• 7 Dec 2023 in Senate: We hope that overloading will come to an end. So, we want this statement to go beyond the Thika incident. Let them check whether there is any behaviour that is unbecoming. I hope the Committee can go to a station and walk incognito into matatus even before they identify themselves. I am saying this because we should be reaching a level where matatu touts have their names on the uniform, so that we know who they are. In fact, beyond the name, there should be a name and a telephone number. We need to be able to identify them. The ... view

• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. I congratulate the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations for a job well done. I say so because I happen to have become a friend to the Committee on the last day of their tour of Eldoret City to be. I was very impressed by the detailed manner with which the Committee was raising issues. I was also impressed by the interaction between our Committee and the public. It was a public participation per excellence . People were given opportunities and not restrained. Madam Temporary ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: divergent view, you wanted that so that you could understand exactly where people were coming from. I congratulate the Committee and thank them for doing a very good and thorough public participation that other Committees can learn from. It was very impressive. Eldoret is a place that we have all waited to see become a city. We tried as much as possible to bring this forward. When I was the Senator for Uasin Gishu, we tried when the case for Nakuru was on. There are quite a number of things that the Committees then said that we needed to clear ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Yes, industrialisation started in Eldoret way back. We had the Rift Valley Textiles Company (Rivatex) and the Raymonds that used to export blankets, bedsheets and curtains. We know that they are revived now. Of course, Raymonds was rebranded as Ken Knit. Rivatex is back on its feet and running. A good number of companies have come to process food products. We have people who are processing and exporting vegetables. We export flowers, vegetables and fruits such as avocados, and passions. It is true that quite a bit is not being exported through the international airport in Eldoret because of that ... view

We know that very soon residents of Uasin Gishu will be competing with AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia. We are yet to know the name we will call ours, but it will be there. On the other hand, we also have realized that youth from other corners of the country are now training for athletics, which is very good. Athletic tourism is the best thing. We have seen ... view

• 11 Oct 2023 in Senate: From the onset, I want to say I support the Digital Health Bill. I support it because I think it is a Bill whose time had even come and passed. We should have done this long time ago. There are so many countries that are benefiting from telemedicine currently and we are very far from it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support specifically the issues of telemedicine electronic health records. I know I had worries and I wanted to look at what has been used to protect personal data. It is very clear from this Bill that the only people who ... view
