• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: for moving it. I would also like to state that as Senators, our mandate is to protect counties.

• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: I am glad that she is asking this House to compel the Executive or Ministries and our academia to come together and set up the policies and the right framework so that we get it right and make it sustainable as well. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to go over the whole of it because Sen. Pareno has really outlined the benefits, cure, prevention, education, research and evaluation.
