• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would actually like to pick up from where my brother, Sen. Methu, has stopped; that is, thank you, Sen. Ojienda, for raising that issue. I hope that when this SGR is going to be laid out, Kisii County will not be forgotten. There has been an announcement which was made by the Government that the SGR will pass through Nyamira and go down towards Kisumu. view
• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. How I wish that this project can be open, transparent even if not to all Kenyans or Senators because we have the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing. My suggestion would be, let the Government disclose and tell the Committee of this House what it wants to do with KenGen, how much it will cost and whether it is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: No one says that PPPs do not work, but once they are transparent and accountable, no one would have an issue if the project is going to be successful. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I give many accolades to Sen. Chute for bringing this very important matter. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to first of all thank Hon. Murgor for raising that issue. My honest observation, Sen. Murgor, is that if the state security operators wanted to know everything that is happening about cattle rustling, all they need to get is drones. They will see who is stealing the cows, where they are taken and see who the owners. However, they will not. Number two, I heard my brother and senior and wonderful friend, Hon. (Dr.) Khalwale, discussing the matter that Hon. Kavindu has raised. In my past life, I was an Assistant Minister ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Hon. Mutahi Kagwe. He is somebody that I know well and have worked with before.Waziri, I welcome you to these murky waters. Secondly, I have listened carefully to what the Cabinet Secretary has said and I wanted to bring him up to speed on something called Pyrethrum. Pyrethrum is one of the products that have been historically very useful in terms of upgrading the income levels and economic activities in the area that I represent, that is Kisii County. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: I was going to bring it with macadamia also. I am just--- view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: The relationship is that these two products are of high value. They also have got a huge international market and their prices are extremely well taken care of. Cabinet Secretary, if you remember, at one time, pyrethrum after tea was the largest product that Kenya was exporting because pyrethrin is natural, and it is even used in aeroplanes. Why is it that we have got success in macadamia and to a large extent the industry is growing, and yet, our pyrethrum has just died? That is the link I wanted to bring. I thank you. view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just heard the Cabinet Secretary comment that when he sees Kenyans demonstrating whether it is in Saudi Arabia, he thinks they are talking about mapambano. I want to remind him that our Constitution allows Kenyans--- view
