• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Statement that we indeed need to do something about gambling in this country. The way forward, in my opinion, is not to do away with gambling because it will always be there. If you do away with it formally, it will still go into the black market. People will still be doing it and that is a more dangerous way of looking at it. We agree that there is a lot of good that is being done by gambling companies like SportPesa. We just need to properly regulate the activity so ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: I rise on a point of order based on the comments made by my able Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja. Is he in order to insinuate that Sen. Malalah actually gets beaten by his wife and he is suffering in silence? view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand under Standing Order No.115 on irrelevance or repetition. Is it in order for my good and able The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Chairperson to continuously use me as an example as to insinuate that there could be something wrong with my medulla oblongata? view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Bill. I highly congratulate Sen. Kasanga, who is an architect by training. I see in her, through this Bill, an embodiment of a struggle and commitment to a course to ensure that a person makes a difference when they have an opportunity to do so. I believe that when she was elected to this office to represent women through her party, she had this as one of her agenda. It is important that it has seen the light of day. I am saying this because there is ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: they know their neigbours properly, the answer is that they do not. We are no longer living in a communal society; people are alone. It is you and your family versus the world. It is up to you to know what to do with your problems. In fact, there is a popular saying that kila mtu apambane na hali yake . Therefore, in that kind of a situation, people do not know how to speak up. Our traditional structures of counseling and psycho-social support are broken. We do not have men’s associations where people will go to be given what ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: When I was growing up, there was a girl with a mental condition. Every time she visited a homestead, she would be chased away because nobody wanted to deal with her. I only realised much later when I got into activism and reflected about the girl, who was called Wairimu. She died prematurely out of negligence and disease. That is the story of many people that we ignore. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to our laws, you can be removed from office if you are perceived to be insane or of unsound mind. I would like to indulge you, as ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: rogue administrators to use the same amount of money they may have stolen to circumvent justice. We should make it stringent so that it becomes a deterrent to individuals who may occasion that. Members have spoken clearly that we are living in a society full of self- aggrandizement. People want to be seen to be doing well. In fact, social media provides us with a platform to alter egos because we want to showcase to the world what we are. I think men are getting a raw deal because sometimes we see things on social media, but when it comes ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Finally, because I can see my time is up, the issue of mothers and Post-Partum Depression (PPD) is something people do not want to talk about. We should have programmes where when our women deliver, they are supported because that is a noble thing they do for the society. When there is also child or infant loss, they should be assisted to accept the reality and move on. view
