• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move- THAT clause 32 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) (c) by inserting the following new subparagraph immediately after sub-paragraph (iv)— (v) dieticians or nutritionists. This is one of the fields to be considered when appointing members to a county food security committee. This is because the two disciplines are important in not only achieving food security, but also ensuring that the food is nutritious and fits the purpose. view

• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in welcoming my brother, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko. He is very well known to me. I can assure you that this House is now richer with his presence here. I have served with him in the past; both as Members of Parliament and in the Cabinet. He is very well known to me. I am sure that the vigor with which he used to serve is the same vigor that he has come with to this House. This House will benefit a lot from him. I welcome my brother and I wish him ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I happen to serve in the Committee of Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. It is shocking that we have many Petitions touching on resettlement of people who are evicted from either forests, slums or who occupy plots that are not theirs. Today in the Committee, we heard a harrowing story of a woman who spent seven years in the forest fighting for independence of this country. Last week, she was kicked out of her only plot in Gilgil by members of the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU). This phenomenon and the recurrence of evictions which ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I am surprised that Sen. Sakaja is opposing this Motion, yet he did a very strong presentation as to why Sen. Outa should go to the Committee on Health. The late Sen. Oluoch was also a Member of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. As the Chairperson of that Committee, I am thoroughly disappointed and the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader should hear this. That Committee has a big agenda. It is one of the Big Four Agenda items and a devolved function too, just as health. However, most ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, you have not said which committees you have committed the petitions. view
