• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Secondly, we need to completely do away with the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) and the Crops Act. That was a very bad experiment that has affected the tea sector and worsened the sugar sector. As a Member of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, we get so many petitions about sugar. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: The other day we were in Kisumu with all the other Senators from that region. The worst is the grain sector because it has been affected badly. That includes maize farmers from maize farming counties. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: As Members of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, we will work with all the Senators who have brought Bills. As a Committee, we will unpack the Crops Act so that we go back to the institutions we had that were sector-wise that concentrate on various crops so as to benefit the people of country. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Once again, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Cheruiyot and my colleagues in this Chamber who have stood with the farmers. I want to tell every citizen and stakeholder in this Republic without fear of contradiction that we have agreed as a Senate that their cries are not in vain. We will sit down again and revisit this Bill to make it even better and accommodate their concerns. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, our colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, was my senior in the legal profession. He is a man who if you met in this Chamber or outside there, you would mistake his simplicity for weakness. You would never tell that he was a man with immense knowledge and education. I think he had five degrees and was pursuing the sixth and a PhD. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: If there was a Senator who engaged us intellectually in the Senate Social Media Group, it was Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. I enjoyed their conversation especially late night because I am a late night sleeper. Him and Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko have always entertained us with very witty comments. In any conversation you would have with Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, you would realize that he was deep both in the legal profession and philosophy of life. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: His most memorable moment in this House, and which is his legacy, is his stand with those counties that were meant to lose money in the discussion on division of revenue. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: When we were having that debate, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka was part of “Team Kenya”. Sen. Sakaja, who was part of our leadership, will bear witness that most of us thought that he was the last person to stand firm because of the pressure that was there in so far as the decision to stand with the counties that were losing was concerned, but he stood very firm. I would also mention that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. went with Sen.(Dr.) Kabaka to pray with a bishop. view
