• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: they are milling but, in the real sense, they are not doing much but are re-packaging imported sugar. The Bill, therefore, ensures the establishment of such kind of mills is not allowed. This Bill also looks into the establishment of contract agreements especially in Schedule II where we are introducing contract farming. Every farmer within a particular region can enter into an agreement with a miller or an institution and is supposed to give a particular price to the farmer. Currently, our farmers are in serious problems. They have grown the crop which can be in the farms for 30 ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I also want to congratulate the Chairperson and the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. As it has been said, this Bill seeks to right the wrongs that have been in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations for quite some time. It is known that in the community of nations, it is very important to have clear professional, foreign relations service for betterment of services for our citizens and relations in the international community. This Bill therefore, seeks to establish a very clear professional functioning ... view

• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the mediated version of this Bill. This Bill is quite timely and important. As we speak today, we have no clear law on the management of ECDE centres. The Bill actually cuts out on how to manage early childhood education across counties and sets standards. In Part II, Clause 5, the Bill gives out the rights of the child in especially what every county government has to do pertaining to early childhood education in this country. The Bill goes ahead to obligate county governments to put up structures and buildings ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On the administration of ECD centres, the Bill has also specified the available resources so that across the country, from Lamu to Turkana, Kisumu to Mandera, all ECD centres must have a set curriculum. This curriculum should be developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development. The Bill also talks about prohibition of exams to admit a child to an ECD centre. This particular Bill is quite important because it brings in the role of regulators and even the role of the Cabinet Secretary and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Report from the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the optimisation of revenue in grain handling services at the Port of Mombasa. Monopolies are discouraged in many jurisdictions the world over. They do not promote trade or competition. In fact, they depress businesses across the world. The GBHL is the main handler of all grain coming through the Port of Mombasa. Kenya is an importer of most grains like wheat and yet, it is not doing good business. As we try to open up ports like that of Lamu ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: are still going to lose revenue collection if we are going to still retain one handler of grains. The mandate of the Government or agencies operating at the Port of Mombasa need to be clearly defined and strengthened to avoid overlap of roles, which slows down port operations. The purpose of KPA is to regulate and give room to others. It is not to assist one particular company to monopolise the running of the business at the Port. I support the Motion. view
