• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: enough income, but most importantly, ensure that we produce products that are processed and value added in a way that they become competitive in the foreign market. Madam Speaker, the world is becoming a global village. Therefore, the crops that are produced in Kenya, the same are produced in Peru and Brazil. How do we then make our products more competitive? If you go into a supermarket in Tokyo, you will buy a packet of macadamia. Just by the way, it is packaged; you will have a feeling that this is more valuable. Only for you to read the packaging ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a golden opportunity that the Senate has. Agriculture is a devolved function. This is time for us to put our foot down and make sure that we bring the counties on board. It is time for us to tell our governors that we have to show what we have done for our counties. That can only be seen in the input that we have made to mainstream the younger generation into agri-preneur. We also have to ensure that our Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges are offering courses that are in ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I start, I am reminded of today's debate of the call that we have as a leadership of this country. I would want to start by thanking two people. One, Mr. Raila Amollo Odinga. His ability over the years to bend backwards, to put this country forward has been a challenge to many of us. It is known and it is on record. I am one of those who, for many years, have always opposed the leadership of Raila Amollo Odinga. However, having said that, I want to put the record ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: cannot consume the product that they produce; the coffee, milk and tea. Our potential lies in the regional integration, not only the muima region, but the whole of Kenya, but even extending this to beyond Africa. This is why I am standing here as a proud Kenyan to say that, yes, Kenyans have realized that we have a potential as a country when we integrate everybody into the leadership of this nation. Unfortunately, few people for their own selfish reasons, chose to celebrate the failure of one Raila Amollo Odinga because they believe that their political future lies in Baba ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: I want to put the record straight. It is what you do in terms of development. If you bring development to us, if you bring meaningful change to us, then we will stand with you. It is high time that we say this country is greater than any one of us, and we say united we stand in this country. We must fight for African integration; we must fight for globalization, and make sure that Kenya is an integral part of that, not being put in ethnic balkanization because that is outdated politics. Mr. Deputy Speaker, sir, I support. view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to join my colleagues in eulogising our departed colleague. When we came to the House as first-timers, the so- called ranking Members did not spare any moment to make us feel little and unknowledgeable. At times, they treated us with a certain degree of contempt. Sen. Cheptumo was one of the few who held our hands, walked with us, and even told us which Standing Order to invoke when you want to make a point of order. He would even go to the extent of telling you an article of the Constitution that ... view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to end it there by telling the family that it is well in the hands of God. We will continue praying for you. Rest well, Sen. William Cheptumo. view
