• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement brought to this House by Sen. Mwaruma. I will start by expressing my sympathy to the teachers of Kenya for the situation they have been put in. It is sad that we are now talking of reviewing the curriculum and make it more expensive for the teachers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: should a teacher from Mandera or Turkana be forced to come to Mt. Kenya University, so as to be trained? Why should the teachers be forced to fund their training?

• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, 16th September, 2021. The Report of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the Persons with Disabilities Amendment Bill (Senate Bills No.29 of 2021). view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: I wish to echo the sentiments of Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud. This is a different Statement from the one that Sen. Kinyua brought. The Committee members are handing the issues as they come. If they have already handled the issue in Laikipia and another Statement has been brought today, let them also arrange and deal with it accordingly. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Let us not point fingers, dismantle each other or wash dirty linen in public. People are listening to us and we know how we handle our issues according to the Standing Orders. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: I know that we are politicians who can talk for our people. It can help to solve the issues in the Committees if we tame ourselves to the point where we can handle our issues in a more respectful way. view
