• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: With those remarks, because I know many people want to contribute to this, I support. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at least, I was consulted by Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko. It is good to agree on this, because this is one of those Motions that we need consensus at the end of the day and we are not a conveyor belt. The problem is that a lot of the commissions, be it the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) and the Judiciary as a whole, have made pronouncements where there is total lockdown. Right now, even a senior counsel like Sen. Wetangula cannot access the courts. The magistrates stand at the door to see who ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I am not opposed to the amendment. It is a compromise; it is not shooting down the Motion. There was a suggestion that the Motion should also be fine-tuned so that after two weeks, it complies with the requirements of the Standing Orders. I am told that there is an amendment coming. Mr. Speaker Sir, when people come to Parliament, the security officers are using a forehead thermometer to determine our temperature as an indication that we are positive, negative or in the danger zone. I want to ask Members of Parliament to stand there for even ... view

• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: For those who want us to be patriotic, your first starting point is to stay alive; you are not being patriotic by putting yourself in danger. That is why in the United States people are self-quarantining, yet here nobody has offered; not that they are positive. None of the six Senators who have gone into self-quarantine has tested positive, but they said that they have been in circumstances that they think that they should self-quarantine. Of course, even the Prime Minister of Canada has decided to stay away from his wife. I do not know how many people here will ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: I believe that we can do it, but in order to make sure that we are all safe, I plead that there should be constant testing. Already we are taking measures. If we liked each other very much, we should not be sitting apart from each other the way we are doing now, except for Sen. Kinyua from Laikipia. There is something drawing you towards your--- view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me not take too much time. I support the Motion in those kind of circumstances. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in order not to repeat debate, I was going to suggest that you put the question on Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko’s Motion as amended and then we can go to debate that Motion as amended. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to be clear, we want to put the question of Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko’s Motion as amended. After it has been amended, then we move to the Motion as amended. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I support the Statement, let me declare my interest. At one time, I have acted for the Kisumu County Government on a matter concerning Kibos Sugar Company and some individuals who had taken that factory to court on account of environment questions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, normally to get an investor to pump in money to the magnitude to which Kibos Sugar Company has done in Kisumu County, is not easy to come by. Right now, with the collapse of nearly all the state-owned sugar factories in what used to be a thriving sugar belt ... view
