• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Wetangula for bringing up this matter. This is not a matter that affects a single county or a House of Parliament; it affects the entire nation. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Chair has ruled previously that Statements of this nature need to be prosecuted within the Committee. However, this is a kind of Statement that I appeal it be brought to this House, sitting as a Committee of the Whole. This is because it is extremely important and is about resources of colossal amounts. There are people who say that close to Kshs70 ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, technically speaking, I ought to have raised this when Sen. Murkomen was on his feet because he is anticipating debate. From wherever he sits, he has no capacity to tell what Sen. M. Kajwang is thinking of. Maybe, I am not even thinking about the maize report. Maybe, I am thinking of the fish that I will be eating later on in the day. I want you to rule him completely out of order for trying to insinuate that I, Sen. M. Kajwang, who brought a report here in the House, is considering or contemplating, opposing or ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not intend to take the 17 minutes because I believe that this is a very important Motion that needs urgent and expedited attention by the Senate. Let me make it clear that I am speaking to the amendment to the Report rather than to the Motion itself. I must make it clear that I support the Motion, the Report and the findings that were brought and tabled in this House. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, yesterday when I rose to object to the amendments, it was on certain basis. One, this Select Committee was given 60 days to determine this matter. It was then given an additional 45 days to conclude its work. After 105 days, on 25th November, 2018, six out of nine Members of that Committee adopted a report that indicted certain persons and said they should take responsibility for flooding the market and causing misery to maize farmers across the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, on 26th November, 2018 Sen. Wetangula, my leader in the Coalition, signed and tabled the ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I fear that we have a situation where we are trying to democratize punishment by spreading it to as many people as possible. However, having read the report alongside the appendices that were tabled before this House, some of the fears that I had have been laid bare. The amendment sought not to delete the responsibility of the Cabinet Secretaries for National Treasury and the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, but to add the Inter-Ministerial Taskforce. Madam Temporary Speaker, the report that we picked from the table did not have the detailed appendices. The question on my ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Vice Chairperson of the Committee for that information. In conclusion, I support the amendment, the main report and the recommendations that this Committee has brought before us. I urge the House that we need to belabor the point because the maize farmers out there are looking up to us to help them understand who the cartels are. There are some who believe that the cartels sit here with us. I would not want, through technical objections, to appear as if I am a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: representative of those cartels. I, therefore, stand with the maize farmers in their misery and plight. I encourage this House to expeditiously deal with these amendments so that we can go back to the main report and return a verdict to the people of Kenya. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to oppose the amendments to the Report. I listened very carefully to the Mover of the Motion; my teacher and a good Professor, Sen. Kamar, when she was moving it. There is one statement that she made then and I even wrote it down. She said that flooding of maize in this country happened after the Kenya Gazette notices lapsed. That is something that is on record and also captured in the Report that was brought before this House. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the amendment seeks to broaden responsibility, to move from specific public officers, who in this case is the CS, National Treasury and Planning and CS for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation to a committee of a dozen or so people. view
