• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: We want to let you know that we respect you. This is because you stood very firmly by your candidate. Today, you have given us a woman of dignity to sit in this House.

We have a very cooperative staff; very strong, very educative that within a very short time, you will be swimming. You will not be walking in this Parliament, but swimming. The main agenda ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Statement by the Senator for Vihiga, Sen. Khaniri, on food scarcity and the prices of food going up. As a country, we have not taken the issue of food seriously. I remember that as a Women Representative, my idea was to get involved with women to do business. However, when I went to the ground, I realized that there is no food security. Even if you did your best and helped women to get involved in business, there is no way they would succeed in business because they had not ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: As it is today, it is very difficult to find any woman with vegetables because we buy everything from the market. If you consider the issue of chicken and eggs, I did a study on the eggs we consume in the country. I discovered that in Kisumu County alone we consume 12 million eggs. A total of 12 million eggs multiplied by Kshs10 is about Kshs120 million that goes to Uganda. I know that we should be trading with Uganda, but I do not think we should be trading with them on basic things like eggs and chicken. I do ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not an intervention; I wanted to say something after Sen. Pareno on the same. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like add my voice to the concerns of my colleagues. It is very important that wildlife is conserved. All of us know the benefits that accrue from that, more so with the tourism industry. However, much as we want to conserve our animals, they are harmful to the people, just like it has been alluded to by Sen. Pareno. Along the Lake Region, we have many hippos coming from the lake and affecting our people. For instance, in the last rainy season, many people suffered because most of the plants were destroyed by the hippos ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement on the celebration of mother tongue that has been brought by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. A language is a means to an end, but it not an end in itself. We pride ourselves in the knowledge of a language such as English or Kiswahili more than our own local languages, yet we know that for us, especially children, to get our culture very well it is important that we nurture our different languages. This is because we get unity in diversity. If I know Dholuo language very well and I understand the culture of ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: language as compared to the English language one gets the sweetness of a joke or a culture and understands it more if understood it in the language you acquired first. We are losing out more so our children who are living in town set-ups and cities as opposed to those in the villages. It should be very clear to our education system that we should develop the local language in the rural setups. This is because in a rural set-up one will not find multi-languages living together. It is one community, it is just that. It is not therefore, difficult ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: For us to get a proper comprehension of the issues we are dealing with even in our county assemblies, I urge the education system or even Parliament as such, to develop some of these and allow our people to speak in the languages they understand. It will help to understand the Bills and other business of county assemblies. There are many people who are Members of the county assembly, but do not understand many things because of the nature of their counties. It should be developed and encouraged for the greater good of this nation. Knowing a local language does ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make a comment on this Statement. First, we see this very common occurrence from time to time from our uniformed police officers. It is not the first time that this is happening. Secondly, we may not know the circumstances under which this happened because the Statements reads that it was a stray bullet. Therefore, by now, we may not know the circumstances. However, it is important for us to get to the root cause of this matter so that we understand why there was a stray bullet and under ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: I am sorry, Senator. I do not intend to interrupt you, but I expect you to donate a few minutes to Sen. (Prof.) Kamar to wind up. She could be of some interest. view
