• 22 Jun 2023 in Senate: This Bill has come at the right time. We encourage all counties, not only the ones that were listed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I saw the Bill specifying counties where mung is grown. I want to inform my leader that mung beans are also grown in my County and Nyanza, only that it has not been given prominence as a cash crop. I am sure that when this Bill is introduced, we shall strengthen the production of this crop in our region, so that it becomes one of our important cash crops. We have few cash crops in my region. I ... view

• 22 Jun 2023 in Senate: methods of producing fish. My region should engage in production of such crops like mung beans which need little rain and cotton soil so as to replace fish which has been our main cash resource for many years.

• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: At Independence, our leaders like Hon. Kwame Nkrumah, Hon. Sekou Toure, Hon.

They thought that it was important for Africa to become one for Africa to be a power like the USA. However, over the years, sovereignty has taken over our nations and they appear to be more interested to defend their sovereignty. When we are separate, we are very weak and powerful countries can take each one of us and slaughter us separately without caring so much. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I am the Senator for Siaya. I will not speak much on this issue. I have 100 percent confidence in the team which has been selected to look into this matter. I have seen senior people of very fair minds and who have served in very senior positions in this House and elsewhere. I am sure that justice will be done.

The report that has been given is on progress. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what was asked for was the progress report. The short time given to the Committee cannot resolve such a fundamental issue. What Members are expecting is a bit too much within a short space of time, which was given to the Committee. This is a progress report. The Committee has scheduled several meetings with all the people that you are talking about. I am ... view
