Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the partnership is also critical for a number of reasons among them; it has the EU and 79 countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Most of them are former colonies of the EU and this unity ACP-EU is one of the largest global partnerships. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: It builds on a long period of over 40 years of partnerships. It underpins a legally- binding contract; CPA based on three pillars as I said earlier; trade, aid and political co- operation.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Kenyan delegation in this meeting was led by the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Cheboi. I was the co-leader of the delegation. We also had Hon. Ali Dido Rasso, Hon. Lilian Gogo and Sen. Faki in the ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleagues for contributing to this Report. I commend this Report to all the Senators to read because there are a lot of practical solutions that can come out of this because of the nature of the way this parliamentary group operates, where we have three committees as I mentioned earlier, there is the Committee of Social and Environment, the Committee of Economy, Finance and Trade and a Political Committee. You will find that within the structure of this parliamentary group, we deal with very practical and current issues. As the Senator of Kericho ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Therefore, there is need for resources from those who have over-exploited their own regions to shift the resources to develop the countries that have conserved their natural resources and have given them a bank for carbon dioxide to be absorbed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, climate change has been discussed at length and that is why I commend this report to the Members of this House so that all of us are appraised on not only the relationship between Africa, Kenya and Europe, but also on the development agendas that will benefit us. The EU is Kenya’s second largest development corporation ... view

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I join her in sending condolences to the families that have lost their young ‘angels’. It was a very unfortunate situation. As we mourn those who have passed away, we ask ourselves: How many other classrooms are in a situation where we could lose more children tomorrow, next month or in the near future? Before this incident took place, there was something in the press about a school in Ol Kalou where there were cracks all over and parents were already expressing concern. I am a Member of the Committee that will be looking at this matter. I assure ... view

Among the students here, are students from St. Michaels School for the Deaf, a school we visited yesterday as a Committee and I would like to wave at them.

Even before they think of going to Nairobi, there is one around. I encourage the students to work hard. Finally, I would like to thank the Committee.
