• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to start by congratulating the CS. He is new in the Cabinet and I have seen him here for the first time. I worked very well with him when we were both Ministers and he did a very good job. I do not doubt that he will do the same in this Ministry. I want to thank him for giving us the historical events that took place in KCC. I am a beneficiary because my father was a dairy farmer and that is how I went through my education. He has addressed the ... view

Among them, is a huge population both in Elgeyo-Marakwet, where I was born and Uasin Gishu, where I reside. What consideration was given to the farmers? view

I also thank Members of the committee for the good work that they did. I also thank Members of the National Assembly for the additional amendments. I will refer to two of them because Sen. Sifuna has combed through most of them, touching on what I wanted to ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: The other one which captured my attention is Clause 66A. Misuse and abuse of PWDs, not only in this country, but world over, cannot be described. At one point, we were told that many PWDs in Nairobi are from Tanzania. Somebody decided that the best thing to do is to bring faces that are not recognizable. So, they went and collected people from Arusha and Dar es Salaam and brought them to this city. It is sad that they use them to collect a lot of money. I am happy with this addition from the National Assembly because this is ... view
