• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: On his side, it is ODM which calls the shots. I have always said that even though I disagree with the former Prime minister, I have requested the parties that work in the NASA coalition to respect ODM. I did my arithmetic the other day and realized that FORD Kenya has one member of Senate, Wiper Democratic Party has three elected Members of Senate, KANU has only two and Amani Party has only two, but one is already an ODM sympathizer. I respect ODM party as the second largest party in this House. view

• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Even though our ideologies differ, we do not agree and we will have fierce competition next year, I believe in the constitutional review process. I promise Sen. Orengo that if there will be a time that we will be asked to sit down on the round table to achieve a win-win approach, so that we go to the uncontested referendum to agree on issues, those of us who on this side subscribe to “hustler” ideology, we will voluntarily be there. We are ready and willing to hammer and discuss the issues that are there, for us to move forward as ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito. Since most of the things that I wanted to say have been said, I will just say only one thing. As leaders, we must be at the forefront fighting the stigma that is associated with mental health.

When they have any other kind of disease, they can confidently say to the public that I had flu. However, when ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: We should also push, and the Committee on Health chaired by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito should move quickly to establish how many mental health officers have been employed as part of the county staff because health is a highly devolved function. If we can do this kind of audit, we will be able to push for enough resource allocation for counsellors and doctors that are dealing with mental health issues. Some of the mental health issues come from withdrawal symptoms from alcohol. We know many of our colleagues and friends who are in that situation. I know a number of people ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am part of the Committee on Devolution and Inter-governmental Relations. We really need some good time with this CoG because we have so many questions to ask and to audit their performance as an institution or entity. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: There are many devolution related issues that we want to audit between us and governors, being the last one year and to see the new leadership present to us their blueprint and manifesto on what they want to do in the next one year. view

• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Knowing also that on Tuesday we will have a sitting in the afternoon, the same still applies. I wish it was Monday or Friday; a day that we are not going back to a sitting. 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
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also want them to come with a clear presentation on their performance and plans for the next one year, so that we can put them to account and see how we can work together. view
