• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will try. I am feeling so sorry for the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet that I got so emotional because this happens all the time. I think that instead of waiting for us to ask ourselves what the Government can do, it is about time we started engaging these institutions so that we can prevent this from happening. When it happens, we can support our constituents. view
• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: When I saw the Senate Majority Leader fly there, I imagined a time in Narok when floods would take everyone and there would be nothing for us to do. There was another Statement raised by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito about dead bodies detained in hospitals because family members of the deceased could not pay bills. We need to ask ourselves whether there are measures that this House can immediately take to support these people. view

• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: I encourage the Senate Majority Leader to reach out to us in person so that we can assist. This is the time when we should all give and find a way to help our brothers. The most important thing is to plant trees so that we can save the environment and ensure that tomorrow when there is a landslide, the trees will hold the soil from moving. view
• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will quickly go to the point. First, I commend the Committee for doing such a wonderful job. The recommendations are quite large. I wonder when they will all be implemented. I want to comment on the economic aspect. One which is critical is on the cash transfer to the elders. We realized that yesterday, there were text messages which were sent out that people are receiving Kshs8,000. I wonder when the pastoralist’s communities would receive this money. I request the Committee to find a way to trickle this down to the chiefs, ward administrators ... view

• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: for these counties to be coordinated. Someone asked yesterday, how comes Machakos County is able to set up these hospitals in the stadium and other counties are not able to? As a Senate, we need to know how this money is appropriated. This is the House that will deal with the division of revenue so that all counties can have a concerted effort. Finally, a county like Narok has local and international borders. I understand that tomorrow, the Committee will be meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, Dr. Matiang’i. It is important for us ... view
