• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, there are two proposed amendments under Clause 13 from my side. The first one is the introductory clause. Instead of having what the committee is saying, we make it clear and say: “The Cabinet Secretary (CS) shall provide policy direction for the effective provision of primary healthcare services by county governments and shall, for these purposes”. The way the committee has said, saying ‘CS shall’ is not sufficient but if we put it that ‘the CS shall provide policy direction,’ then that captures the spirit of the Constitution.

• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was to make comments on the statement regarding boundaries that was read to us on behalf of Senator for Machakos, Sen. Kavindu Muthama. I seek to support this Statement because we have had a lot in terms of border disputes. It is not just the question of Machakos border. The boundaries disputes must be resolved.

• 30 Dec 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also take this opportunity to add my voice, first of all, to congratulate the hon.
