• 13 Feb 2019 in Senate: photos of victims affected at the site yet in their own editorial policy, if this happened in America, you would never see the body of any dead or injured American. I am very happy that Kenyans on Twitter and online did not spare them for a single minute and demanded an apology; that they cannot treat Kenyans as second-class citizens or members of the family of nations. We deserve our respect as a country and we still want them to give an unconditional apology to the people of Kenya. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the things that can actually assist in dealing with such incidents, when and if they occur, is the implementation of the Bill that we brought into this House together with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. on National Disaster Risk Management, which is still lying at the National Assembly. We were asking our colleagues at the National Assembly to fast track the implementation of that Bill, because it brings a method and a framework to coordinate disaster management between the national Government and county governments. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in Senate: Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the day before yesterday, I had a chance to visit one of the survivors of this attack; a young man called Mr. Emmanuel Omala.

Unfortunately – and I am glad that I can --- view
• 13 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just concluding by giving the example of this young man called Mr. Emmanuel Omala, who was shot seven times while lying down. When I visited him the day before yesterday, he was very jovial with an undying spirit and very resilient. I told him that, indeed, God has a plan for his life and that is why he is still alive.

• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, when the Senator for Nyeri County was contributing and he spoke about gluttony, you corrected him to talk about greed. Is there an insinuation that there is an acceptable ratio of greed to service delivery? He said we are seeing more gluttony and less service, while it should be more service and less gluttony.” When you corrected him, you did not say that there should be no greed at all. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Exactly. That should be on record because what is wrong was that, your only issue with him was the ratio and the word he used. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: There should be none at all. So, it is not less greed, but zero greed. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I am the Vice Chairperson of the Committee. In fact, as we speak our Chairperson has officially sought leave of absence for a while because of other initiatives. I am, therefore, currently acting in his capacity. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Yes, completely. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am at a loss, because Sen. Dullo is a ranking Member of the same Committee. These are discussions that we have been having and, in fact, the request she is making--- view
