• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, using the data that was given, the parameter was able to distribute the 14 per cent, taking care of the inequalities of the urban poor, so that we do not continue marginalizing the urban poor in the guise that the poorest people live in the rural areas. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was saying that we do not have to fall into the trap of systematic marginalizing of the urban poor in the guise of saying that the poorer are always in the rural areas. A person who is poor in an urban area may not be able to afford any food, must pay rent et cetera .

• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: on the Third Basis for sharing revenue allocated to the county government level, pursuant to Article 218 of the Constitution. As I conclude and seek support from the Senators, we have had debate of gains and losses. However, we, as the Senate, are losing it. We have been in this Senate and proposed an increase in the sharable revenue, participated in mediation and been able to push for the increase of the cake to be shared. We need to shift our gear from saying who gets what and who loses what. We need to agree that this country is ours ... view
