• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was finishing the matter on personnel and how we need to treat and deal with the labour issues that are coming up within our counties.

• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: For too many years, we have just given lip service to our women and young girls in this country. Menstruation is a natural process.

• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to ride on the Statement sought from my Committee. I want to give an undertaking on the issues which have been raised unless there are other Members who want to comment on that. I seek your guidance on that. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. All these matters are quite weighty. Sen. Dullo’s matter on Isiolo and Garissa came to our Committee and we scheduled to visit those areas. As we endeavoured to do that, the legislators held a meeting with the Ministry and they advised us to hold a bit.
