• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report has delayed because the famine is experienced countrywide and it affects many pockets of the country. They are attempting to give us a comprehensive report of both what they are doing in terms of the activities going on now and what plans they have for the rest of the country and that will answer the question. I also expect to be informed of other issues that I have raised to them on phone because that might be necessary. It is just that we want to give a comprehensive answer. view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I do not have an answer this afternoon. However, I am in constant touch with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Devolution and Planning. He has acknowledged receipt of our requisition to get an answer. As he does so, he should know that the significance of this question is being felt throughout. I know he is actually preparing and compiling data from the rest of the country. Last week, grain was released from Galana-Kulalu Food Security Scheme. Maize harvested last year was released to the people of Tana River and there is some grain being moved to ... view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I came at 1.00 p.m., it is when I got the information which I have relayed to the House. By that time, I had not received your ruling. However, as you have ruled that we need an answer within the next 24 hours, I seek to be allowed to revisit the CS again and see whether I could bring an answer by tomorrow according to your ruling. I still urge the House to allow me to follow up and come with an answer next week as the CS has promised. view

• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform Sen. Karaba. view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is some new information that has been brought through this answer. The information is that there is an acting vicechancellor in Moi University and there are two deputies who are under disciplinary process. This implies that the two are not on duty. Therefore, it means Moi University is run single- handedly by an acting vicechancellor. Could this be confirmed as the position? view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, of course, that is a very serious issue considering that there is drought throughout the country. We will work expeditiously with the Ministry of Devolution and Planning to bring an answer within two weeks. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture for the answer that he has given. However, I want to express the dissatisfaction with this answer because at the end of this, the very same farmers that we are representing here are not convinced at all that they are just about to get to their lost billions. This payment for farmers which is referred to as bonus is only paid once after a very prolonged period of keeping the money elsewhere as the farmers continue to suffer. Farmers usually believe that ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thought my colleagues Senators had raised a lot of the questions that needed further clarification for us in the Senate and for the farmers who are following this. view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not shy. I appreciate the concerns of Senators who have spoken on this subject. Being a Senator who has had the same experience in the past three years, I appreciate that. From the concerns that have been expressed and what has transpired, I think there is some move to correct some of the things that happened. This House, through the Senate Sessional Committee on Devolved Government, is actually involved in the process from the very beginning. Last week on Thursday, some clerk from your Office and I attended the First Steering Committee Meeting to organise ... view
