• 30 May 2023 in Senate: There is also the issue of equalisation fund. It will be an opportunity for us to engage the public on the place of equalisation fund in this country and how well it should be managed and utilized.

The engagement with the County of Turkana will improve the capacities of the County Assembly of Turkana. It will be for them to understand how legislative processes are run, the best practices in Parliament and their role as people who play primary oversight ... view

• 30 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we can propose that for every session, we have one week where we sit outside Nairobi.

• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I thank the sponsor of this Bill, Sen. Beth Syengo.

We can have the same machinery to do value addition in Kenya and maximize our production of tea in this country. So, the Government must seriously think about the issue of value addition not only in tea, cotton, and sugarcane but in everything, value addition is critical.

He is working very hard to ensure that value addition for Macadamia nuts ... view

• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on the first Petition, which is a petition to request for the formation of a credit management institute, which will regulate credit management profession in the country.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, credit management has a lot of ... view
