• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: When we talk about fertilizers, we are talking about food. To ensure food security, we must ensure that we have fertilizer. Areas that used to be the food baskets of this country are now like shells because they can no longer manage to plant maize and other crops that used to add to the food basket in this country. view
• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: When the price of a bag of fertilizer escalates to over Kshs4,000, we are actually declaring that Kenya shall become a food relief country throughout, yet we can manage this and ensure that our people have food. Lack of food can affect health in terms of growth of children because we normally talk about having a balanced diet. Farmers have given up because there are no fertilizers. The issue of fertilizers has been a thorn in the flesh. This is one of the issues that we have been speaking about. We have been saying that taxes should be lowered to ... view
• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Fertilizers have majorly affected the Rift Valley, which has been the food basket. In most cases, that is the area that was affected by maize streak virus. Farmers were relieved recently when cases of the disease were not reported, but they had planted maize and other crops without fertilizer. view

• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Head of State, because during Mashujaa Day, he declared that there is Kshs1 billion for fertilizer subsidies, Kshs1.5 billion for maize and tea farmers and Kshs1.5 billion for coffee farmers. I hope the people concerned will take up this very seriously so that that is implemented. I am sure it will be a relief to our farmers. view

• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this Statement because stadiums play a critical role not only in assisting the youth, but also others because exercises are critical for our health. Stadiums have become cash cows. There are stadiums that were started by the first county governments. There is one in my county which has been using money. Due to lack of stadiums, year in, year out, we lose a lot of money in this country in the name of completing their construction. This country has lost many chances to host certain activities because of lack of standard stadiums. ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. The IEBC should have more time for the registration and that goes hand in hand with funding. They need to source for more funds for that exercise because they need to be well prepared so as to avoid the scenario that we witnessed in 2007 where we had conflict when the election that was not well done. One of my colleagues mentioned that the unrest could be as a result of CBC. I want to inform the House that CBC is one of the best curriculums and we should look for the issues that are ... view
