• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, you are aware that GMOs were banned in Kenya in 2012 and there was a reason. Let us reflect on the reasons that led to the ban of GMOs in Kenya. It was because of a scientific report called Seralini study that associated cancer among the rats to GMOs. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: We also have issues to do with antibiotic resistance, allergic reactions and many other effects on people’s health. Here we are trying to push Kenyans to eat GMO foods. This is the highest act of irresponsibility on the part of the Government to try and push through GMOs without public participation. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Organizations who are stakeholders in this particular sector have complained that they were not consulted by the Government. The Government has decided to ignore them and move on. Then we are told, the next minute, that maize is being imported into this country. Even before the Gazette notice is published, we are told there are several vessels on the seas ready to deliver maize in Kenya. view
• 22 Nov 2022 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 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is corruption--- view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Statement by my neighbor and friend, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, the Senator for Kisumu, to say that this particular Statement is timely. As you may be aware, and I congratulate my neighbour and friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Mumias Sugar Company is now doing some minimal production. I thank him for supporting that effort. As one of the leaders in the region, I also support and encourage other leaders to support that initiative, in order to bring back Mumias Sugar Company to full scale production ... view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, point of information. I want to inform my neighbour and Hon. Senator that when he talks about “laundry”, he should mention the people involved in that. We know even this administration is involved in laundry, clearing people who have court cases and trying to frame issues before the court. He should mention that instead of blaming people that he cannot even mention by name. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to make my comments on this Bill. From the onset, I support it. However, like other Members who have spoken before me, we will need to have some amendments on this Bill, particularly on the Equalisation Fund, which I find to be very misplaced. It should not be in this Bill at all. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: I have also looked at the proposed schedule under Equalisation Fund and noted that that proposal in itself is discriminatory in the sense that we have 34 counties which have been listed yet we have not been told which criteria was used to do that allocation. I can see my county is not included yet all the other neighbouring counties are included. Counties with lower levels of poverty like Kisumu, Bungoma, Nandi and Homa Bay counties are included. However, all other counties, including Vihiga County, within the Lake Victoria region are not on this list. view
