• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: We are in the 21st Century and Sen. Olekina is a true manifestation of this century, just looking at him. So, for him to imagine that we do not need these drones for us to have this photography licensed--- view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Sakaja for that information. I also wanted to say that policies are supposed to be facilitative not to prevent or be prohibitive.

• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Policies in this country seem to be fighting with wananchi; they seem to be fighting with the people instead of helping the people facilitate their work. That is one area that shows talent. We are slow in this country in developing and encouraging talent. America is known worldwide for its talent development; their film industry is so huge. They even use that industry probably to sell their agenda to the rest of us, Hollywood as an example. It should not just end in shooting videos for weddings or birthdays, environment or in the Maasai Mara, but it goes beyond that. ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Statement by Sen. Wetangula. I was in the Ad hoc Committee that investigated the crisis in the maize sector. As Sen. Wetangula said, we found maize that was already in bad state in silos in Eldoret. We recommended in our Report that it be destroyed. We met KeBS and suggested to them to destroy it. However, it seems like that maize was never destroyed. It is in our shelves in supermarkets and on our dining tables. view

• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was surprised to see in our supermarkets the price of maize suspected to be contaminated with aflatoxin reduced from Kshs139 to Kshs79, instead of it being destroyed. What does that say about our country? Are we saying that we would rather see people die than suffer losses? I very much wanted to contribute to this issue since I love ugali. About 65 per cent of Kenyans consider ugali as their staple food. They are not just from one community, but across the country. It is also a fact that about 35 per cent of all the ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute in support of this Bill by the distinguished Senator from Makueni, Sen. Kasanga. As usual, this is a well-researched Bill. She does a very good job and I am privileged to contribute to it. It seeks to provide for settlement of civil disputes by other ways other than the court. Our forefathers had no courts, but no matter the complexity of the disputes or problems, including marital disputes, they were resolved in this manner that is suggested by this Bill. We had no divorce in those years, although there ... view

• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: The Bill encourages the courts to consider or refer matters to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). This Bill also requires that a court first establishes if other mechanisms have been sought, mainly the ADR, before a matter goes to court. view
