I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the delayed upgrading of infrastructure in Ngurubani Town, Kirinyaga County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the road infrastructure in Ngurubani Town, in Mwea Constituency, has not been upgraded for many years, noting that aside from the town being an important administrative unit in the county, it is also the country's major agricultural market and links Kirinyaga County to other neighboring counties; (2) State plans by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) for the upgrade of ...

Asante Bw. Spika wa Muda. Ninaomba kuwasilisha Ripoti ya Mswada wa Sukari wa 2023 katika Seneti.

Bw. Spika wa Muda, sukari imekuwa tamu kwa wenye wanaitumia lakini imekuwa chungu kwa wakulima. Wakati tumekuwa tukizunguka kama Kamati ya Ukulima, Uvuvi, Mifugo na Uchumi Samawati, katika maeneo yanayokuza sukari, tumejionea wakulima ambao wamenyanyaswa na kuteseka kwa muda kwa sababu ya sharia na usimamizi mbaya wa kampuni za sukari nchini. Mswada uliotufikia kupitia mdhamini Sen. Wafula, ulifanya tuzuru mashinani na kuongea na wakulima wenyewe kama ilivyo kawaida yetu. Tulienda katika maeneo ya Busia, Bungoma, Kakamega hadi Chemelil katika Kaunti ya Kisumu. Tulipokea nakala kutoka kwa wakulima wa miwa kutoka Kaunti ya Kwale pamoja na malalamishi yao. Nawashukuru Maseneta wote ...

Vyama vya ushirika vya kusaga miwa kama Nzoia Sugar hawajawalipa wafanyikazi mishahara yao ilhali miwa inavunwa na kupelekwa katika viwanda hivi. Hili ni jambo la kutia hofu. Tuliweza kuweka zoning kwa mipaka ili tuangalie mahali ambapo miwa inapelekwa na pia kwenye uchaguzi wa wanaosimamia ukulima wa miwa. Katika bodi ya Sukari, Seneti hii ilihakikisha kuwa wakulima wana waakilishi wengi zaidi ili malalamiko ya wakulima itatuliwe na kama kuna upigaji kura katika jambo linalotokea sauti ya mkulima itasikizwa. Bw. Spika wa Muda, baada ya miwa kusagwa na sukari kuuzwa, kuna matokeo ya pembejeni ambayo inabaki katika mitambo kama “sukari nguru” na ...

Asante sana, Mustahiki Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi kuchangia Hoja hii kuhusu shida zinazowakabili wale watu waliostaafu kupata pesa zao za uzeeni. Kirinyaga ni mojawapo ya eneo ambalo kuna watu kama hawa. Mimi binafsi nimehuzunika nikizika babangu mdogo kule Kirinyaga kwa sababu ya cancer - na akafa bila kulipwa malipo yake ya uzeeni kutoka mwaka wa 2012 hadi alipokufa. Alikuwa akifanya kazi katika hospitali ya Rufaa ya Kirinyaga. Ni mojawapo wa wengi walionifikia wakilalamika kutolipwa pesa zao za uzeeni. Harambee nyingi zinazofanyika siku hizi ni kwa sababu ya watu wasiolipwa pesa zao za uzeeni ilhali walijitolea mhanga katika kupeana huduma katika ...

kulipa pesa zao za uzeeni ila mkataba bado haujatiwa saini ili kuhakikisha wale watu wamepata pesa zao. Nashukuru kwa bidii iliofanywa kule Kirinyaga ila naomba kwamba waendelee kwa kila kaunti kupatia kipaumbele mipango ya kulipa pesa ya wale watu waliofanya kazi katika Kaunti zetu. Mizigo ambayo wale wazee wanapata ni sisi kama viongozi tunaokabili pamoja na watoto wa wale tuliokuwa tunajivunia kwamba wanafanya kazi katika gatuzi zetu za Kenya. Mustahiki Spika, nashukuru Kamati inayoongozwa na Seneta wa Vihiga, Sen. Osotsi, kwa kazi nzuri na ngumu walioifanya na kuweka nakala na stakabadhi ambazo tunazitegemea siku ya leo kuchangia katika Hoja hii ...
