• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I am talking about public primary and day secondary schools. I am not talking about people whose business is to serve in the education sector, where there are gaps. For those ones, you have to pay, but I am talking about public schools. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, another arrangement that can be made is to allow the aged teachers and those who have preexisting conditions to stay at home. This is going to be the new norm until we find a vaccine. The more schools remain closed, the more the economic activities that involve schools will be shut down. How many teachers have gone back to their home counties because they cannot pay rent, especially those who are serving in private schools? They are many. Parents can make a decision. If they cannot afford the schools that their children are going to pay, they ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, allow me to finish something. Right now, we are approaching the hot season. There are people who say that we should reopen towards January. That is when we are going close to the cold season, meaning that the cold will create an opportunity for COVID-19 to infest itself. I support CS Prof. Magoha in reopening the schools. Let us start with this and fast-track the reopening of schools for the rest of the classes. I thank you. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. What happened in MP Shah Hospital is not acceptable. In the private sector, medical fees have increased. A doctor has an obligation because he or she swore to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: protect lives. When the doctors in the same spirit see a person die because they were not able to pay or they delayed, it is sad. When a person comes to the hospital at 3.00 a.m., they are in desperate need of medical attention. For a person to be kept in the hospital until a deposit is made is unheard of and very unfair. COVID-19 has now become a business. Sometimes people are kept in isolation places by hospitals longer than necessary for financial gains. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, there has been improvement in health because hygiene has improved. The ... view

• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: gone ahead and amended almost every section of the Public Finance Management Act for it to be friendly to counties. It also includes some bits that were there in terms of enhancing audit function and all that. We have done well. We have also changed this Bill drastically. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am happy and proud to see you on that seat. You are the only Chair who speaks in Kiswahili throughout. That is another plus, because there are two official languages in this country; Kiswahili and English. I am happy that you are the only one who does that. Now add me two minutes for praising you. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: That is just on a light note. It is in the afternoon and people are tired, so they need something to laugh about.

• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy with the Committee on the COVID-19 Situation in Kenya, although I have a little bit of an issue. They have worked diligently and had a lot of media coverage. I think that they have done a good job. I accept that they should continue, but I had a request a long time along that they should have visit Wajir County to gauge its preparedness for COVID-19. Despite the fact that my county has spent the COVID-19 money to the last cent, unfortunately, we have nothing to show for it on the ground. Sometime ... view
