• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Being in this facemask is problematic. Being in a curfew situation is even worse. I propose that you allow the Senate Majority Leader an extra three minutes to finish making his contribution because this Motion is self-explanatory. Limiting the number of Senators from coming to Parliament today was already a challenge. Some Members are already cursing us. Therefore, the Senate Majority Leader must be guided. view
• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First is to condole with the families that have lost their loved ones during the curfew. Curfew is now competing with the Coronavirus Disease in terms of deaths. In fact, the curfew is now leading. For the first time, the narrative must change because the epistemology shows that it is no longer the people who travelled abroad that have the disease, but it is now being communicated between person to person. Therefore, the message must change. We must clean our knobs, tables, doors and every other place where everybody touches. Secondly, we must get to ... view
• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: with Kitui County. I am wondering whether this Committee can ask the Public Service Commission to hire these skilled workers and interns, so that we are prepared. Thirdly, only three counties have complied with isolation. It is very sad. This is something that this Committee must return to us a verdict. We want to know why the counties have been unable to comply. Fourth, only three counties in Kenya can do testing. Certification can only be given to three counties, that is, Kisumu, Machakos and Mombasa. Why is this so? Those are things that this Committee must tell us, so ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. First, it is obvious that we are in a crisis. Secondly, it is obvious that we have not taken enough measures. Yesterday, the Cabinet (CS), Amb. Macharia, was surprised that our matatus do not have hand sanitizers and are not clean. The COVID-19 makes us equal. We are going to realize that we are the same as those people who use matatus, and are not safe. For those of us who live in big mansions, the people who work for us come from slums or other places. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sakaja and ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Committee to covert the money that was supposed to be used for travel by Parliament executives and buy sanitizers? Sen. Murkomen sent us a clip of a Kamba lady calling COVID-19 “kolon.” She was wondering where “kolon” was. They do not have masks and have not even seen a medical officer. When I was coming to work this morning, I saw thousands of Kenyans walking to work. All of us will retreat to our homes. It is possible that all of you have gone to supermarkets and exhausted the shelves by buying whatever you can buy, including tissue paper. Just ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: It is not a funeral but a traditional song. For those who have quoted the Bible, allow me to quote 2nd Chronicles 7:13-14. “I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain. If I command the locust swarms to eat up all your crops, or if I send an epidemic to you, then the people will humble themselves and pray, and search for me, and turn from their wicked ways. I will hear them from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.” view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: This country needs to pray for all the corruption, trouble, division and marginalization that we have been preaching. People in this country must pray and turn from their wicked ways. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the process of his contribution, although Sen. Murkomen says he was giving information to Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko, he made a very telling statement that I am not sure whether he can make it or whether it was part of the information. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is interrupting because I was wondering about the fourth victim and our colleagues. That is why I said that part of the 30 days should be used as an avenue for we Members of this House to check our statuses because we do not know. That information sent even more panic to Members of this House we are sitting with. I am a little conflicted. view
