• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: This popular initiative started with the four million signatures. To collect four million signatures is not an easy matter. The second phase was the verification by the IEBC. The IEBC, in its wisdom, managed to verify the signatures and forwarded it to the county assemblies. The county assemblies then forward it to the Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate. We have no powers to amend this. This Bill belongs to the people and that is why we are a conveyor belt leading the way to the President. From the President, it goes to the IEBC for a referendum. ... view

• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. As I rise to support this Division of Revenue as amended by the Senate, one thing I want to request listening to Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Majority Leader is this: Could the National Treasury appeal? This is because it seems the National Treasury should also appeal against this issue.

Therefore, my humble request is that the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations should maybe give it as a recommendation for the National Treasury to appeal against this. Moreover, ... view

Unfortunately, the aspects of criminality on the issue of murder case needs to be reviewed because ... view

This is a crisis time and crisis time requires extraordinary mitigating strategies. Hon. Speaker, as my other colleagues have said, we thank you. Your intervention was very important.

Mine is to the Pharmacy and Poisons Board to move with speed ... view
