• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: we want to change the cycle of the Meru farmer from miraa to coffee, we should have research that brings in various varieties of coffee. Madam Temporary Speaker, those are some of the issues specific to the statute. I do not know if Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri is here. Yes, he is. He will remember the uproar that we had here when the current Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperative Societies, took money from the World Bank, denied all parts in the country and put it in one region. We must take away this discretion from errant CSs. ... view

• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is okay. That journey tells you how coffee was important. As I talk about coffee, Sen. Ndwiga will tell you. About 20 years ago, Vietnam imported Ruiru 11 seedlings from Kenya to start growing coffee. Today Vietnam is number two to Brazil in the growth and export of coffee. We gave them our seedlings, Ruiru 11. They are now second to Brazil in the growth and export of quality coffee. In Kenya, we are still struggling to reinvent a new statute to manage our coffee. You go to the countryside and I am happy you have ... view

• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: it, top dress, weed, or what to do with your berries if there is frost and you do not know when to spray. This is what they should do. I am happy that you have incorporated this. As my brother from West Pokot County walks in, West Pokot by the way is now the new frontier for coffee growing. I want the Senate Majority Leader to join this House in condemning CS, Hon. Munya for taking all the money from the World Bank and forgetting that West Pokot, Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Kisii, Nyamira, Kakamega, and Vihiga counties grow coffee. He ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Vihiga County is now distinguishing itself as a small county with big problems. That is not good because we want devolution to work and devolution must work. Under Article 96 of the Constitution, the last line of defense of devolution is this House, when we have this kind of unique but avoidable difficulties, then this House must rise to the occasion. I have read through this Statement. What I fail to appreciate is what Sen. Murkomen, the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet, said, that if there is a standoff between the executive, then we can understand but a ... view

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge you not to just refer this Statement to a Committee to look at but that you direct the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and Committee on Finance and Budget to either visit Vihiga County or summon the leadership of the County Assembly and County Executive of Vihiga County to appear before the committees and deal with the matter. A further precedence to this matter was the standoff in Bungoma County where the governor had received the money for salaries but mischievously diverted the funds to pay suppliers. Thereafter, the governor of Bungoma County pretended ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Milgo’s Committee for bringing this Bill to the Senate. This Bill will have far-reaching positive consequences on our youth. I will be fairly brief. I support the Bill in setting out clear definitions and provisions in the establishment and management of VTCs and in centralizing standardization. Without setting standards in education in the country, we would soon have private entrepreneurs setting up vocational training centres, collecting money from citizens and giving them very shoddy products. Madam Deputy Speaker, this standardization is also very important because we want an equitable growth of our economy ... view
