• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: I encourage the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to make sure that Government institutions do not do public relations with tree planting, but rather engage in tree growing. We have seen several organizations mobilize resources, take very good pictures and get very good publicity. However, three, or four months down the line, we have no trees in the places where they had gone to plant. view
• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the CS and wish her well as she serves this country in a very critical docket that is equally important to our wealth. Congratulations Waziri Mhe. Soipan. view
• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement by Senator for Marsabit, Hon. Chute, is a matter that needs to be discussed. As the Chairperson of that Committee, we are already handling another matter where we have invited NHIF. We shall be inviting NHIF to discuss with us that matter.

• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The matter of councilors has been pending for too long. I support the Senator for Kitui County; that councilors deserve to be paid.

• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you should also know that even governors have no pension and this trend is worrying. I thank the people of my county for giving me the opportunity to serve as Senator. You can imagine at below the age of 50 years, I would be home without a pension and unable to access the National Social Security Fund view

• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: (NSSF) dues before I am 55 years. I would have stayed for another 10 years without a pension. Probably, by then because of the challenges of life, just as Sen. (Dr.) Oburu Odinga has said, a majority of people will leave this world not because their time was due, but because of the challenges of life. view
• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this. As a House, we must follow this matter vigorously and ensure that the councilors are given that lump sum. There is also need for an amendment, so that they start to enjoy a monthly stipend to enable them face the challenges of life. view
• 13 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the drought situation in the country is a serious problem that needs urgent intervention. I would like to make the following recommendations. Coming from a county that is one of Kenya’s food baskets, the North Rift is approaching a harvesting season. The Government should take advantage of the food available within the country and ensure that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) purchases maize from the farmers. That will not only assist the Government to have strategic food reserves, which can be taken to drought-stricken areas, but also ensure price stability for the sake of ... view
