• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: doing the right thing and what is good for humanity. They will not just focus on what is good for themselves, but for the county or country. Madam Temporary Speaker, making this available at the county level will also make the process more participatory, unlike what it is right now. There was recognition of a gentleman we are calling the githeri man. That was done arbitrarily because there is no mechanism that we can question and present views to the appointing authority or the authority that decides who is to be awarded.

• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will now make my contribution to the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, who together with Sen. Wetangula, chaired the Ad hoc Committee on the Maize Crisis. view

I was surprised and shocked to learn that the Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation intends to import maize, mainly because the issues we laid out in that Committee last year had not been resolved.

For that reason, when the Strategic Food Reserve that is in charge of food security says that we have maize, there is no way the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Irrigation should contradict that statement. view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was also in shock mainly because they want to import maize in July when farmers are harvesting.

• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: stores before the decision to import is made? Otherwise, we shall continue to have the problems we had last season when the importation was done in a very irregular manner. The same way that importation was carried out to the detriment of the farmer, is still the way that is being followed right now by the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Irrigation. He needs to establish the facts then give us the status of the recommendation we made this far. He can then decide whether he is importing and the quantity to import. We are not opposed to Mexico or ... view
