• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he is an acquaintance. Possibly, an immediate former friend but it is someone I know. It is tabia mbaya . view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many Statements that have come today have the labour component. There are issues that we have had a chance to look at and some are ongoing. As I always say, there are two sides of a coin. Many of the tea companies are operating on leases of Kenyan land whether it is in Nandi County, Kericho or Bomet. There are many multinationals. Actually, Bomet has the largest number, but people do not know that. Kericho is known to be the real home for tea growing. Normally, you would expect that there is direct return when you ... view

• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: leadership of Kericho, Bomet and Nandi must do is to make sure there is a renegotiation of all of those CBAs to incorporate the current technology that is being used there. That is the current situation on the ground. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will table the wage increments on the CBA, which has been above inflation later. On the other side of the debate, when you go to the headquarters of many of these multinationals in London, they do not see Mama Cherotich or Wafula, because there are many people from Western who are doing the tea plucking, they ... view

The manager and the team want to help but they are constrained by the valgaries of the economy. We will have a balance. We will give a report that addresses both issues. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank him for informing me. I was on the Floor. Based on that information, I want to let him know that in as much as it was the SG who signed it, he did so in his capacity as the leader.

• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a lot we can do as a country because we will not stop technology. However, we can make sure that the roll out is slow and phased out. Meanwhile, those who will get the jobs in those mechanised farms are paid well under a renegotiated CBA based on the savings they make from fertilizer, which has gone up 140 per cent and energy, which has gone up 130 per cent. I am happy and thank Gov. Chepkwony approving power generation in Kericho. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Sen. M. Kajwang’ is shocked that I have a lot of facts and information, yet he knows that I went to a very good school that he had attended years before me. I am grateful he has come to defend my own uncle. view
