• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement. It is absurd to learn that some of our children have been arrested by the Ministry that is supposed to protect them. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: If it were not for the HELB loan, I do not think I would be in the Senate today, having come from a very humble family. I think the purpose for which this loan was coined was to ensure that even Mama Mboga’s children could access education. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Right now, we are talking about 100 per cent transition from basic education. Come the future, I think we will have many students trained in the university and many will be from humble backgrounds. With a critical analysis of the HELB loan, you will discover that it attracts very high interests to the extent that even when it comes to the time of payment, the students are not even able to --- view
• 21 Feb 2019 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
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for saying what I wanted to say. I wanted to inform the distinguished Senator for Narok County that we should never call our President to appear before a committee of this House. I am sure the President plays an Executive role, and there are implementers who are supposed to undertake particular activities. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: I also take this time to add my voice to this important Motion on maize. First of all, I thank Members of the ad hoc Committee for the great job that they did. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, all these issues came as a result of Executive Order No.1 of 2017 that led to the exemption of white and yellow maize from taxation. While this Executive Order was issued by the Head of State, there were officers in the line Ministries who were supposed to oversee its implementation. They were to put in place a proper framework which could have ensured there was some limitation on the importation of maize. It is unfortunate that the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Food Security did not put into place mechanisms to ensure that they regulated the quotas that were ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: never be able to achieve it because very many people will suffer from cancer in the near future. We have very many cases of cancer in this country. It is unfortunate that it took the ad hoc Committee a lot of time to unearth this mess. To me, the NCPB is no longer a regulatory body. It used to regulate, control and market all cereals, including maize, but it failed miserably. We are told that they even paid people who are not farmers. This institution is being used by people who want to enrich themselves. It is not being controlled ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: is high time that the people concerned become more innovative and looked for better ways to manage not only the NCPB, but to assist all the farmers. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: A few minutes ago, we were debating the issue where university graduates will be jailed because of non-payment of their Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans. There was a time when the slogan was to encourage them to take up agriculture as a business. However, no youth would ever dare take agriculture as a business. This is, first of all, due to the lack of capital; and even after getting capital through whichever crooked means, at the end of it all, it will end up on the rocks. You realise that farmers in the North Rift are being paid slowly ... view
