• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply. I start by thanking all the Senators who have contributed to this Bill. Indeed, it is a very comprehensive Bill. As you can see, were it not for the timing of it, it is a Bill that would have drawn a lot of interests for obvious reasons. Just to echo what most of the Senators have said, agriculture is the mainstay of our country. As legislators and leaders, we have a duty to ring fence that which is our own country and, especially this regional agricultural production. Sugar conversations have gone ... view

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Alternative dispute resolution is definitely the way of the future, it is part of our Constitution. It is good to see it being mainstreamed in some of our Bills and that is something that we have to celebrate. As I thank all the Senators who have contributed to this important Bill, I would like to say that this is the sort of Bill that is long overdue and would be good if it could become an Act before we dissolve Parliament in this session.

• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: The political parties should not underestimate and understate the importance of demonstrating fairness. I call upon them to conduct the primaries with fairness. Let us ensure that Kenyans get the best leaders. It is the duty of parties to ensure that their nominations are done with a lot of fairness, credibility, taking cognizance of the leaders that the people want. Let them promote this. Let us also see gender parity this time round. Let us see inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and young people in our political parties. I am proud of my own party the Wiper Democratic Party. ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my views and thoughts on Sen. Khaniri’s Statement.
