• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I like this Petition. The Committee should see to it that it goes beyond the current content that is being offered in our institutions. Animal Health and Industry Training Institute (AHITI) is well known for animal health. Why we produce a graduate from an animal health institution who does not practice health is something that AHITI needs to think about. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: I appeal to Members of the Committee that if necessary, they should go beyond just inquiring about whether the current products can do it. If they cannot, they must be made to do it. That means that the content of health should come in. There is no harm having an officer who is an expert in range management and animal production and health, because the same AHITI produces graduates who are experts in animal production and health. They also have a course in range management and animal production. We The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: need people who are packaged properly to manage animals in a rangeland situation for beef production and also be able to treat the animals. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: This is a very important Petition. The Committee should find it necessary to invite the institutions and question the curriculum they are using to train the experts that we have. The truth, like Sen. Wetangula said, is that diploma graduates are doing much more that the graduates. The graduates have narrowed themselves to areas of specialization. These are the most useful cadre of staff we have in the field currently. Therefore, it is important that we equip them properly, distribute them properly, and start considering serious beef production. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Like some Members have said, it is true that once upon a time, we used to export beef. Kenyan beef was one of the best delicacies in the world. Corned beef that used to be exported was one of the best products from this country. We need to go back there. To go back there, we must first have experts in production so that we produce the best beef that can be canned, the way we used to do, and we will do well. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Olekina for this Statement. When we saw the preparations by the Chinese immediately this Corona Virus was announced, they were so elaborate. Up to now, Chinese are still moving around covered and are cleaning the City of Wuhan. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: I was so shocked yesterday, like all Kenyans were, when we saw a plane just touching ground at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). The least that we deserve as a nation is the right to information. The panic that has gone through social media and the main media itself was not warranted. For sure, somebody prepared to receive this flight - they must have been - because landing rights are always known. We had the right to be given the information, so that we do not panic if truly there was preparation. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: You ask yourself: how come we are not prepared the way the Chinese have been preparing themselves? If the Chinese prepare the way they are doing and know the kind of virus that has attacked their nation, who are we not to prepare, instead of allowing a plane just to land and then the staff panic on the runway? Doctors panicked as they saw people walk out leisurely as though they had not come from a dangerous country. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with Members that you be persuaded to ask two Committees to look at those issues. I do not agree with the Chairperson of the Committee on Health that he needs to wait for next week. I think it is very important that the Committee on Roads and Transportation also comes in immediately. Let us know exactly what the preparation was before the landing of this plane took place. We must be given that information. Otherwise, how do we know that those people were even screened before they exited China? They may be here also taking ... view
