• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Zani has been a lecturer and she is very meticulous. She used to be a Member of my Committee. In the last House she used to chair a joint Committee of Senators, but I was in the National Assembly. I know how thorough she can be. Mr. Speaker, Sir, your Office should facilitate us because the Senate of the Republic of Kenya has resolved by way of adapting one of our Reports that every county government and the national Government will give us a monthly report on COVID-19 expenditure. Mr. Speaker, Sir, through your office and the Office ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The other day, I saw Sen. Shiyonga distributing items without social distancing. She was really charged saying “ hii ni sukari,hii ni unga” in Kakamega. I know she is doing a good job, but I will ask her to follow the Government guidelines. I will ask her to join us when Dr. Lutomia comes. In addition, I will make sure she is there when we go to Kakamega County. Incidentally, Kakamega is one of the counties that are actually doing quite a good job. I must commend Governor Oparanya. He is doing a very good ... view

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: met with the digital taxis drivers, together with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). The young people who operate as digital taxi drivers said that since they are unable to get their certificates of good conduct, they are being offloaded from their only source of livelihood, which is the digital taxi companies. Due to lack of certificates of good conduct, more than 5,000 digital taxi driver’s jobs were at risk and some had already lost their jobs. I am glad to report that, yesterday, the IG of Police announced that he has instructed the DCI to reopen the issuance ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: sittings . When we went to the prisons, an issue came out that many prisoners, even when released, are not offloaded. As such, they still cannot get certificates of good conduct. Once one has served a jail term in a correctional facility then their record does not necessarily need to say they are a criminal apart from for very few crimes. The DCI told us that those crimes include rape and those of such magnitude and must remain on one’s record. For normal issues, even some which are just disputes, the record must be cleaned since one has gone through ... view

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will make them not just brief, but also heavy. Following what the Senate Minority Leader has said, this is a time bound Motion and a special Motion under Standing Order 69(1) (b) which must be disposed of by the Senate within 14 days of the Notice of Motion being given. As of now, if you look at our Standing Orders, we have not gone to Standing Order 15, meaning that there is no guarantee that we are sitting tomorrow. Because of that, assuming that we will sit tomorrow, it is actually anticipating debate on ... view
