• 29 May 2019 in Senate: I have not stopped, Sir. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: I started by mentioning and appreciating him by his name as Sen. Madzayo. I studied Kiswahili and got a principal in Form Six. I would definitely have picked up what he said. All of them contributed very well to this Bill. Again, I appreciate Sen. Madzayo. Probably, he did not hear me mention his name, but his contribution was well noted view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can test me on that. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to, one of these days ensure that I do a whole Motion in Kiswahili. This is because it is our language. We are proud to have it as a language in our country. Currently, it has been uplifted to being the language for the entire East Africa. We are proud to speak it.

We should appreciate that a lot of times when we have conflict and issues that affect us in terms of cohesion and integration, women and children are the people who suffer most. We appreciate the provision that this Commission should be independent for it to function properly. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we and I have kept saying in this Senate that it is not that we do not have the right laws in place. Even that Act we are now seeking to repeal has some substance and issues on non-discrimination, hate speech and fair treatment. What do we do as a country? I wind up by giving an example of what my Vice Chairperson gave yesterday when we were handling a matter on a taskforce. It was a taskforce that was going round collecting views on certain regulations. We told them how involving the task was. The ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: It is not the laws that have a problem. In as much as we want to tighten them and improve on them, it is our implementation. Are we serious even in this BBI? Are we going to implement what they will tell us or will we make it political and start shooting it down and then have the ―yes‖ and ―noes‖ joking around with the lives of the citizens? That is my conclusion. view
