• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I want to support this Motion. Sen. Outa is equal to the task. I was with him in the 11th Parliament, I know how capable he is. I also want to support the sentiments of my colleagues that when it comes to health, agriculture and all devolved functions, we should all speak in unison for us to be heard. We need to support the work of these committees and we need to make the ministries concerned to support the devolved units. When we talk about health, we simply talk about Level 4 ... view

• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion on the extension of time for this very important Committee. Tea being one of our cash crops, we need to look at how to improve on its production. Food production in this country is faced by a lot of challenges from production, processing to marketing. Therefore, this Committee needed a bit of some time to look at the challenges facing this sector, and also to come up with a report that may be able to advise on the way forward for this important sector. Food marketing in this country is faced ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was shocked that you did not see my request and we are very few in the House. Thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. From the onset, I congratulate the Members who attended this Forum of Parliaments of member States. Issues of these Inter-Parliamentary organisations need to be taken seriously. It is important that we also learn from these conferences and the resolutions followed-up and implemented by member States. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Looking at the areas of interventions by these forums of Parliaments, peace and security are issues that are important to member states. The EAC needs a very serious discussion on peace and security. At our boundaries, quite a number of issues surrounding security are reported every day. Talk of Migingo Island and the Kenya- Tanzania boundary at Namanga; insecurity is being reported. It is either in terms of trade, cattle rustling, boundaries, trade related crimes. There is a lot that we need to discuss about security as member States. We need to push forward the issues of integration in terms ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we speak, we have other countries in EAC that have allowed free movement of goods from one country to another. We still have many countries that have a big problem in allowing free movement of goods. The other day, Tanzania decided to auction a large number of livestock from Kenya. In another incident, chicks which were being transported in a lorry were burned by the Government of Tanzania yet, every morning here in Kenya, there is a long queue of lorries entering Kenya carrying mangoes and milk from Tanzania. Only today, we had a lorry ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: For democracy and good governance, we need to strengthen democracy in the EAC member states and have free and transparent elections in all member states. These are things on which we need to learn some lessons as to how we are doing. We need to discuss which member states have strong electoral systems which we can admire and copy as a region. Still on good governance, there are a number of countries talking about corruption every day, starting from our own country. Corruption has really cost us as a country. The moral fabric of our people and institutions has disappeared. ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: As my other colleagues have said, these forums of parliamentarians and conferences are very important and educative. However, as we interact we need to look at what has been learnt from past conferences and what we can carry to the future. We should not just learn and collect a lot of information without implementation. view
