ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute. I have been away for almost four months and I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Members of this House, those who stood with me during the difficult time that I had. I want to let the Members and the nation know that I did not steal and I am not corrupt. Sometimes, it is a challenge. I have been in custody for almost four months and I have learnt a lot. It is a very big experience. I have learnt that there are ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Okay, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Member who brought this amendment, which talks of retirement age of 60 years. Everybody is born as a child and grows to become an old person. It depends with the time that God gives you to stay on this land. In this country, the retirement age is now 60 years; it used to be 55 years. With the very many youths and graduates from universities who are out there looking for jobs and tarmacking - last year our Committee thought of reversing the retirement age from 60 back to 55. There are ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Those who came up with the retirement age of 55 knew that when you work up to the age of 85, you will be exhausted. I have been abroad where people can work up to even 80 or 90 years of age. Those are W azungus. In Africa, we should retire by the age of 55. That way, you can go home when you still have energy. You can plan for the remaining years that God will give you instead of working up to the age of 60. I have a lot to say but due to time, I will ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this. From the outset, I support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It has done a good job with the challenges we have in the country. They have ensured that at least every ministry gets a little share. They have worked hard to make sure that there is balance.

• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Our country has faced a lot of challenges. The economy of this country is strong because even with the problems we are facing, we have managed to feed our people, especially the elderly. I thank the President for not forgetting them. Every time they get food from our Government, they are happy. We must thank His Excellency. Kenya has gone through so many problems. If you were to count them, you would start with locusts, then floods and now we have the Coronavirus. We need to pray. It is good that the President has allowed churches and mosques to reopen, ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: This country mostly depends on agriculture and tourism. We are not exporting goods now. Where I come from, there is coffee, but we are not exporting it because of these problems. We are also not exporting flowers and tea. Everything is at standstill. Even tourists are not jetting in. Our people should understand that the country is going through so many challenges. We need to support the Government. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the good work that they have done today. Because I do not want to repeat what my colleagues have said here, I ... view
