• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: The fact that COVID-19 has affected very many businesses and activities in this country and the world cannot be overemphasized. As I speak, schools are closed. As we prepare to open them in January, we do not even know whether they will be well prepared in terms of protocols and social distancing. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Committees in this House have been doing very well in terms of online and virtual meetings. We have been able to conduct several meetings. The raising of quorum for the meeting is no longer an issue. I am sure this hybrid system will bring on board many of the Senators and, therefore, many activities will be discharged. With the advancement in technology, many of Senators here are able to login and conduct several meetings via this method. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: I thank this Committee for their work. I am sure we will be able to deal with 20 Bills before this Senate expeditiously. Some of them are in the Second Reading, while others are in the Committee of Whole. If we do not embrace this technology, it will take us two years to dispense with these Bills. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: I wish we could organize ourselves as we used to do in the past. Out of the three sitting days, we dedicated a day for Statements and Motions. The other two days we can deal with Bills. I know all the three items are equally important. However, it is critical to give Bills more time. Maybe with this hybrid system, we will have morning and afternoon sessions for those who would be available.

• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: I laud the Committee because they have gone ahead to even speak to the issues of etiquette in dress and appearance during virtual meetings and following the standard on how to join the meeting. No Senator will be affected in any way. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, once the Senators adopt this method, it will only be number two in Africa. I have seen that the European countries have already adopted this. For example, we have the UK, Estonia and the USA. These countries have gone a long way not only to adopt this method of work in Parliament, but also in their courts, learning and even conducting businesses. We will be able to borrow what this Committee has done and apply it to other institutions in this country. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: This Government promised to ensure that every child had a laptop. Had that been done, right now the whole country would be conducting education via virtual learning. I am sure this is the way to go. We encourage our Government to ensure all parts of this country are connected to electricity, internet and supply computers to all students in this country. view

• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 47 (1) to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern, namely, financial intermediaries as key in boosting food and nutrition security. As you are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic is a health and human crisis that has caused food and nutrition insecurity to millions of people globally, Kenya included. Measures to mitigate the pandemic are already affecting global food systems. Border restrictions and lockdowns, for example, in some parts of the world are leaving millions of seasonal workers without livelihoods as well as constraining transport of food ... view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I do not know whether I will go to my next Statement or I do it later? view
