• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: This is an amendment Bill that I hope we can support. It does not just become one of those Bills where we come here, spent a lot of time, it goes to the National Assembly but because of interests it does not proceed into becoming an Act of Parliament. This Bill will not only benefit school going children but it will build our local economies. When I speak here, I am a farmer. I invest in dairy farming. My sector is to think about adding value. Instead of counties buying trucks and saying that they are transporting cows or instead ... view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: What is important and I would like to encourage my dear sister in the Third Reading or Committee of the Whole, she can bring in some small amendment into this Bill that we add value. You find a way to invest more in cooperatives, bring in a cooperative aspect in it and encourage county governments to play a key role in the early childhood education. When you look in terms of the services that have been devolved when it comes to education, it is on basic education. Madam Deputy Speaker, if the county government can rally up and bring all ... view

• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Support Program (KDSP) which is funded by the World Bank. These are some of the areas that we should be looking at. I am aware that the former governor Hon Munya in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries is planning to invest billions of shillings in the dairy sector. Why not look at ways to bring these small scale farmers together and say you are going together to set up a plant and this plant will be specifically to deliver milk to school children. You can package the milk at 250 ml and the packaging is not very expensive. ... view

• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, for this Bill to be more effective and have value, I think the sponsor of this Bill, Sen. Kwamboka, should incorporate an area where the Bill encourages cooperatives and women in an area where there is a local school, for them to buy that local milk. We do not want to create a situation where we pass a Bill and then big corporations now find room to start packaging milk for children and disenfranchise the local communities. We need to focus, think and build local. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Without belabouring so much on this matter, I support the Bill and I hope the Senate will support it too. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I, too, congratulate my colleague, Sen. Sakaja, and his Committee for the good job they have done. This is particularly on the issue revolving around the former councilors. Last week, I met some of the leadership of the former councilors in Kajiado, Narok and Samburu counties. When you look at these people and the amount of time they gave to this country, you wonder why sometimes we become so insensitive. We do not recognize people when they serve the nation. This issue of former councilors is very dear to me. I will join and support ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. Let me begin by joining my colleagues to congratulate my dear friend, Sen. Mwangi. I do so because I know that the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources had the highest number of Petitions. I think they had 41 petitions. At some point, they did 17 and today they tabled about 12. We still have five more to go, which is a good thing. As I congratulate them, I heard in your last submissions the Ole Osono group and the issue they have had with Nyakinyua. I request my good friend, Sen. Mwangi, ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek that my good friend follows up to ensure that apart from the Ole Osono group vacating the land--- You remember that it is an issue of 8000 acres. They are living in that 800 acres now and the Nyakinyua group does not live there. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
