• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: kulipishwa chochote kwa sababu hili janga, ni kama lile la Virusi vya Korona, ambapo wagonjwa hawalipi. Tunaomba serikali za kaunti na Serikali Kuu wasilipishe watu walioathirika na janga hii. Hili janga si katika kaunti hizo mbili peke yake. Pia kuna mafuriko Tana River. Taita Taveta kuna nyumba zilizoanguka. Kama kuna mpangilio wowote wa kusaidia wananchi walioathirika, basi ifanyike kule Elgeyo-Marakwet, Pokot, Tana River, Taita Taveta na kaunti zingine zilizoathirika. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me this opportunity to support the Motion of adjournment, but with the amendment that we adjourn today, 17th March, 2020, for two weeks, so as to reconvene on Tuesday, 31st March, 2020, and thereafter hold one sitting each week. There is a lot of merit in adjournment. As many speakers have said, we need to go home because many people travelled outside the world but the disease does not manifest itself immediately. We need to give ourselves sometime to go home and see who has been affected or infected and who is not. ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: to use helmets. The NTSA insists that people should use helmets. However, if you put on a helmet, you will spread it further. How can we have a compromise between The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: the requirements of the NTSA and how to curb spread of the Covid-19? We might need to change the laws and policies that are in place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support, let the Motion pass but with the amendments. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to weigh in into this issue. First of all, I support the Motion of Adjournment. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: This is a problematic disease that manifests itself in terms of colds, coughs and fever just like common flu. So, it is a disease that worries many people because it cannot be distinguished from common flu. However, people should be calm. I would like to give a message of hope that Covid 19 is not a death sentence. Out of all the people who have contracted this disease across the world, only 10 per cent have lost their lives while 90 per cent of the patients have been managed. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: I am happy that we are going to counties to see how general management of COVID-19 is undertaken. So, the Motion is timely. We will monitor our counties’ and national Government’s level of preparedness and in terms of managing COVID-19. view

This disease will spread to our counties and the people we represent are in the counties. So, we need to know how much will be devolved and how it will be used. We have no oversight fund, so, if we go to the counties, it might be problematic to move around ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to add my voice and support the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Cherargei, because of this Statement that concerns the closure of Kibos Sugar Factory by NEMA. For starters, the Government’s Big Four Agenda is industrialization. Therefore, closing Kibos negates the realisation or success of the Big Four Agenda. Secondly, the trend of closing factories in Kenya when we want to open many more factories to create employment is not laudable. It is only the agri-based factories that can be viable. We cannot produce toothpicks and other items; we rely mainly on imports ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Before recommending the closure of Kibos Sugar Company, I think NEMA should have done very wide consultations with the mother Ministry that is the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and also the Government at large because in the Big Four Agenda, industrialization is one whose time has come. view
