• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: I hope this is not one of the recommendations that will be made. The Senate should have spoken much more. As a Senate and as a family that respects counties, Sen. Sakaja, it will be nice to ask us to donate clothes and food, so that other than making legal recommendations, we can go out there and make sure that those children feel as if they are Kenyans by showing them love. Even if all these people are charged in Nakuru, the most important thing is that those children need to be shown love. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. I was the lawyer of the trustees of the Kamba Agriculture Institute, Mr. Kyale Mwendwa was trustee number one. This good gentleman walked into my office in 2009. I do not know whether you managed to go to South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU) when you were in Kitui. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: You started it? That is even better because Kyale Mwendwa, Titus Mbathi, David Muoka Mutiso, David Mumo and Archbishop Ndingi Mwana a’ Nzeki are the trustees of the land that is 10,000 acres, which has created SEKU in Kitui. When the former President, His Excellency Mwai Kibaki gave this university to the Kamba region, some very delinquent men filed a case against Ukamba Agricultural Institute and I was instructed by Hon. Kyale Mwendwa, Titus Mbathi and Archbishop Ndingi Mwana a’ Nzeki and others. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: On behalf of my family, I pass my condolences to this good gentleman and the people of Kitui. When the eulogy was read, I began to think that Sen. Wetangula, Sen. Poghisio and yourself; people who have dealt with people like Mr. Kyale Mwendwa and Titus Mbathi, must find a way where we can tell the history of this gentlemen when they are still alive. This gentleman went to school with President Mugabe and Buthelezi in South Africa. They have such a rich history about the world, unless we tell the story. One of the most interesting things about him ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: The story of people should not be told when they are dead. It is unfortunate. This gentleman called Kalulu from Mbooni, I sat with him and had a good history. You came to Mbooni and saw the forests. He had a story about how those forests were created by Europeans. People were removed at gunpoint so that the forests can be created. Senate Majority Leader, can we find a method where we honor these people for the work they did, but tell the story when they are alive? view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Three generations from now; the children of your children will not know who Kyale Mwendwa was and what it meant for a person to say, we will not pledge allegiance to the Queen. Can we find a method of telling stories about these people because it is unfortunate for a story like the one I have read today in his eulogy to be in it? It should be in a book in a school where people should be reading. When I visited the Robben Island, I found a former prisoner telling us the story about that prison. The story of ... view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to echo the sentiments of Sen. Omogeni. The Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights saw actual suffering of a tea farmer. Just because the directors had disagreed, a disabled tea farmer was forced to travel five kilometres to and back to deliver tea leaves. I thank Sen. Omogeni for buying him a wheelchair. In most cases, some tea factories exercise discretion on collecting tea. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: I am of the view that a true shared prosperity of this country is making sure that small people like that gentleman who is disabled can make money out of tea. For people 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
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: like Sen. Cheruiyot and the Senator for Nandi, a large portion of the land they occupy has tea. I am aware of a company that is repackaging our tea in Dubai and selling it. It is not that tea is not a marketable crop. Is it possible that Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Cheruiyot and the people they represent are comfortable because they do not make enough noise about tea? In a large part of Kericho, where Sen. Cheruiyot comes from, the tea is being farmed by foreign companies. Nobody is making money out of this. view
