• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the JSC should explore ways in which Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) - which Sen. Kasanga, my able Vice Chairperson, can tell you about - can be embraced virtually to decongest our courts. We can resort to arbitration instead of taking everything to court. I am glad Sen. Kihika also stopped going to court. She has also reduced the congestion. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: There are ADR methods. In fact, today I was sad to see colleagues being paraded at a disciplinary meeting of the party. Though that is our internal thing, it is unfortunate.

• 26 May 2020 in Senate: We saw Sen. Olekina sitting with wazees and the Right hon. former Prime Minister and they resolved it. Sen. Kihika has children and Sen. Seneta has a family. There are better ways to do this. We can instil discipline, but in a better way. In fact, in Africa, our form of justice is restorative and not retributive because you will still need a relationship tomorrow. Anyway, that is for those in charge. The NTSA has intervened and should continue to do so to ensure that during the period of restriction of movement in and out of various counties, the matatus ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: By the time the boy was taken to hospital, it was too late. The family of Yassin Moyo needs justice. The families of all those whose rights have been violated during this pandemic, need justice. I do not know what happened to rubber bullets. It is very painful if you see those people. What we were able to do for them was not enough because we can never bring back to life Yassin Moyo. The community said yes, they harassed the police, but that is not the commensurate force that the police should have responded with. I am also calling ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to set a clear criterion on the eligibility of Kenyans in the diaspora who are in dire need of coming back home, but cannot afford air tickets. We must give priority to students. I have many of my citizens from Nairobi City County who went to India--- view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think I will finish even before that. There are many of my citizens from Nairobi City County who went to India for treatment, but they cannot come back. Normally, the nature of people who go for treatment there is that they do not even have the resources to stay on. There is the hospital bill which they must pay before they can come back. Sometimes you even find the situation has become fatal. We need a concrete solution. I am glad and I want to thank the CS, an extremely gracious lady from Bondo, ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: The Ministry of Education must enhance digital literacy for teaching and learning. I have spoken about that and said that the CS should attend the meetings of this House just as his eight colleagues have done. We even issued summons to the CS for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and he came. The CSs for Labour and Social Welfare, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Industry, Trade and Co-operatives all came. During this financial circle, the CS for the National Treasury came and we sat with him for two or three hours. The CS for ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Street Families Rehabilation Trust Fund that I spoke about is only in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi, Machakos, Nyeri, Kakamega, Kajiado, Kiambu, Murang’a, Nakuru, Kisumu and Trans Nzoia. They have only received Kshs34 million. I believe that there are street families in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Elgeyo-Marakwet, Vihiga and all over the country. It will not be fair if we only focus on these areas. We want to tell Kenyans that there is a toll free number, 0800 21168 and a dedicated email address: view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
