• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I will try and be brief as a follow up to your guidance. Like the rest of my colleagues who have shared their concerns with the Communication from the Speaker earlier on this morning if one was in the House at that time, they will recall a number of us were fairly agitated and wanted to make a contribution immediately after he communicated. We felt that something was amiss; there was something not so right about the Speaker of a House. He should attend as many meetings as possible at State House, but when we receive Communication ... view

• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: the virus away. Apart from this House, Kenyans do not have any other avenue to ask this Government questions about its plans. We must think critically as we make this decision. There must be an intricate balance. I hear those colleagues of us who are urging us to remember we have lost colleagues in this pandemic. It is true, but there are risks for any job. Just like doctors, I believe, would have wished to be with their families like the rest of us, but given that this war is being fought in hospitals with medicine and not with bullets ... view

• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am sure it is because of the type of the things I am saying. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, whatever I say is not out of disrespect or bad faith; just what anybody who means well for this country would ask. At a time when we are struggling, we read in the newspapers two weeks ago that Kenya was trying to secure a loan to buy vaccines. If one takes a study of the Supplementary Budget, it can be seen that this Government is continuing to with the onset of capital projects that we do not need at this time, instead of buying vaccines for its citizens. Everybody should be concerned. Sen. view

• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Farhiya, my colleague, should also be concerned on behalf of the citizens she represents in this House. My point is simple. Let us be given a plan. I heard the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Poghisio reminding us that in any case, it is only two sittings we are sacrificing because in two weeks’ time we are supposed to proceed on recess. That sounds fairly convincing, but then it would have made more sense had it suggested that at the earlier one scheduled time of recess we can offload back those two weeks and instead of coming back on 11th of ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, but not before correcting what Sen. Sakaja has said. I will share with him a copy of the supplementary budget. I have taken time to read what I am saying. That figure of Kshs8 billion is not a figure that I have just arrived at. If he speaks to his colleagues who are in the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, they will tell him that various Ministries have actually been allocated resources towards that particular project. Kshs2 billion to the Ministry of Water to move water utilities along that corridor, and some amount to the Ministry ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I was just correcting something that he said and I thought--- Madam Deputy Speaker, okay, I will conclude. Therefore, I said that I will delay my decision on whether to support or oppose depending on a better proposal that will be given to us because the one that has been proposed by the Leadership cannot fly, in my honest opinion. Therefore, I will have to wait for a better proposal for Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko. Otherwise, in the absence of that, I will be forced to oppose this. view
