• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You should have told Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that “Mwana wa mberi” is not a funeral song. The funeral song is called “ Luwere” . “ Mwana wa mberi” is for birthdays and weddings. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Regarding the Motion on Adjournment, I also think differently. We have three arms of Government. The Judiciary has not closed down but scaled down. The Executive has not closed down because the Cabinet is meeting and giving direction and hope to the country. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: I think we are making a wrong decision. This House should not close. We should probably scale down our sittings but continuously monitor the situation and hold the Executive to account by Members raising issues on this Floor. We should inform the country on what measures we are taking, what we have done, and the resources we have committed. That is what we should do to help this country. It is a coward act for this House and the other one to be closed. We should not do that. We are actually absconding our duty. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: This House should summon Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) where we find it necessary to do so, to find out what is happening. We risk having a situation whereby the Government will only concentrate on COVID-19 in Nairobi and forget that the pandemic could be in Mandera, Moyale, Bungoma, Siaya and elsewhere. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it appears that majority of the Members will want to vote for adjournment but in my view it is wrong. We should not have done this. We should have remained here. As we do so, the national Government should know that the people who will be affected by the closedown of the country are not MPs or the Judiciary but the ordinary man and woman in Korogocho who walks to a mjengo every day then goes back with Kshs200 to buy food to put on the table. The Government should consider immediately giving food rations to wananchi, ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: As others have said, we do not seem to have sufficient capacity to test and verify who is sick and who is not. As a result, social media hooligans have joined in with fake news and all manner of stories. I am happy that about three people were arrested in Kitui for spreading fake news about who is infected and who is not. More importantly, this country has had very serious economic problems yet we want to shut down. I would like the Speaker to give us direction on what we are going to do. This is the budget season ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Senate Majority Leader in order to interrupt Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko who was moving an Amendment Motion, giving him information, opposing him or debating the amendment before it is accepted and put on the Floor?

• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: interjection? Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko was never asked whether he needed information and he never granted it. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The distinguished Senator for Samburu County briskly walked to the Dispatch Box and started reading some papers. I wonder what he is doing. Is he giving a notice of Motion or making a personal statement? If he is giving a notice of Motion, he should start by saying, ‘Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion’ before you proceed to read the notice of Motion. view
