• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was talking about injustices. As I speak, people from my county and Kericho County, for example, have suffered a lot in terms of the Mau Forest injustices. I would wish that this Committee finds time in future to look at what is happening. People in Mau have been taken round in circles, and this has been used as a political game. In every election year, politicians promise the Mau people that they will assist them to settle, if not in Mau, elsewhere. I would wish this Committee to look into that issue. Once again, ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate this Committee, through its Vice-Chairperson, for what they have done. According to what has been going on, nobody imagined that they could have done even one thing. However, I am surprised that they at least dealt with a number of issues. I congratulate them for that. 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
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Listening to the list read out, they now have new blood in the form of new Members. These are very powerful Members, and I am sure that it will be one of the most active Committees. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Committee should be on its toes, particularly when the next Chairperson will come on board because of the fact that it looks at important human right issues, which normally affect our country and many other countries. Issues of disaster management should be brought to speed to ensure that when disasters are experienced in our country, they are managed in the ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Once again, I congratulate this Committee and the Vice Chairperson. In future, if we are allowed, we will propose her to be the first Nominated Chairperson of a powerful Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate her. view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for also giving me this chance to contribute to this Statement. I am opposing it. I come from Bomet County near Mau Forest. By the way, it is Mau Forest just by name; there are no trees there any more. There are many things we can gain from trees without having to cut them. For example, we can get fruits and honey. In the past, forests used to even be a home to the Ogiek Community. However, right now, they have no place there because they do not cultivate crops, but rely on berries from ... view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I remember when I was growing up, there was fresh air around my place. However, right now, it is not there because the forest cover has been cleared. Secondly, we had big rivers that were flowing, but all of them have dried up. In any case--- view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to support the Statement, I also want to congratulate the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. He is a wonderful Chairperson having served as the Minister for Cooperative Development and Marketing in the past. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Yesterday I attended a meeting where they had summoned the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Agriculture and Irrigation. During the meeting, I discovered many things which have been engineered by the Committee and are ongoing. At this particular moment, this country is yearning to be food secure. I encourage them to continue with the spirit. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on Enhancement in Allocation of Research Funds towards Higher Learning. The institutions of higher learning in our country are mandated to conduct teaching, learning and research. Research funding is necessary because it enables the institutions of higher learning to produce fully baked graduates into the job market. A country is as strong as its intellectual capital. Research in our universities is weak because of lack of funding. We have many problems in our society, but they cannot be solved without proper research. We have climate change issues and diseases ... view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: empirical data to address such kinds of issues. To enhance some of the Big Four Agendas such as agriculture and manufacturing, we require research findings. The world over, universities are normally ranked based on the types of research or the amount of research that is going on in those universities. It is unfortunate that our universities are normally ranked very low save for the University of Nairobi that appears among the top 100. The poor ranking is as a result of poor funding. Madam Temporary Speaker, successful economies all over the world exploit the knowledge and innovation gained as a ... view
