• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since this particular girl is suffering so much, the family took her to hospital in Qatar and immediately she came out of the hospital, she was told that the family has stood with her at a cost of Kshs758, 000 and her earnings is only Kshs15,000 per month.

• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to make a comment on this particular Report. As Sen.

• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to remind the Senator for Narok that MCAs are doing oversight and we should not look down upon their level of oversight.

I want to tell the Senator for Narok not to insult the MCAs that they do not know anything. They know a lot. That is very wrong. view

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: youths who have no jobs. More often than not, these are the youths that whenever they get some little temporary jobs, they are asked for this certificate of good conduct. I know some of them even from my county who have missed opportunities because of this particular very important document taking ages to be obtained. The committee that will deal with this Statement should take it so seriously because it affects our youths who do not have jobs.
