• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to also contribute to this important Motion. I want to start by thanking the Committee, and especially the secretariat for doing a lot of background work for this Committee in terms of research on what is happening in other jurisdictions and giving us the necessary information that assisted us in making decisions. I also thank the Chair, Hon. Cheboi, who also gave us quite some good leadership throughout the whole process. We are happy that we finally brought a document for this House to consider. Obviously, we thought that we should ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: is important that whatever it is that we legislate, be it on our Standing Orders or laws, we must make sure that it is something that can withstand the test of time, so that even those who will come after us will be able to deal with any situation of this nature in a better way. Hon. Speaker, let me also say that we have had a first-hand experience of having some of our Committee Members participating virtually. Hon. Wamuchomba participated from Kiambu. Hon. Ruweida participated all the way from Lamu. Hon. Zuleikha, the Kwale County Woman Representative, participated all ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it shows that it is possible for us to carry out useful legislative or parliamentary business without having to be physically present, if circumstances demand so, and we have that first-hand experience… view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Earlier on, I heard two Members of the Health Committee speak and I would want to add my voice to that of the Chair, Hon. Cheboi. As they were sitting, one of them was participating virtually and he came carrying a drink - I do not want to mention it - and made the rest of the Committee Members thirsty and totally disrupted them. He says he had no idea that he was being seen. Therefore, I agree with Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ that we will definitely need some rules and guidelines on how to do this so that people dress ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: So, we will need some form of decorum and a way of doing it so that we do not end up getting embarrassed or disruptive to proper proceedings of the House. Otherwise, it is time for us to go digital. We started by voting. We are always a fast nation especially in Africa in terms of adopting technology. This is a great move for this Parliament and obviously you will go down in history as having helped us get into the digital world going forward. view

• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a bit worried because the Leader of the Majority Party, who is my boss, seems not to follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health. He is supposed to wear his mask throughout. I think the problem he has is maybe because he is wearing a mask meant for industrial purposes. So, if he is given a mask like mine, he will breathe better. That is why he is struggling and endangering his life and ours. view

• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I also want to add my voice in congratulating the Finance Committee, through the Chair, for the great job that they have done, and especially for cushioning the common mwananchi or the person who needs to be cushioned at this time when we are facing COVID-19. I am particularly very impressed by the fact that they thought about clean energy and in particular, cooking energy. This is because when it comes to matters cooking, the biggest casualties are women and children. So, we will be saving the many women and children of this country from respiratory diseases. I have used ... view
