• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Yes. She needs to withdraw it. Either way, she is not here to move it. view

• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson, pursuant to Standing Order No.148, I beg to move that the Committee do report progress on its consideration of The Pandemic Response and Management Bill (Amendment), Bill (Senate Bills No. 6 of 2020) and seek leave to sit again tomorrow. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said report of The Pandemic Response and Management Bill (Senate Bills No. 6 of 2020). I wish to ask my very able Vice Chairperson Sen. Kasanga to second. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of e-learning is like a blind man in a dark room trying to find a black cat. It is impossible. When the Jubilee administration proposed the laptop programme, the reality was that we are living in a world driven by information powered by technology. The essence of it was to equip our children with skills of intuitively using devices, not necessarily to teach them primarily through those devices, because those are the tools being used throughout this world.

• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: I said that we had invited him to the Ad Hoc Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic, but he has dodged twice. If he fails to attend this last invitation, we will issue summons.

My Committee had interactions with Kenya AIDS Vaccine Initiative (KAVI) from the University of Nairobi. The projections they gave us county by county in terms of the needs and preparations ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: County will need 822 ICU beds and 2,549 hospital beds. Are you even a quarter way to that? Kisii County, I can see Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri here, will need 3,326 ICU beds and 10,318 hospital beds. Are we close to that? This is because these county weight and resource needs have been done properly. This is the best case scenario where in February 2021 we are talking about two (2) million asymptomatic infections, 300,000 in hospital with 100,000 of them being critically ill. As the Senate, once this Report is out, we need to analyse resource in each county and ... view
