• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The So called “Wui Wai Wu”– I do not know if they are companies or what – have worsened the situation in Kenya. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am not talking Kiluhyia but the Chinese Company, “Wui Wai Wu” has brought a problem in Kenya. Since they stepped in our land and started dealing with issues of land, we have had a problem of land grabbing and corruption and compensation has become a problem. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: As a Senate, we need to correct that and the--- view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way my colleague has said, we have discussed this issue. For us to report anything of national importance, we should have, at least, precise and adequate answers. The issue that Sen. Dullo raised does not affect her alone; it affects every person. The Chairperson needs to give us the final details because he is the one to speak. He has been here. I wonder where he is. The truth is that we have dealt with half or three-quarters of the matter. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said three-quarters because we have done something. We have not just been sitting; we have been meeting to discuss this issue. The only thing is that it takes time to get accurate and quality answers from people. We do not need to lie. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report on the maize issue. First of all, I would like to commend the ad hoc Committee that sat for long hours, looking at the issues of maize in the country, co-chaired by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and Sen. Wetangula. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the agriculture sector has ability to foster and derail national development because it is the bedrock of our economy. If you look at the Report, there is so much that has been spoken about by my colleagues. So many findings ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at some of the recommendations, there is a rejection of the Government proposal of the Kshs2,300 price per bag of maize. Similarly, there was also a rejection of the proposed price of Kshs3,600 per bag by the Government. Consequently, the farmers have continued to suffer, ail and being poor. The whole issue here is about benefitting individuals. How long are we going to suffer? view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: My colleague here has said that research and policies will help. However, how many researches have been done in Kenya on issues of corruption? How many policies have been laid on the Table, and have been left to rot on the shelves? None of those policies have been implemented, yet we are talking about having more policies. I beg to disagree. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to find out where the rain started beating us. The rain started beating us because we accepted what was rejected or what has been rejected by the majority. I commend the Committee very much because if we implement all that my colleagues have said here, we shall win the war on corruption. Otherwise, we have a long way to go. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Report and if you look at the Maputo Agreement, Kenya has continued to ignore the 10 per cent that should be set aside for agriculture. Kenya has not honoured the international obligation and commitment that was signed in the 2013 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security. Where are we headed? Kenya has awarded only 4 per cent instead of 10 per cent of the national The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
