• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: The issues to deal with here are broad. One of the things of concern is the laxity in implementing the rule of law at the border point. If the CS notified the general public that people could import X amount of maize into this country because there was a shortage, who allowed for the over importation of maize which the CS had not authorised?

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: the question I want us to ask after we have determined the issue of whether or not to pass the amendments, because those are the people who should be held culpable. There are amendments calling for the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Food and Security to take full responsibility. They are the ones to give us an answer as to why Mr. Silas in Kitale is not able to sell his maize to anybody because of the flooding of the market. If they are the ones who will respond to the question as to why they allowed the over importation, then I ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we have crises in this country. We have a lot of issues that affect the farmers. I will be missing the point if I do not mention the issue of sugarcane farmers. Right now in Narok County, there is group of people protesting because Trans Mara Sugar Company has decided to drop the price of sugarcane because the market is flooded. The reason is that they can no longer compete with the illegally imported sugar, which is actually smuggled. These are issues that we must prosecute. We need to carry extensive due diligence, and those people who ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Sometimes I get disappointed when we go out to interrogate matters. We take time to read and look at issues but at the end, we come back and throw out everything that we have done. This time round, I have to commend the Committee. However, I am still wondering; why is it that it took them so long to realise that the responsibility was not with the CS for the national Treasury? We need to look into that so that we can be fair. If something is wrong, you should say it is wrong; and if it is good, you ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am concerned about the period of time that it takes for a Petition to be processed by this House. I want to speak to my brother, the Chairperson of the Committee on Health. We have serious issues and currently, the issue is not only limited to Isiolo County. So, with all the amount of work, if it is a challenge, we can have a further discussion on how we are going to deal with this issue of health. I remember last time, this entire House converted itself into a Committee on Health to look ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Narok County, I would like to welcome the Speaker and the Ambassador, who is a great friend of mine, to Kenya. I hope that with due time, we can interact well. I love the agricultural sector in Serbia and I am sure that we can learn a lot. Narok is a great County and please make a point of visiting Maasai Mara for you to see how beautiful a country, a culture and a people we have. Kenya is a great country and out of all the counties that ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an issue that we have been dealing with in the Committee. I want to inform the distinguished Senator for Bungoma that because of all those changes which took place and because of the long recess we have had, there is certain information that we could not get.
