• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Petition. I know that the relevant Ministries and national Government departments would take this very seriously, especially the National Assembly which is required to pass the County Boundaries Bill which then gives effect to Article 188 of the Constitution. If they feel that it is a money Bill, they should take it upon themselves to originate another Bill, which would give effect to Article 188. As it is now, we are in a limbo. We cannot move because of that contest of Money Bill or Bills that concern counties. I support. view

• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been speaking in English, and as you can judge for yourself that it was the Queen’s English. It is only that if you go to the social media, most of the people are saying ‘the fees has been eaten.’ On a more serious note, people have already expended the monies that were supposed to be for school fees. We would want proposals that would be geared towards maintaining the learners in school as the parents look for money to pay the fees. view
