• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Hon. Alfred Keter told us that His Excellency President William Ruto has 500,00 acres of land in Congo with GMO corn. We today saw the ship docking. The reality of this thing is going to hit us so hard. Farmers in Kakamega will not be able to enjoy their Ugali. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: I wish I had taken Ugali and squeezed it. Ugali made out of GMO corn will be like porridge. They will no longer have bull fighters. The farmers of Rift Valley are going to the streets. They are being coerced and forced to sell their maize before this country is damped with a lot of maize. If you care about future generations and yourselves, say no to GMO. view

• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have tremendous respect for the Senate Majority Whip. However, if history serves me right, the Majority Whip was a Member of Parliament when this Parliament banned the importation of GMO.

• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I consider sugarcane as a poor man’s crop. I will be a happy man the day farmers in Kenya, and particularly in Kisumu, will move away from sugarcane planting. Why am I saying that? Although I support the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Kisumu, we have a big challenge in this country. This is why I want to challenge the Committee. In as far as my colleague has requested for about five issues to be looked into, I want to further request the committee to extend by finding out whether we have done enough research ... view

• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am standing on Standing Order No. 1 but I am very sure there is also another relevant Standing Order only that I cannot remember. We are discussing a Statement that has been brought by the distinguished Senator for Kisumu County. Earlier on, your brother, the Speaker, gave us directions on what we should do when it comes to debating statements.
