• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with the nature of this investigation by the Committee, I support what Sen. Orengo has said. I know that you have already committed this matter, however, is it possible to set up a select Committee that can work expeditiously to deal with it because of the international interest that this matter has attracted? I am saying this because I know that you have already committed it, but I am only beseeching you. I know that it is within your own discretion to agree or disagree. Just so that we can show how serious we are on this ... view

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Petition by the citizens of Kisumu County. While I do so, I think we are failing as a country. I say this with a lot of information because I am a Member of the Senate Committee on Health. This issue of COVID-19 has become a business which is being reserved for a few. People are making money while others are dying because they do not give a hoot in hell about the lives of many people. When we talk about the Indian variant, it really shocks me that while the Ministry of ... view

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Soon you will hear the President declaring a state of emergency because of the rising COVID-19 cases. I would like to beseech you that while committing this Petition to the Committee on Health I think you should broaden it. This is because as a Member of that Committee, I can tell you that the only thing we are going to do is that we will call the CS. He might tell us that he will not appear, or he might appear. None of us would want to travel to a place where there is the Indian variant even if we ... view

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we now need to start the process of investing in rapid test equipment. The Members of Parliament (MPs) should be tested on a regular basis. Otherwise, we will be sitting here not knowing that one or several of us have COVID-19. I hope that the workers of the Kibos Sugar Factory Limited in Kisumu will get the help that they deserve. You cannot close the company because people will have to stay hungry. Many would rather get sick, but at least get food. We need to rethink our approach to the COVID-19. If we do not listen, ... view
