• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: The President also talked about the economy.

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that charity begins at home. We should not blame the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health because, as parents, we play a big role in all this. We used to be told to abstain from sex and then use condoms. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the statistics for Garissa County is at 10 per cent. I believe this is wrong because it is more than that and we need to review it. In our country, nearly 18 per cent of adolescents are girls and mothers are aged between 15 and 19 years. When an adolescent becomes a mother, it means that some opportunities are missed, for example educational growth; and they also carry the stigma as well. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government should have tough penalties for the offenders. We need to come up with legislation that will safeguard school-going girls from “women eaters” or “girl eaters;” whatever they are called. I will refer to them as sex pests. We need to review the current Sexual Offences Act and if one of them is found, he should be an example to all men. A tough jail term should be imposed on them.

• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Everything has been said by my fellow Senators and I will just echo what they have said. Thank you my brother, Sen. Olekina. I am sure that Members are concerned about why I am calling him my brother. We are all pastoralists, so he is my brother on that end. This is a noble Bill. I will speak on behalf of my county. My county needs this Bill because we have animals and people using the main road. When I talk of animals, I mean cows which use the main road. I hope that the ... view
