• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he was the Chairperson of the Select Committee on COVID-19. Sorry for that mix-up. We have seen that nurses who are frontline workers, want to go on strike. I want to challenge Sen. Sakaja to try to assist us by providing leadership on this labour dispute that we are heading to, especially on the payment of risk allowances. As we talk today, more senior doctors who have taken years to train are dying because of COVID-19. More doctors and nurses are complaining for lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and risk allowances. I want the Committee ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. From the onset, I want to say that the President’s Speech was very underwhelming. It should have be short and inspirational. It is very unfortunate and the drafters of the President’s Speech should avoid repetitiveness of issues. One of the issues that the President spoke on was on the COVID-19 pandemic. It is becoming serious and many people are dying. As a country, we must build a consensus on how we can move forward to ensure that it does not continue ravaging. Madam Deputy Speaker, my concern is on the Kshs60 billion ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: is too senior to be communicating about the school calendar in a public forum. On the issue of public debt of Kshs7.1 trillion, I am among the Senators who voted against the raising of the ceiling. Up to now, it is Kshs7.1 trillion that is coming--- view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. The President did not highlight on the issue of public debt worth Kshs7.1 trillion. We need to have a structure because the country is technically insolvent. We voted in this House not to increase the ceiling, but I was among the Senators who refused to increase the ceiling. On the issue of corruption, we remember the media headlines that were spewed all over. The President gave an order of 21 days on the COVID heist, but no one has been arrested. Masks and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) would have been critical in this moment be ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, if recommendations are not allowed, I can assure you that from all sector reforms, pastoralists, youth, women and many other quarters will reject the BBI Report. They will be setting up the BBI Report for a fall. If the President clearly stated that the BBI is open to conversation and recommendations, why are we being forced not to make any recommendations yet this is not medication that is prescriptive in nature. Madam Deputy Speaker, if we do not allow recommendations, I would like to besiege my colleagues that it would mean the amendments to strengthen the Senate ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I congratulate Sen. Chebeni for this Statement. I will only touch on two issues. To be a country with reforms in education, we should be accrediting courses that are relevant in the market. What happens is that some courses are accredited, but they are not relevant in the current economic situation, or do not consider changes in the societies’ culture and values. It is important that the CUE comes up with an innovative way. We should insist on ICT, entrepreneurship and life skills. There are people trained in some courses, but they ... view
