• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand in support of the Bill and congratulate Sen. Wambua, who is the Vice Chairperson in the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. From the time he introduced the Bill, I have had the opportunity of walking with him. When the Senate was in Kitui, we did the public hearing and saw the joy and celebration in the hearts of the farmers in Kitui. When we did the public hearing there, I was encouraged because I realized what Sen. Wambua is doing to touch the lives of his people on the ground. As ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Clause 4(e) talks about establishing linkages with international research agencies for the adoption of the best mung bean farming and processing practices. I have picked on this in particular because many of our farmers have been frustrated because no one has helped or linked them with international research agencies. This has led to farmers struggle on how they can produce and process their products. This Bill will help our farmers in different ways, improve their lives and also help them to create their own wealth. Clause 5 says that for the realization of the objectives set out under Section 3, ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the rampant police harassment of civilians while enforcing the COVID-19 protocols and guidelines.

• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity. I also congratulate Sen. Falhada Iman for coming up with this very important Statement. It is very unfortunate that this can happen at a time like this when we, as a country, are losing people to COVID-19. Even before the patients lose their lives, they are taken to the morgue. If our Government will take action, this will comfort the family of the person who was affected by this very unfortunate situation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: This exposes a very negative side of the Ministry of Health and how the staff treat our people at the hospitals. Madam Deputy Speaker, in many hospitals in many counties, people have suffered, especially now when COVID-19 is taking away many of our people. Nurses can even decide to just neglect people as well as doctors. As we cry as a country, we know that our frontline workers are already suffering in many ways. However, it will be good if they treat other human beings like human beings and give them the attention that they deserve. Maybe they are so ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this very important Statement by Sen. Farhiya and also appreciate her for the effort. As I support this, we know that right now there are many Kenyans in ASAL areas who are already suffering because of hunger. They are losing their animals and have no one taking care of them. Any time when drought comes, we lose our livelihoods as she said, animals, human lives, crops and everything, and nobody cares. Every two or three years we have drought, and the Government always knows about it. view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Is it possible for the national Government and county governments, as Sen. Farhiya has said, to always plan in advance so that we do not lose lives for both humans and animals? view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: When this happens, our children who go to school and depend on the sales of the animals cannot go to school. It is something that needs to be given attention. I support the Statement and pray that the Government will have proper plans to mitigate, so that those who are in ASAL areas will not continue suffering, because they have done so for long. view
