• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: What is important is that these people must be regulated. If they practise unregulated, they become a disaster to the society. I think that is the main point that Sen. Ngugi is bringing to our attention, that regulation is critical. If you get a quack practising as a technologist with no certification and is also unqualified, then we are in danger. That is why this Board must be in place. view

• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Statement that has been brought by Sen. Kasanga and I think I must define this position. Mental health of psychosocial support does not require that you become domiciled in a hospital bed. That is the concept that we must demystify. All we are saying is that is these are all positive social development attitudes when you are able to visit your doctor or health worker in a clinic and have a dialogue with that individual. You are able to develop the relational ability between a doctor, nurse, and psychologist with ... view

One of the fundamentals in society is to get organized socially, politically and economically. When you combine the three of them, socio-economic and political development, the country or community makes an advancement in that area of their interest.

In Kisii and Nyamira counties and many other counties, for example, we have shrinking land masses because of the population. It is not possible to carry out large scale farming in the little land strips that have been allocated to various homes. Therefore, farmers should come together like they do in Kibbutz. In ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: The county governments and national Government and donors who are interested in community activities can support farmers by establishing cooling facilities for their bananas. They can do the simple aspect of collection from the farms to the storage points. Madam Temporary Speaker, you will remember that this House passed a Bill which is now an Act of Parliament. That is The Warehousing Act. This is the nature of the kind of things that will be created at every given points. Farmers or organized groups will be able to deposit agricultural produce in that warehousing arrangement. They will have collection and ... view
