• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: So, we need somebody who is part of it, so that the mess can be sorted out. Finally, on the issue of the Petition on elections, the deputy governors and deputy presidents, I think those are issues that will go to popular initiative and referendum. The Committee on Justice and legal Affairs and Human Rights should not waste their time because those are things that will end up in popular initiative. To allow my colleagues to add on this Petition, allow me to rest my case there. Thank you and I support both Petitions. view

• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate Sen. Mumma for this wonderful Motion. As we go into the future, there are many things that were not regulated and they are yet to be recognised. Many years ago when we came up with the Tobacco Control Act Cap 245A, people knew the traditional smoking and buying the physical cigarette. That is why aspects such as smoking zones were designated. I think that debate was there when some of us were still very young. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: I have interacted with a very senior person about these e-cigarettes. I do not want to divulge who he was. It was in New York at the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 and at that time, e-cigarettes had not become common. The cigarette was associated with the cool kids and people with means. We were in a small room in one of the seven- star hotels in Manhattan, New York. We did not find it unusual because we did not notice anything unusual until we were shown an e-cigarette. You do not see the smoke but you just see ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: We are headed to December and culturally, my people hold the rite of initiation of young people. It happens even in Western where my neighbour, Sen. Mumma, comes from. In as much as we are allowed to take some substances up to some level, it has not reached this level. We normally ask the Government to give us freedom in the month of December. However, those things that we indulge in, have not reached this level of causing cancer. That is the beauty of African tradition and our local cuisine and drinks. In fact, some of these drinks do not ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: You have your son and daughter who cannot wake up before midday because they were on TikTok the whole night till early morning. That is what encouraged paedophile activities. There was even a girl who was rescued from going to Zambia to look for someone. That is why we must agree on the issue of online marketing. The amendment that Sen. Mumma will bring will be very important. I urge Sen. Mumma to work hard because Wananchi notice such efforts. When your time comes, you will reap. They say you reap what you sow. I support this Motion and hope ... view
