• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: The issue of ICT in our secondary and primary schools in some parts of this country is an issue that should concern every stakeholder in education. Education is an equalizer. It is access to information and knowledge. If students in our secondary schools will not be able to join the rest in learning, then that is marginalization of some people in our country at this time when we need to access information. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Going forward, after the pandemic period, we need to look into the infrastructure and connectivity. How many of our schools are connected and how many can do e- Learning? How effective and efficient is this? Today, we have some students who cannot even listen to the radio programmes or the e-Learning that is going on because of connectivity. Possibly, there is no power or network. The issue of ICT is one that the Ministry concerned should move fast and see how they can improve not only during this pandemic time, but going forward, in order for our students to be ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. This case of truck drivers and lorries delaying is the same case that we are seeing at the boundary of Kenya and Tanzania in Namanga.

The other issue is people who are selling food to the truck drivers. In Namanga, I see many women running to sell food to these truck drivers. These people have no water to wash their hands. There are no toilets and bathrooms. So, you can imagine how easily the transmission of COVID-19 can occur. I would ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to request for this very important Statement on the issue of food security. As you are aware, our supermarket shelves and food stalls are almost empty. Therefore, there is need for us to help farmers to be able to produce. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries concerning the efficacy, safety and affordability of livestock vaccines, pesticides and herbicides. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) State measures put in place by the Government to ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to add my voice on this important Report. From the onset, I want to congratulate the Committee for coming up with a very nice Report. However, I want to point out some four concerns. We agree that this is a very difficult time for the country and the world as a whole. However, the involvement of all stakeholders and institutions is important. I want to appreciate the fact that the Committee has said that they have met all the Ministries. However, we still need to hear from other institutions ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We would really wish to hear because this is a big concern. We are hearing of so many donations that are not reaching our counties. I was also talking about what the Ministry of Agriculture--- view
