• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: In doing that, I request the Chairperson of the Committee to go further to tell us whether county governments that are predominantly occupied by pastoralists have created databases of all the animals and how well equipped the departments of livestock are. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: In Narok County, there is a County Executive Committee (CEC) member in charge of Agriculture and Livestock. How are they working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, in terms of ensuring that farmers get extension services and they are not heavily privatised if that is something that is meant to help the public? view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani on the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill. From the onset and I have mentioned this to Sen. (Dr.) Zani, I am a bit confused as to the role of the CRA. Article 216 of the Constitution is very clear on the role of the CRA. It is mostly to recommend the formula to be used to share revenue. However, in this Bill, I note that this Bill now extends the role of the CRA. As I support the Bill, she may need to look at ... view

Although I support the Bill, I would like to engage the Senator more on how we can ensure that the communities ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to comment on this important Statement. I have read about the circumstances that led the doctor to commit suicide in the dailies. We might be blaming the Cubans yet we are the ones who are not looking at the conditions that we set. If it is true that the doctor suffered depression because he requested the Ministry of Health to prepare documentation for him to come back home to see his ailing child and they did not do that, then we are the ones who have failed and not the Cubans. As ... view
