• 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. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 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
