Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a wakeup call. I sympathize with my brother, because we all know his character. It was the wrong person to touch and it is a provocation. We have just returned from India where security is not taken lightly. I see a sinister motive in what happened. It is time that your office acted. I know that there is a new Inspector-General of Police and maybe he does not know his job. Please, remind him on how the Senators are to be treated. A letter from your office should be written to him regarding the same. ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue of fertilizer is becoming a thorn to the farmers because farmers have not been paid up to now and yet the rains are just around the corner. When you go to the stores, as Sen. Ndiema said – and we know that Trans Nzoia is the bread basket of Kenya – then you wonder what this country will experience come the end of the year when farmers have not planted crops on time. So, there is a cartel that is trying to ensure that the farming systems in place fail, so that ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to join the rest of my colleagues in contributing to the Presidential Speech; this being the second State of the Nation Address in the two years that he has been in office. I would like to support and commend the Speech. The Speech captured the aspirations and desires of many Kenyans. I was out of the country, in the Diaspora, when the President presented the Speech which was met by a lot of happiness and jubilation. The Speech will take Kenya forward if we all support it. I wish all of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Committee that vetted and approved Mr. Boinett for appointment to the post of Inspector-General of Police. With all due respect, we should support the presidential nominee because he cannot just appoint from nowhere; he must have done his research. The Committee that deliberated on this issue did its work competently. I watched the interview live and I was very convinced that the young man is confident and up to the job. Some of the deliberations have tribal insinuations. I have not met Mr. Boinet but listening to him, I am convinced ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues in supporting this Bill. Potato saves lives in this country; it is a crop that grows within three months unlike maize which takes nine months. The statistics show that 1.7 million Kenyans are starving right now. When you look at the areas where those people come from, they do not produce any potatoes at all because the climate is not favourable for growing potatoes. If you go to some parts of the Rift Valley like Timboroa, Kericho and Molo, you will see happiness. You will see women on the ...
