• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill with very few remarks, which I hope the sponsors will take into consideration. I have a problem with all these authorities that are being established and are all based at the national Government. First of all, on the functions of the Authority, there is one that says: “Advise national and county governments on disaster risk management The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 46(2)(a), to make a Statement on a county issue being the listing of farmers from Narok County at the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) and the demand of the alleged outstanding arrears from the farmers by the Co-operative Bank of Kenya.

• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this important and sensitive matter. We must demystify why we have a problem in this country. If my memory serves me right, during an election period, there are goodies which are normally given out. Last May the Government gave out a window for people to import sugar illegally. One of the companies that imported sugar is called Rai Group, which imported 187,275 metric tonnes of sugar. When they imported this sugar, they stored it in a multiple Container Freight Station (CFS) or holding place, which originally ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I borrow 30 seconds? view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, for indulging me with the 30 seconds. It is important for Kenyans to realize that one per cent of the population - the sugar barons - is killing 99 per cent of the population. They are the people who are lining their pockets, using the 99 per cent of the population who buy sugar on a daily basis, to fund their illegal activities. I request the Committee that is handling this matter to take it up. view

Okello at the Serena Hotel with his beautiful wife and we shared a cup of coffee immediately after we were both declared winners in the General Election. I found him to be a very intelligent and interesting person who was determined to work for the great people of Migori. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the late Sen. Okello fought a brave and strong battle against cancer but he lost. This is a lesson that we all have to learn. I ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the right place for this Petition to be brought. Today my sentiments are going to be completely unorthodox. They are going to be different from what I stand for. I sympathise with the Government. Many at times, courts issue orders but we know that this government operates in a very strict budget. Therefore, I put myself in the shoes of the Principal Secretary who has been ordered to make payment by a court yet he does not have a line item in the budget. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
