• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. You are very wise. Allow me to thank both my big brother Sen. Khaniri for that Statement as well as my small brother, Sen. Cherargei. Madam Temporary Speaker, the point I was making earlier and what I intend to focus on is the following facts. First, the perception or the idea that agriculture does not take place in Nairobi is a fallacy. There is both urban and rural agriculture. Many parts of Nairobi are rural. If you go to Dagoretti South, Uthiru, Ruthimitu, Waithaka, the entire constituency apart from Ngando, is agricultural. If ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: We had this debate when we were discussing the formula for allocation of resources and Nairobi was given zero on account of agriculture. Every year, Nairobi County staff do more than 15,000 extension service visits, yet that only satisfies 10 per cent of the demand because of poor funding. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we are talking about agriculture - Sen. Cherargei was talking about agribusiness - the biggest food market in this country is Nairobi. A lot of what is grown in every county comes to Nairobi apart from what might be exported. I want to debunk the idea and ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: food truck. When you stop that, the cost of food in Nairobi has now gone up and people cannot feed themselves. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very urgent. I hope these two Statements are taken seriously and immediately so as to get some resolution. Thank you. view

• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, he has escaped because I really wanted to challenge him on what he has said. If you allow me, he has been saved by the bell but “I will be back”, just like he said. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very rare for committee chairpersons to ask for work. I wish this Statement was directed to my committee because this is a labor issue. We have various institutions that think labor laws such as Article 41 of the Constitution, the Employment Act, the Labor Relations Act, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Act, and other different legislations are suggestions. They are not suggestions. I confirm that I responded to the concern that was brought by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. I have written to the TSC on behalf of that teacher. It should not be that, for a ... view
