• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: which means that the hunter has become the hunted. I fully subscribe to what the distinguished Sen. Mugo has said. Stigmatising any situation in health is wrong. Mental illness or lunacy are English descriptions that are used at different times and the effect will depend on how someone receives them. The word lunacy or lunatic is not abusive but it is a description of a condition. However, I agree with her that we should not live in denial. My contribution on this matter will be mercurial because I am well versed on mental health matters. I also know that mental ... view

• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the use of the word “lunatic”, I agreed with Sen. Mugo. I said that it is an English word that is variously used. But if she finds it too strong - I do not think it is offensive but it is a strong word - we should expunge it from the HANSARD because it adds no value.

• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Cardinal Otunga Girls Secondary School is a school that is very dear to me. After my high school, when I had a short vacation or academic interlude before going to the university, I taught at Kibabii High School and Cardinal Otunga Girls School. It is a school that is in my neighborhood, very close to my residence. It neighbors Kibabii University and it is named after the great eminent Maurice Cardinal Otunga, who is one of the most distinguished church men this country has ever produced. He never sat in any church to solicit or receive huge donations on a ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill.
