• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on the area of corruption, I support the President 100 per cent. One thing that is killing this country is not all this manner of things we are discussing here; but if for every Kshs100 that we produce, we are losing Kshs65, and we are left with Kshs35, how can we call ourselves a nation in a situation like that? We want the war on corruption to be intensified from the top all the way to the bottom, to where our cooperatives are and through the middle class of the civil service. Corruption is not only in ... view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also wish to thank my brother, Sen. Wetangula, for bringing this Motion to the Floor of this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, we have interrogated systems and we have data and evidence that this country has abundant food and is food secure.

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: stone whereas in Mwea we had a bumper harvest. We are expecting another bumper harvest next month but there is no market. We visited farmers as a Committee and their problem is market for their produce while in other places, Kenyans are dying of hunger.

Those who do not distribute food to Kenyans, yet, we have got adequate resources are committing a greater crime. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the essence of devolution was to take services closer to the people. I would wish that the governors of Turkana and Baringo counties would tell this country what they have done with our money. Every time we have a disaster such as this, we find it very easy to accuse the national Government. How is it that Turkana alone has receives Kshs12 billion every year from the national Government, an additional Kshs1 billion Equalization Fund and another Kshs600 million from the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) allocated to the Members of the National Assembly and then ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: It is easy to come out here and say that the national Government should do this and that. If, today, you visited Chwele Market - and I love it - there are women with sweet potatoes all over. They are in the neighbourhood of the places we are talking about. What does it take for these governors to set aside Kshs2 billion to go and get food from the neighbourhood and feed their people? They do not even need to go to Mwea. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I think it is time, as a nation, we learnt to put the blame where it lies. We know that and it was enumerated properly here that we have storage facilities--- view
