• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: Apart from being a Senator, I am also a farmer. However, just like other world importers, I import wheat and animal feed from Ukraine. I also import soya beans from Uganda and Tanzania. Madam Temporary Speaker, what I was paying for a kilo of soya beans two years ago was only Kshs60. In fact, in some cases, I would be very lucky and I would pay Kshs56. Today, I am paying at minimum, Kshs120. That is double. If you look at what I am selling milk at, it is still almost the same price as I was selling two years ... view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: It is imperative and it behoves us to demystify these things to the general public for them to know why we are here talking about the need to either increase or not increase the debt ceiling in this country. We need to make it very basic so that Kenyans can understand. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you go to Narok County right now, the area of Olchorro, Mau, is the most productive area in this country. We have a lot of wheat farms, but we have no roads. If the public wants a road, it just calls for the national Government ... view

• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: see us, they say ‘ Mheshimiwa we do not have electricity, please get us electricity. The Last Mile was only brought to some villages’which is the truth. If you go to Narok County, there are certain areas which are pre-dominated by one ethnic group where even a simple grass-thatched house has electricity. However, on the other part which is pre-dominantly by the people who are the indigenous of that area, there is no electricity. We are calling for proper management of debt. If the debt is there, it can help this country ensure that the people of Shangwe, Lolgorian, Mau, ... view

• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: things out there and say they want to raise the debt ceiling so that they can use that money for campaigns. It is for us to be realistic. The National Treasury seldom sends money when the money is supposed to be sent. Madam Temporary Speaker, we were earlier on discussing the Cash Disbursement Schedule in this House. It is quite seldom that the National Treasury will disburse that money because the money is not there. To the other very important issue in terms of management, my colleagues earlier raised the issue of County Integrated Development Programs (CIDPs) in the county ... view

• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: proper fiduciary responsibility on the side of accounting officers. These officers are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that whatever amount of money they are given by the public is well spend. This is taxpayers’ money. It will not belong to the Rt. Hon. Former Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga when he is the 5th President. It is our money. However, he will be able to encourage that collective responsibility to ensure that people can always remember that they are their own brothers’ keepers. That is why when I stand here, I still insist that our cooperation among the countries ... view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion before us, which is adoption of the report of the Sessional Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the CoB Regulations, 2021. view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: I have had a chance to listen to the Senator for Nandi seconding the report. I also had a chance to talk to the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. I have also played a key role in the CPAIC where we have a lot of--- view
