• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: to other countries in the world, we need to utilise the water we have. The President talked about that. On a positive note, the President talked about encouraging people to save, which is good. I believe he is going to implement it. That is Paragraph 25 which talks about access to affordable credit. He is looking for a magic formula. He proposed the Ministry of Cooperatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). We can raise our national savings by forming cooperatives.

• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: When it comes to health, I believe we have got a very big problem almost in every county in Kenya in that the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is not found in many counties. Whenever somebody is taken to hospital as an emergency case, they need that MRI to be taken to know where the problem is especially when they have a head injury. They are then forced to travel long distances to get this service. They either go to Nairobi or to a few counties that have this equipment. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: I believe this equipment should be installed into every county. If we invest in that equipment to be in every county - and I believe it is this Senate that takes care of the counties - then we will be saving many Kenyans from a lot of expense and trouble.

• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to welcome these young people under pupillage to the Senate. As a lawyer, there is a lot to learn here.

• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: As the Senate Majority Leader has said, quite a number of people do not understand this branch of Government, the drafting and intrigues, which go into the practise of law and the learning you are going to go through here. When this young people sit here, they get to imitate, learn from us and get role models. I believe that some of them are going to be good lawyers. Some will end up in this Chamber as Senators and Speaker. I welcome, congratulate and wish them well in their career. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: I was talking of lawyers of good repute. We know that in the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) we have a disciplinary committee and a number of lawyers have gone through it, having stolen clients’ property. I am encouraging the young lawyers to be good lawyers and to emulate good lawyers like Sen. Faki. view
