• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: the day. It is not a private entity. Why does the Government not bail out the PCK? If it is not possible, then they should privatise it, but ensure that the interests of the employees are catered for. Madam Deputy Speaker, you should not even give 14 days on this issue. In my opinion, by Tuesday next week, we should have a progress report by the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, telling us about the status. If the PCK is making losses, they need to embrace technology. When you go to the USA, people are using the postal corporation ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to support Sen. Dullo on the issue of assault by the police. Police brutality is becoming a norm in this country. If you do not die by the bullet of an armed robber, you are likely to die by the stray bullet by trigger-happy police officers. For example, in the last few months, Nandi also bore the biggest brunt when police allegedly killed around three people in Lessos area, and the other day we saw it happen in Kericho. When I was the Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: a bad name; that we have a police force, yet the Constitution, which is progressive, has created a police service. It says, “ Utumishi kwa Wote”. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support and hope that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, which you are Member, will be able to resolve this issue. When we appear before your Committee, this time round, kindly be magnanimous with us when we will be asking hard questions. I thank you. view

• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Clerk-at-the-Table is reading the Order of the day, but you are informing us that there is a Supplementary Order Paper. However, we are yet to see it in our gadgets. It is important to have it, so that we are in tandem because we cannot trace it. Thank you. view
• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important day for us because there are serious issues we are supposed to discuss. In future, if the Secretariat will be experiencing challenges, they should let the House know well in advance. Let us proceed as the technological challenges are rectified. We do not want to use papers here because of the challenges of COVID-19. In my own opinion, let us proceed with the order of the day as the Secretariat works around the clock in ensuring that it is fixed. view
