• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Rachael Nyamai has just gone out to consult with her Vice Chair, Hon. Mwashetani. I know they have received the message. I will ensure that I pass over this information to her. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the amendment by Hon. Tandaza of putting Achiote into the scheduled crops. Achiote belongs to the family of Bixaceae and in the order of Malvales . As much as the crop takes a long period of four years for it to mature, it has a lot of benefits. We have all been going to the Coast region and, occasionally, we see the colourings of the food. We never knew that, that was from Achiote. Today, that is a very important learning that all of us have acquired. I have also gone through ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: In the human body, we normally have what we call free radicals. These are some harmful chemicals that are released and they require some bit of clearing. So, this Achiote assists in clearing those chemicals and it prevents our bodies from getting cancer as well as bringing in other benefits. So, putting this in the scheduled crops is an addition to the health benefits for which Kenyans will also be able to get. With that carotenoid, it also assists in improving eyesight, and many other benefits that come with it. So, I am convinced that this is a crop that ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to begin from where my colleague, Hon. Maanzo left. Saying the snakes have bred is kind of misleading. What happens is that there are various types of snakebites. You have neuro- toxic which once it bites you, it affects the nervous system and death is within a very short time. Then you have other cyto-toxic, haematogenous and the rest. Despite that, I agree with you on the issue of snakes being included in the schedule. When I used to practice medicine, I used to sign P3 forms for people who have ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and sorry for that interruption. I was saying the policy should come before the Act and when we pass the Bill, it is very unfortunate that even those issues which were addressing the Act have not been taken care of by the ministry because human-wildlife conflict is the biggest issue that needs to be addressed. I remember there was a special committee that was formed headed by the former IG that moved around and was seeking opinions of the public and members on how to improve on this policy. When they came to ... view
