• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: professionalism in terms of confidentiality of somebody’s plight or disease simply because of this disease. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said this before and I think Sen. Sakaja must mention to the Ministry of Health when they meet them. When I listen to Hon. Mutahi Kagwe and sometimes Hon. Mercy Mwangangi, they remind me of my favourite WWF wrestling person called Undertaker. Every time he used to walk into the ring, the lights used to go off and something nasty would happen. The messaging about Covid-19 must change. The People in Makueni County and other places in Kenya do not think there is Covid-19 in the country. They are not taking it seriously because ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Generally, I thank the Committee for doing a good job and making sure that as we go along, let us tell Kenyans it is not over yet. I think the worst is yet to come. We cannot relax this thing. We must continue to tell people to wash their hands every day even if they have to repeat. After all, we go to church every Sunday to be told that Jesus is coming. We never get tired of going to church. So, we must continue preaching this message. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Lastly, this is what I want to say to the churches--- view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: If we can open a restaurant for people to go and eat, why can we not open a church for people to go and pray? I was in Canada and they closed the airport, but they allowed the Catholic Church to continue. You do not have to congregate, but you can allow people to go one by one or five people to pray. After all, we start our National Anthem by saying, "O God, of all Creation." It is a legitimate issue. Thank you. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought you would communicate that we had agreed that we will continue with business until 5.30 p.m., so that we can finish both. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is a phrase that we used to learn during the first term in Law School that is: ignoratia juris non excusant: ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Sometimes when I see the clauses drafted in some of these Bills, it makes me wonder whether there are people who deliberately want us to fight amongst ourselves. This is because the proposal in the Division of Revenue to put all the money of Nairobi City County in the Consolidated Fund is not only unconstitutional but also illegal. It also smacks bad faith on the ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Governor has appointed himself the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Health. We must continue to fight for devolution. I am not afraid to say that the headlines that I saw last week about Members of Parliament suffering from COVID-19 disease is one of the reasons that are being used by the people who are fighting Parliament so that we do not ask the several questions about the billions of shillings that are being set aside to fight COVID-19. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: People want to spend the money the way that they want. People want to make Gazette Notices the way they feel like so that sooner or later we become irrelevant. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support the amendment, Sen. Orengo is right. People consoling Sen. Murkomen are also right, if he needs to be consoled. It seems he does not need to be consoled. In law, this is called volenti non fit injuria, he did put himself in that position. We must continue speaking to devolution. We cannot continue associating devolution with governors because devolution is not about governors. If ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: .: I tell you. view
