• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to pass my deepest and heartfelt condolences on behalf of my family, my people, my community and Garissa County as well. When someone passes away, in Islam we say: “Inna lillahiwa inna ilayhi raji'un al kumi marsuda kotol meit ”, which means, “and every soul shall pass through death and there is no way we will escape from death.” I wish the family well. May Allah rest his soul in jannatul firdaus. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I join you in welcoming the students from Kericho. This is the right place to be, and you should borrow a leaf from here and apply it when you become either a Senator, a Member of Parliament or any other thing. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. (Dr.) Milgo’s Statement regarding patients with diabetes. The narrative I heard when I was young was that only the elderly suffer from diabetes due to old age or because they are dying. However, the number of children who are dying or living with this non-communicable disease is huge. The children are being The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: left behind as people think that only the old people suffer diabetes. I would like these people to have access to quality care by trained healthcare professionals. They should get access to stable and affordable insulin supplies which should be self-managed through patient education. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to Sen. Halake’s Statement. Is it a coincidence that it is only the finance offices that are being burnt in these counties? Is there mischief that only the finance offices are being burnt? Secondly, if these counties have fire brigades, why have they not stopped these offices from being burnt down? view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, regarding the security status in the country.

• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to speak on the pandemic diseases called Coronavirus.

• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: It is the first time I am hearing of self-quarantine. Sometimes you go to see a doctor and you are given medication. I have also heard people doing self-medication, but I have never heard of self-quarantine. The WHO told us to cover our mouths and noses. Just to let you know, when I walked in with my hand sanitizer, the Serjeant-at-Arms stopped me. I saw Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko with a mask on his nose and he said that he does not want to be infected with Coronavirus. Surely, are we prepared? view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning the recent transfer of teachers by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) from North Eastern Kenya, specifically in Garissa, Mandera and Wajir.

• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition. This kind of process needs a holistic approach. We do not need to come out of the blues and start evicting people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure the Government and the Ministry concerned should have a process and procedure to follow when evicting people. When these people, who have been living on these lands for so many long years are being evicted, they should be given a land or a place where they can call home. That particular land must be registered to avoid them ... view
