• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir and Sen. (Prof.) Kamar as she is my teacher and my senior. I want to inform Prof. Kamar, who for the record when I was at Moi University, she was a very highly regarded administrator at Chepkoilel Campus. What I want to inform Sen. (Prof.) Kamar is that when the President came here last week, he said that the challenges at Moi University are governance problems and that the problems at Moi University are unique. They might not be similar to the problems of the University of Nairobi or the funding model as applied ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: institutions. This means that the problem is localized to the council. It is the University Council that has the responsibility of making certain decisions of financial administrative nature. When I was at Moi University, I was a Secretary General (SG), so I would represent the students in the Senate and in the University Council. The council that has made the decisions that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar has referred to, which she refers to as generosity, and I thought she would refer to it as irresponsibility, still seems to be in office. I want to inform her that university which you worked ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for your generosity. I come from a cotton growing zone. I am a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is synonymous with the history of cotton growing in my region. When a pioneer Adventist pastor called Pastor Carscallen introduced the Adventist Church, he also introduced modern schools and modern medicine. It does not mean we did not have medicine. He, however, brought in the modern pharmaceuticals. He also introduced cotton as a cash crop. Over the years, the Rachuonyo region and the area around Kendu Bay ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: We need to innovate to ensure that this board that has been proposed in this Bill drives innovation and the adoption of technology. After the repeal of the statutes that abolished slavery in the USA, they still continued growing cotton. However, they decided to turn to technology to replace the slaves and forced labor. Therefore, I support the establishment of the Cotton Board. We, however, need to be very clear and tell the country what our strategy and thought process is with regards to agriculture. This country has evolved our strategies and thoughts around agriculture. When the late President, His ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: take the approach that the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has taken, where distribution of fertilizer to tea farmers is not done by a central bureaucracy but is done through the tea factories. That should apply here, so that we do not have situations of those Linturi fertilizers finding their way in cotton farms and therefore compromising the output of our cotton farmers. I support this. There are many things I would have said about this, but ultimately as a country, we need to find those things that we are good at and invest in them. Cotton would be one ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I make my comments on this Motion, I would like to wish the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, Rigathi Gachagua, quick recovery. He is still the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya as at 9.19 p.m. on the 17th October until any decision is made. We pray that God gives him the strength and good health to continue pursuing that responsibility. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the counsel for the National Assembly, that is, the venerable James Orengo began his opening statement with a quote from scripture. Allow me also to go to scripture. This ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: or accused of adultery be stoned to death, unfortunately, it looks like the same punishment was not prescribed for men. It was just for women to be stoned to death and yet it takes a man for a woman to commit adultery. Tonight, because the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya is just like the Law of Moses, it says if you are found guilty of political adultery, you should be stoned to political death. It is called impeachment. You are sent into political purgatory for 10 years. You cannot run for office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must deal with ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am sorry, Deputy Speaker. The Deputy President has committed political adultery. view
• 16 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my clarification is on paragraph 47 on the charge sheet. The National Assembly alleges that the Deputy President has several proxy companies and one of them is Agrobriq Investment Limited. In paragraph 48, the National Assembly alleges that Bhavika Nathalal Hirani is a proxy of His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua. Could the National Assembly provide some evidence because ground number seven is framed as serious reasons to believe that the Deputy President has committed a crime? Could there be some evidence to convince the House that there could be reasons to believe so? Finally, on paragraph 74, the ... view
• 16 Oct 2024 in Senate: Finally, which is this cooperative society whose name has been withheld? Could that information be provided to the Senate? I thank you. view
