• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: I beseech the Council of Governors (CoG), the Senate and people who are preparing for this inter-governmental conference to rethink and consider having this conference virtually. I know I have been invited there, but I will not risk my life to attend it physically. I am happy to go there and talk about environmental issues which are dear to me. However, I will be negating on my duty as a Senator where I need to raise issues affecting Kenyans. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Right now, the economy is closed. Many people have been affected by the curfew. Why then do we pretend that we are safe just because it is a presidential function to go to Makueni County to attend that function? It is not safe and so, we should not go there. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, regarding police brutality, I know we were given a few minutes to talk about it, but it is an important matter. During this time, many people complained. We have had issues of IPOA and their inability to deal with these issues.

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: masters look more like philanthropists. They look like people who came here and gave us land because our land is being taken away from us. I request the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Coordination to take back those threats. They need to bring these people together and help them. This country is vast. There are people who own thousands of acres of land while other people are poor. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I am guided. I just thought that because it is an adjournment Motion, I can reiterate the issues that I raised. To summarize, I beseech the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations to expeditiously move to summon the CS and even call the so-called land owners. There are people who own 100,000 acres. It is very sad. I am sorry that I am raising this issue over and over again, but it is something that I believe in. Our people have a right to graze their cows anywhere. It is not being an ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to make a few comments on this Report, which has been tabled by the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization on MUSCO. The reason why I decided to speak on this matter is to go back on the issue as to why SASRA did away with the license that they had handed over to MUSCO. There is a thin line between respecting the rule of law and operating the way you used to.

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me begin by condemning, with the strongest word possible, the killing of a world-renowned environmentalist who was trying to preserve mother earth for our future generation.
