• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support the Report as recommended by the Joint Committee. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. As somebody who has gone through this terrible thing and has been lucky to survive, I fully support this Motion. In fact, I believe that this is an action that should have been taken some time before to save lives of people. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Many people have passed away, many of whom were close to each one of us. As the Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights has stated, if you look at the minutes of the LSK, every day, at least two advocates are passing on after a short illness. The word “short illness” these days stands for COVID-19. Unless it is a heart attack, but it is mostly COVID-19. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we ask that we adjourn until 11th May. It is not an indefinite adjournment, it is until a specific date; 11th May, when this House was set to view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: resume. On 11th May, if the situation continues the way it is, I will be ready to say that we should adjourn again. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: I think that the amendment that was made was appropriate because it allows for virtual meetings of the committees. As we all know, a lot of work is done in the committees. It is only appropriate that during the intervening period, between now and the 11th May, Parliament, in its oversight role will be able to see the various actions that are being taken with regard to COVID-19 pandemic or violated through the committees. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I know that the Committees on Health, Transport and Infrastructure, Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, and Education will have some work to do in this regard. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Education is moving all over the country issuing statements here and there. He is a very active CS, and I like his activity. The Committee should be there to comment and add value to what he says. I know that the Committees on Finance and Budget, National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations will also have to do some work in this regard. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Most of the work of this House is through committees. It is appropriate that between now and 11th May, something should be happening, so that when we resume, assuming that the situation would have become better and we can continue our sittings, we will at least have some quality work to do. In other words, between now and then, the committees will be preparing work for us to start on 11th May. They will do so virtually, in such a manner that the COVID-19 protocols will be observed. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I do support the Motion as amended by Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko. I did not know that he was a student of Sen. Murkomen. That is why he sometimes makes mistakes with the law. I did not know where they came from, and I had to correct him on some of those things. I now know where those things came from. view
