• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Other related matters that rose in the preliminary consideration of the petition include the challenge with regard to access to birth certificates and other identification documents. I gave a statement regarding the same. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Concerning steps to mitigate the difficulties faced by Kenyans in applying for the e-passports that are issued by the Department of Immigration Services especially at Nyayo House and mechanisms put in place by the Government to address disasters in our country, Sen.

Ochillo-Ayacko who joined us this morning to consider statements that had been committed to the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. We have agreed on the next steps. We would like to urge Senators, when invited, to follow up the logical conclusion of their statements by attending the Committee meetings when invited because some of them do not. view
