• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: regarding the plight of wheat farmers in Narok County and the whole of Kenya due to the influx of imported wheat into the country. In the statement, the committee should- (1) State whether the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Economic Planning are working together to determine what would be the shortage of wheat after swiping all locally available wheat.

• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Also, I thank the Senate Majority Leader for allowing me to inform him. The Council of Ministers, whose chairman is the current Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Treasury in South Sudan, is comprised of Cabinet Secretaries of East Africa who deal with the Treasury. So, these are the members who go and sit together to agree on what will be zero-rated to allow millers to import wheat. We expect our Cabinet Secretary to agree with the Council.

• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: Leo hii tunaeka kumbukumbu ya milele tukimkumbuka marehemu Leonard Mambo Mbotela, mtangazaji ambaye tutamkummbuka kama mmoja wa aliyetumia ucheshi ili kukosoa maadili yetu kama Wakenya. Nakumbukuka vizuri nilisoma ya kwamba mwaka wa 1982 wakati wa mapinduzi hapa Kenya, aliwekewa bunduki na kulazimishwa kusema ya kwamba “serikali imepinduliwa.” Lakini alipomaliza, aliuliza, “Je huu ni ungwana?” Kumaanisha ya kwamba tunaweza kutumia ucheshi ili kukosoa wakenya kwa mambo wanayofanya. Ni lazima tuhakikishe ya kwamba kumbukumbu hizi za milele tunazozieka hazitabaki katika makaburi ya Langata. Ningeomba tuwaenzi na kuwaheshimu watu waliojitolea kutuweka vizuri kama wananchi wa Kenya. Lazima mwili wake ufukuliwe na kuzikwa mahali ... view
• 20 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to make some comments on two Statements briefly. The first one is the Statement brought by Sen. Peris Tobiko on Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Kajiado County. It is imperative that all of us should be concerned about GBV. For the past three months, seven women have been raped in Magadi. That is something we should be worried about. To make matters worse, yesterday, one of the rapists who was arrested by the police was released on bail. It is upon us as Parliament to try and figure out how we are going to ... view

• 20 Feb 2025 in Senate: been going on. Sometimes it happens because of our lifestyles. I think it is a matter that we cannot strictly limit to three issues raised by my colleague. How many people have been compensated? It is not only about compensation. If you compensate some of them today, what about tomorrow? It is about making sure that the boundary is clear. The land belonging to the Maasai should remain to the Maasai, while the one that belongs to the Kuria should remain to the Kuria. Another fact that is not out here is that along that border, there is no-man’s land ... view
• 20 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for adding me one minute. Let me summarise and put it this way. We have many challenges in that area. There is no-man’s land, which is around 3,000 acres along Kuria-Narok border. I am happy with Sen. Eddy because we have done a lot of work together in the community. We are making it known that when the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations goes there, it is not only going as for compensation. What are you compensating people for? Solve the problem once and for all, so that the Kuria people ... view
