• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join hands with Sen. Sakaja and congratulate him for bringing this issue to the attention of the House. As a leader, I want to say pole to the people of Kariobangi for the very inhuman acts that have been vested on them. We are living in very extraordinary times and anybody in Government should exercise a lot of caution when passing any decision. Our courts of law have stopped any form of enforcement of any court order. You cannot walk to any house and purport to enforce any judgement from the court of law because the ... view

These are the times that we need the emergency response team to make a decree and pass a resolution that from now going forward we should not see any form of evictions.

• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: As we have been told, there are people who have lost businesses, houses have been destroyed and people do not have homes. Therefore, we need to see a better response from the Government. I cannot agree more with the Senator for Kericho County. The last time I saw a calamity of this magnitude, it was in Tennessee Valley in the United States of America (USA) and Vice President Mike Pence personally visited the scene. So, I hope that the Deputy President of the Republic, who is a neighbour to Senator Murkomen, will find time to personally visit the victims of ... view
• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say that there is no other high-ranking member other than the Deputy President. I said that when we speak of high-ranking Government officials, we should be thinking of the Deputy President because he is the principal assistant of the President.

So, I will do that next time. I want to respond to the issue that has been raised by, my good friend, Senator for Narok County. We had a meeting yesterday with the CS for Labour, Social Security and Services.
