• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to send my condolences to the family of the late hon. Suleiman Dori. Also, I want to pass my condolences to the family on behalf of the people of Kisumu County. I had an opportunity to work with hon. Dori in the last Parliament and noted that he was a very reliable ally. He had an opportunity to visit me in Kisumu County when I was serving as a Women Representative. He was a very reliable leader. I also had an opportunity one time to travel with him in a ... view

• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 47 (1) to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern, namely, the menace that is caused by security personnel manning business premises. Mr. Speaker Sir, there is growing concern among Kenyans from all walks of life regarding the manner in which some security guards have executed their duties, which often results in humiliation and embarrassing situations. There is no doubt that there could be an underlying cause to the unprofessional and inhumane behavior. Security companies have flooded the market and ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, a classical case is that of security guards manning restaurants, especially within Nairobi Central Business District (CBD), who are known for denying members of the public access to washrooms, particularly when they perceive that the customer may not be interested in purchasing one of the business products or services. Indeed, what was once an unspoken law has now been put out there, with some premises even posting notices warning the public of hefty fines if caught using the washrooms without buying from them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: In this day and age, given what some unsuspecting patrons have gone through in terms of being drugged, for example, it is only sensible that one uses the washrooms first, if need be, before proceeding to make their order, to avoid leaving their meal unattended. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, business premises that have untrained security guards should communicate the importance of good customer care, courtesy and etiquette, since it has a direct bearing on business growth. Security guards are the first people that customers come into contact with when they visit any business outlet. We all know that first impressions ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. It is self-explanatory. This is a big problem that has been going on for quite some time. There is public outcry about the way the security guards have been handling people in business areas, and even public utilities and buildings. I understand and know that security is of great importance to this country, more so, now that we are threatened--- view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: It is important that it is done in manner that does not cause a lot of harm to not only the citizens of this country, but also the business premises that we visit from time to time. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I beg your indulgence on this. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries concerning the state of Ahero and West Kano Irrigation Schemes. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) Explain measures being undertaken by the Government to mechanize rice production in Ahero and West Kano Irrigation Schemes. (2) State plans put in place by the Government to increase rice production in Ahero and West Kano Irrigation Schemes, noting that achieving food security is one of the Government’s Big Four Agenda. ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the statistics that we have, rice production was introduced in Kenya in 1907 from Asia. It is currently the third-most important cereal crop after maize and wheat. Therefore, it has become a household food. We also know that about 80 per cent of the rice grown in Kenya is from irrigation established by the Government, while only 20 per cent is produced under rain-fed conditions. Most Kenyans living in the rural and even urban areas rely so much on rice as major food. The annual consumption of rice is at a rate ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not debating, but I am saying that we need to improve on rice production because it is of critical importance to this country. Thank you. view
