• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Hon. Senators, please, consult quietly. I do not know where this consultation is. Maybe it is in the corridor. Serjeant-at- Arms, please, check what is going on because I hear some noise. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to register my condolences and those of the people of Uasin Gishu County, and sympathies for the people of the United Republic of Tanzania at this very difficult time as they prepare to bury the late President, Dr. John Pombe Magufuli. Neighbours are neighbours. For those of us who believe in the Bible, we must love our neighbour the way we love ourselves, and Tanzania is our neighbour forever. I served in the East African Legislative Assembly, and I saw the importance of neighbourhood. I condole with the people of ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a lesson all of us as leaders must learn. We are in this world for a very short time and so humility must lead us as leaders. We lost another very humble soul the other day. Yesterday, a very humble daughter of Kericho was buried. I give my condolences and that of the people of Uasin Gishu to the family of hon. Susan Kikwai. She was a lady who like you, left a huge government job to go and serve her people only for this terrible pandemic to take her life. I watched earlier as ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the vaccination against COVID-19 has begun. I thank Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri for explaining and urging us to be vaccinated. We were starting to get cold feet because of the many rumors that have been floated about the vaccine. Having listened to Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, I think it is very important for us to be vaccinated. I say “ pole” to the people of Kericho through their Senator who is here and the family of hon. Susan Kikwai. It is how we take care of ourselves now that we can stand. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: With those remarks, I congratulate the new President of Tanzania, Her Excellency Samia Suluhu. We are very proud as women of the region that we have the first woman president in the East African region and we pray for her. It is sad that she had to get to the presidency under difficult circumstances but be it as it may, we pray that she will have great strength and leave a landmark that all the other women in the East African region can learn from. view

• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the first opportunity to congratulate my sister and the new Senator for Machakos County, Sen. Kavindu Muthama. I congratulate her for being the fourth woman Senator to be elected in the Republic of Kenya. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: We watched the vigorous campaigns that took place. I would also like to thank the people of Machakos and the Wiper Party for conducting peaceful campaigns. Being a party that is led by a former Vice President, we expected them to be peaceful. However, the former Vice President displayed a lot of elegance and peace as a party leader during the campaigns and we thank him for that. I thank my fellow Senators, the Senator for Kitui County, who is also my student, and the Senator for Makueni County, for representing this House throughout the campaign period. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: I stand as one of the women who prayed for her and thought about her throughout the campaign period. This is because we were looking forward to having the fourth elected woman Senator. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to tell her that the road is not as bad as some people put it. The Senate is a place where she should be. Devolution is the way to go. We need the voice of the woman in devolution. Most of the areas that have been devolved touch on the vulnerable. For example, agriculture and health touch on women and youth ... view
