• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: When you cross breed animals and graft plants, you actually modify them genetically. When you craft plants, you modify them genetically. What we are saying here is that we want to get a breed of crop called maize that will do better in Turkana, Samburu, Maralal and in the dry regions. We optimize the seeds to have better production. When you talk about the food that is being made for animal feed, we know that the products that are fed to animals we eventually consume them. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Therefore, I find that Senators are misleading the House that GMOs are actually meant to poison humans and that is not true. GMOs have been made to optimize production to achieve better products. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not want to be informed. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my name is Wahome Wamatinga. I also rise to support this Motion. I have a lot of technical knowledge having worked in the water sector in the last 20 years. The problem we have in this country is that when we designed the dams, we had not looked at the dynamics that will change in the future. We had not foreseen a situation where deforestation will take the dynamics that it has taken. One of the biggest challenges in this country is that all the dams that were constructed, do not retain a third of their ... view

• 15 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support. When we talk about EAC, thoughts of Pan-Africanism arise. I wish to ask Members that when they go for elections, they should look at people who will put the face of Kenya in that Parliament. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion of engaging Eng. Koome as the IG of Police. The past five years have been tough for this country. We all know that the police force was used by the ruling party to oppress those perceived to be against the system. With Eng. Koome’s experience and exposure, it is my wish that this will come to pass. I hope he will not go back to where Mr. Kinoti was and start oppressing the perceived opponents of the system. view

• 9 Nov 2022 in Senate: Eng. Koome, having the experience, exposure and being an engineer like me, he has what it takes to be a good IG. I believe he will not take the same path. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important to note that Mr. Koome will get into office at a time when we are experiencing a very high number of suicides among the disciplined forces. I recommend that he engages positively with the officers so that they get a way of ventilating their anger because the incidences of officers turning their guns against themselves and colleagues are quite alarming. Mr. ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to welcome the pupils from Nyeri County, Kieni West sub-county to the Senate. The journey to this place - for all of us - has not been easy but they have what it takes. After completion of their education, they too can work very hard and join the Senate. This is the House that regulates, controls and oversights the county governments. I am pleased to say that these are pupils from humble backgrounds; one of the drought ravished areas in Nyeri County. I welcome them to this House, so that they can see ... view
