• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to my sister, the Deputy Majority Whip, is she in order to say that the position I took as the then Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights is my own and not that of the Committee? I only communicated the decision of the Committee before the House considering the provision of the Senate Standing Orders that the Chairperson of a Committee will be the spokesperson. Sen.

• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I congratulate you. The advisory given to the President under Article 261 (5), (6), (7) and (8) is a threat to democracy and the social fabric of this country.

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: It depends on how one uses that application. Generally, the internet should be used to promote our values and principles within our society. The Government of Kenya has allowed every Tom, Dick, and Harry to erode our values and principles because of the internet. Our children are at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. TikTok,Facebook and Twitter among other social media sites are places where many young people are influenced either negatively or positively. view

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Secondly, Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura has alluded to the issue of Cambridge Analytica, where they used it to know ones preference. We heard that it was used for interference during the 2016 Elections in the USA. Facebook CEO was summoned by the US Senate.
