• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, she understood me, but in the wrong context. I was speaking in the context of unions. You cannot be a union leader of bodaboda riders and you are not a boda boda rider; you cannot represent them. I insist that special needs education teachers need to be represented by special needs education teachers. You cannot be a doctor and represent teachers in a union because they do not understand the special needs of those teachers. My point and focal attention of my submission today is that we should stop deductions from special needs education teachers and ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because this is a weighty matter, I would like the Chairperson of the Committee on Education to tell this House as to when we will be expecting answers from his Committee. We need to be definite about this matter. view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When I walk down memory lane, four years ago, I was facing the same challenge that Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is facing today. It will be inscribed in the history of Kenya that I was the first deputy speaker to be elected in the Kakamega County Assembly. I was also the first deputy speaker to be impeached in the whole country. As I was seated here, I looked straight into the eyes of Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. I empathized with him, but all I can tell him is that, it is going to be okay. If it ... view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support Sen. Mwaura on the proposals he has made, more specifically on issues of relieving the low income earners at the county level. We exist in abnormal times. We should put ourselves in the shoes of a common view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: who is a trader at Khayega Market. The economy is at its low. Therefore, it is important for us to cushion such wananchi at these trying moments. County governments have scaled down their operations. Seventy per cent of their employees are at home because of the Coronavirus mess. Therefore, it means that the recurrent expenditure of county governments has gone down. It is important for county governments to appreciate the fact that their expenditure is low and the local revenue that they were collecting to operationalise their expenditure should not be an issue. It is also important for them to ... view

• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Just to seek directions from the Chair before we leave Order No.7. Three weeks ago, I raised a question through a Statement seeking clarification on the unprocedural demotion of Dr. Joel Lutomiah. The Chairperson then gave directions to the Chairperson of the Ad hoc Committee on the COVID-19 Situation stating that a specific report was supposed to be brought to this House with specific recommendations, so that this House can adopt or reject them. Last week, I raised the concern to the Chair and the Chair gave out a ruling, which was that the Chairperson ... view

• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1), to make a Statement concerning the exclusion of Health Administrative Officers in Kenya from the benefits of COVID-19 Medical Emergency Fund. On 28th April 2020, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) released a circular via a letter Ref. No.SRC/TS/COG/3/61/48, addressed to Hon. (Amb.) Ukur Yatani, EGH, the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury, on Covid-19 medical emergency allowance and benefits for frontline healthcare workers in national and county governments. This was in response to a letter from the Council of Governors (CoG), dated 15th April 2020, requesting for payment of ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: benefits for the frontline healthcare workers, estimated to cost Kshs.3,013,390,000 for a period of three months with effect from 1st April 2020, subject to availability of funds. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the SRC was making decisions on Covid-19 medical emergency allowance and benefits for frontline healthcare workers in national and county governments, they deliberately and discriminatorily excluded some of the key frontline healthcare workers in national and county governments; one of them being the health administrative officers (Hospital administrators) who are part and parcel of the rapid response teams for COVID-19 in charge of the following functions in all ... view
