• 18 May 2021 in Senate: later became the very able chairperson. It came out that within the last two years, there has been an outbreak of these issues. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know my time is running out. I do not know how many more minutes I have. However, an aspect that we need to state clearly is that many people sometimes take advantage of a family member or associate who gets a mental health illness. Their rights to their property and issues of custody are taken advantage of. This Bill stipulates how that needs to be done to protect them from abuse both physical, ... view

• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Bw. Spika, Bunge la Seneti liko na Kanuni na kuchanganywa sio hoja. Kanuni zetu zinasema wazi kwamba kama yule ambaye anazungumza amekiuka Kanuni za Seneti, yule ambaye anajaribu kumkosoa lazima aseme ni kipengee kipi ambacho amekiuka. Isiwe sababu haukubaliani na msimamo wa Seneta fulani, unaleta hoja la mjadala. Wiki iliyopita wakati nilikuwa ninatoa hoja zangu, karibu dakika 20 zilichukuliwa na watu ambao hawakubaliana na msimamo wangui. Sio eti nilikuwa nimekiuka Kanuni, lakini ni kwa sababu hawakua wanakubaliana na mjadala au maoni yangu. Bw. Spika, naomba kwamba ili Sen. Faki au yule mwingine atakaye kuwa anachangia aendelee na Mswada huu, badala ... view

• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, first of all, I would like to remember the late Sen. Yusuf Haji who spearheaded this process. He was one of our colleagues. I am sure that he is looking down at us with pride. I therefore dedicate this vote to him. This process has been long. I would also like to acknowledge Sen. Amos Wako who was also part of the BBI Steering Committee. It is important for us to understand, as a House, that our part is now done. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: As Sen. Orengo has intimated, there has been a lot of innuendo out there. The Joint Committee of Parliament had a report. I was part of the Committee and registered my dissenting opinion on one issue. Ultimately, the Joint Committee agreed on the need to pass the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 and the need to respect the will of the people. After passing of the Bill in both Houses of Parliament, it will go back to the people who will make that choice. I just pray that all of us, as leaders, will campaign peacefully because a process ... view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: I urge all Members to watch our tone so that we do not divide this country again. Let us not have a ‘we versus them’ Let us go out there to campaign in the spirit of one Kenya. I would also like to appeal to colleagues, that when the time comes for us to go out and campaign for the BBI, we should remember that COVID-19 is still there so we should not lead to another spike of infections. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Finally, I have heard many people say that the county’s focus should not be on the BBI right now and that we should focus on alleviating the many problems that Kenyans are facing. This is their opportunity. Now that Parliament is done with the Bill, let us see proposals on economic cushioning. Let us receive proposals on making sure that Kenyans receive the COVID-19 vaccine. I urge fellow Members of Parliament to now focus on the priorities right now, as we let the relevant institutions; the Independent Electoral and view
