• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Petition on mental check-up is important for those applying for firearm licences. The Committee should look into this matter and even extend the check-up to be yearly. Mental problems can be acquired at any time along the way. Since a firearm licence is renewed yearly, a renewal application should be matched with a mental check-up note. We should also prescribe in law that a firearm is deemed to have been used properly if it has been used in self-defence so that you are not charged with murder in the event that you used the firearm ... view

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon.

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. First, I want to give my condolences to all the people in this country who have lost their loved ones from the COVID-19 epidemic. May Yahweh comfort them. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I also want to commend His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta for making very tough choices. Indeed, what was relaxed was travel restrictions, but not the COVID-19 regulations. What concerns me and I respectfully request that the Departmental Committee on Health summons the offices in charge and ask them specific questions because we are not getting enough information. We are given numbers everyday but we are not told where exactly super spreaders are. Are they rallies? Are they churches? Are they bars? view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I was actually having a conversation with somebody this morning. We were talking about these small little bars where you have 20 or 30 people congregated in a small room, drinking from glasses and eating nyama choma from the same place; using the same toilet and salt and going to the toilets that are not sprayed which are highly infectious. We are actually not getting this information. Where are these pockets and where are the super spreaders? view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Having said that, the other important issue is that I recall that one of the regulations said that should your establishment be opened after curfew hours, your licence will be revoked. I have never heard of a licence being revoked. Personally, I have made calls to the COVID-19, at least four times, complaining about loud music and laughter coming from establishment within the residential area that I am living in. I think that this is important information that must be brought to the fore and we must know how many licences have been revoked and where to find the super ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: In addition, we live in very difficult times and as much as we talk about livelihoods, we must understand that we must talk about saving lives first. Having said that, I need to also state that it is important that as Parliament, we go back to the previous protocols that we had before where the first 50 Members registered online and the others sat outside and we practised social distancing. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, I do support. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
