• 6 May 2021 in Senate: The coffee farmers of Mt. Kenya Region have tremendous and multiple problems that we are trying to address which date back many years ago. To create the impression that there is any preferential treatment of any farmers in Mt. Kenya region is wrong. I am seeing Sen. Wetangula in the usual style of coaching, Sen. Malalah, on how to answer and say that there is money that has been given in a preferred way to the farmers of Mt. Kenya Region. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is simple. There is no preferential treatment that is preferred against the farmers of Mt. Kenya Region. The problems and challenges that the farmers of this country are facing are uniform. We should be addressing the problems of the farmers, who largely contribute to the welfare of the country and not create division in between. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: I am raising my point of order on what Sen. Wetangula has said. I will not go into the details of narrating to this House and tell a story of how the coffee they speak about is being uprooted in Kiambu and Nyeri by farmers who are desperate. Let me go straight to the point that I want to raise, especially about Sen. Wetangula. He has served in this House for two terms and in the National Assembly as well. First, he is out of order for coming to the Dispatch Box to tell this House that we are out ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. The Senator for Bungoma County is absolutely out of order. He cannot pretend to come here and provide the same answer he is seeking. Lastly, when the history of this country about marginalization is told – I think that is the way it should be – the people of Mt. Kenya Region should speak. We should say 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
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: how we live on portions of quarter acre land while other people in this country still live on thousands of acres of land. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in each region, people have areas they can claim there is marginalization. If we try to pick specific places where we will be saying this section is marginalised because they have this or that problem, we can all historically claim there are areas where we have not been treated right by the systems which were there since colonialism. We cannot attempt to bring another narrative. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge my colleagues, if you want us to build a good country for all of us, let us focus on how we will build a modern-day country with equal opportunities, with our new devolution and Constitution. Let us not dwell on the past and paint a wrong picture that divides this country and sends the wrong impression. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought you just gave a ruling a few minutes ago on the way to proceed. However, I am unsettled when again, you allow the Senator for Kakamega County on the same trajectory. You alluded very well to what Sen. Sakaja said. Now, he is naming people and saying we have never had this and that. Why is he not questioning why we have a Lusaka as the Speaker of the Senate? view
