• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, finally, I pray for protection upon our lives as we have lost three Senators so far in the 12th Parliament. Enough is enough. We do not need to lose any more. May God hear our prayer. I thank you. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order. Is the Hon. Senator in order to change our Standing Orders and recommend uniforms for Members of Parliament whereas the Standing Orders and Speaker’s Rules are very clear on the dress code of Members of Parliament? Are we going back to Class One, Two or nursery school? view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I congratulate Sen. Wambua for coming up with this Bill on the mung bean. The Bill is not only of great benefit to Kenyans, but will also improve the agricultural sector, which Kenyans depend on since the initiation of this Republic. There are many challenges in the agricultural sector in this country. This Bill has tried to sort out some of the challenges that generally affect our agricultural sector. When you look at the issue of regulations that have been highlighted here, responsibilities, the licenses, permits and regulations as a whole, you will find ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: The other thing I want to talk about is the policies. We came up with policies on how to regulate irrigation in this country; how our farmers can adopt irrigation and how they can limit themselves to policies that are acceptable to our farmers. However, you find that this is only in books, in Bills and in Acts, but it is not implemented out there. There are people who take agriculture for granted in this country.

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: The demolitions that are happening across the country are inhumane. Most of them are done at night when people are asleep. Right now, we have the curfew and the pandemic, where people are struggling with their livelihood. Looking at what is happening in Kisumu, Kitale, Nairobi and other counties across the country, is of great concern to us as leaders. It is not the best thing to be done right now. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: I urge Members of this House that we need to be on the lookout. If possible, the leaders who are organizing these--- I know that there is an executive arm in our counties, which is working to bring down the economy of this country instead of upgrading it. It is unfortunate that traditionally before devolution, we were not experiencing these things. Right now, county governments are doing their own things.

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: It is very sad that most people have become very poor because of these demotions. They have nobody to turn to because if they go to the same county governments, they are turned back. I pray that this Statement will be taken seriously by the concerned Committee. They should visit the concerned counties, so that these acts are brought to an end and our people are saved. They should be able to invest in what they think is permanent for them. Thank you. view
