• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: I will try to be brief. I appreciate Sen. Wambua for bringing this Statement to the Senate. I actually had a statement on the same. A locust invasion was reported in Kenya on 28th December, 2019. Up to date, it is reported that 18 counties have been invaded. Particularly in Samburu, the first swarm of locusts was reported on 9th January. Up to yesterday, there were 34 swarms that have been reported. Ten have been destroyed, while 24 have been sprayed. They are still breeding and are on transit to counties such as Laikipia, Turkana, Baringo and other counties. view

It means that the locusts are taking time to breed here and destroy crops, pasture, livelihoods and forests, and we will have another disaster. We will lose livestock and tourism. In Samburu we have more than 100,000 hectares that have been destroyed by the locusts. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture involved the National Youth Service (NYS) and the military in spraying the locusts. Sadly, one of the sub-counties in Samburu has been affected. Locusts are breeding and are on transit to other counties such as Turkana. The Ministry has no plans to involve the NYS or the military because they say those regions are insecure. So, we will have such regions as breeding places for locusts, and will never end this disaster. I concur with the Senate Majority Leader, that we need to call the CS, so that he sheds light on this disaster. Today ... view
