• 9 Sep 2021 in Senate: When the Senator for Laikipia County was giving his Statement he demonstrated a lot of bitterness. I could understand where he was coming from. That time when it happened to us and it is still happening, you would sit within the town and see the bandits taking over almost everything. So, the question is: Is our Government in control? Sometimes we complain of police brutality and young people are being killed by the police. When our citizens need the attention and protection of the police, they are not there to protect the lives of our people. Madam Deputy Speaker, it ... view

• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also take this opportunity to congratulate you for taking up that role. It is my prayer that you will do it to your best. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: I stand to support this Bill in Basic Education (Amendment) Bill, 2021. I also congratulate Sen. Kwamboka for coming up with this relevant Bill. For those of us who come from dry areas especially the northern part of Kenya, we have all the reasons to support this Bill. As you know, in that part of the country, our people are pastoralists and they move from one place to another. As they do that, their children suffer and cannot afford two meals in a day. So, milk is a special gift that can motivate both the parents and children. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: 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
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: I support this Bill because it seeks to amend the Basic Education Act because school going children in Kenya are provided with milk. For a pastoralist, that is the best gift. I pray that our President will support this because we have always supported him. If he signs this, I am sure the pastoralists will stand with him. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Once this Bill is implemented, the dairy sector will also be promoted because we have a majority small scale farmers and have invested a lot in dairy. By selling their milk, they will generate some good income. This will also create employment for young people and even help one another. Again, malnutrition will be eliminated thereby improving the health of the people. Children will be strong enough and their concentration level in class will be high. At the end of the day, their performance will improve. This will also help teachers because attendance will be motivated by this programme. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want my time to end before I make my last point. I propose that as we implement this in every county, we can set up a milk packaging programme where all milk produced in a county can be sold and packaged within the county. The school going children in that county can then drink their own milk. This will promote the farmer at the grassroots level and help them to be more innovative. In the end, our counties will get business. view
