• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they have clearly outlined in the Report about lack of public utility services such as toilets, congestion and adverse consequences and spread of HIV/AIDS scourge. It is shocking that whereas the border point was the busiest in the region with a revenue base of Kshs250 million per month, there is no single aspect of CSR. That is a lot of money that comes from this project. There was a joke that was cracked sometime back when we were making some sort of agreements with China. Some people said that when we went for those discussions, we ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me start by thanking Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for this Motion and for giving us an opportunity to discuss something that people worry about in Kenya. When you find a Kenyan preparing a will, the people around ask: Is there a problem? Are you about to die or what is happening? Very few people can stand up to talk about life because when you talk about life, you must also talk about death.

• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Death does not just become a transition as such; it is a transition for the person who has died, but it is still a transition for the community in terms of how they will carry themselves, conduct the burial and what they will do. There are some people who leave wills so it is clear where they want to be buried. There are incidents where someone has left a will or the family has decided: “Let us bury him at Lang’ata Cemetery. You will find everybody asking: Why are they burying him at Lang’ata? What is the problem? Did they ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: I remember many years ago, we used to pass near the Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital. Somebody said that somebody was supposed to start selling coffins there, but another one opposed that. About 30 years later, it is an industry that is necessary. We should infuse all these new ways of handling the dead like having the funeral homes with specific requirements in each county. I know there are various towns which view

• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: do not have a mortuary. Therefore, when somebody dies, they have to be buried immediately. In some places, the body of the deceased has to be taken to the nearest town that has a mortuary and put in cold ice until the time for burial when the relatives go to collect the body. view
