As long as they do not cross to areas where we do not have jurisdiction, we will continue to protect them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of pillars is a new question. However, what I know is that before I left Government, a decision had been made to reinstate all our boundary pillars. This had ... view

Miraa is a cash crop since is it planted and marketed for commercial purposes. It has deep root and cultural and economic importance to the community concerned particularly the producers. Any effort to regulate its production, sale and consumption will call for the involvement of key stakeholders, including the community, political and civic leaders.

• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the question raised by my worthy friend, Sen. Murungi as to whether miraa contains cathinone or not, I am neither a scientist nor a doctor. So, I am not able to answer. But the answer that was given to me is that it does contain it.

Therefore, I will appeal that we should give ... view

• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a bit surprised because we do not want this House to be turned into a House of copying others. It was only yesterday that this issue was being discussed. Precedence had been set, where Chairmen of Committees have been answering question. I think that it is not only in this House, but it is done in other countries too. I think some Members of the two House believe that we are in a coalition. We are not in a coalition and the Government of today is the Jubilee Government. Therefore, it will be represented by ... view
