• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Finally, considering the tough times the country is experiencing arising from the effects of the pandemic, most if not all of our children, are not prepared psychologically or are in fear of returning to school. I, therefore, urge the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to provide psychosocial support to school children and give a notice of 90 days for school reopening in order to enable parents and children to prepare well. We urge the Government to suspend the orders for the next 90 days so that our children can have adequate time. view

• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to my learned senior, the Senior Counsel, I think that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. raised a very important point. We are having a problem hearing. Therefore, we request the officers in charge of the gadgets to increase the volume. It is hard to follow what my learned senior is saying, and I would like to drink from the fountain of his wisdom as he dispenses it freely.
