• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: are we not investing in the right place? There is a main problem. The Constitution says that the national Government’s responsibility is policy, but the policy framework that we have is a cake. Kenyans do not what is the agriculture policy like the Policy Paper No. 10 of 1963. You do not have such a guiding principle. A proper policy, understood by both national and county governments. This confusion is reflected in the recommendation of this Committee which tries to allocate what functions the county should do. Even when we did devolution functions, now we are still debating here that ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: can come about if the Ministry of Agriculture had a programme on research and market research. When the President went to China and came back, the information was that he has opened a market in China for horticulture products. Nobody came back and told the citizens that they need to produce this number of horticultural products. This are the seeds we are providing and the market guarantee is in this or that country. What is the role of our Ambassadors out there, when we talk about looking for market for our agricultural products? When Ambassadors of other countries come to ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Corruption by a small or a big person is the same. Corruption is sin. Corruption committed by a nurse or a clinical officer in Pumwani Maternity Hospital to collude with people who are stealing children and selling them is corruption. They do not have to have a big person or one has to be elected. As the Bible says, a big and a small sin must get equal punishment. Therefore, when we sit, as a House here, and say that we are only looking for big men, or what is now being called in this country, cartels and sharks and ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Government’s reaction to every purported corruption scandal will be to abandon provision of services, will we have a country at all? We will never have a country at all. That reaction that every farmer should go to look for their fertilizer must stop. I want to ask the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of this Committee to come up with a mechanism of imposing on the Government to continue performing its responsibility of having farm inputs that have subsidized prices. If they cannot do so, they should assist farmers to form cooperative societies that can help them to buy fertilizers at ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying in so far as recommendations are concerned. People want to see how to blame Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for the maize issue, or any other person. I am just using her name as an example. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see newspapers in this country, and I could see where the Senate Minority Leader was going. In this nation, we have weaponized the fight against corruption, it is a political tool. You must find a way of dragging a certain politician to reach there. If there is the worst form of campaign that is going on in this nation, it is the fact that everybody wants to throw mud to another person in preparation of 2022. We know them because they cannot compete on policy, programmes or anything else. They have to just look for ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: to the arrest of the suspect. Let us not weaponize the Office of the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to fight political wars; let it do its job. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of the things that they parade in newspapers are laughable. Sen. Orengo, Sen. Wetangula and I, being lawyers, can read and see through them. However, the citizens of this Republic are duped that so and so has been arrested. Therefore, the newspaper sells. In fact, courts are also intimidated to receive evidence as it is and convict people so that it looks like people are working. If ... view
