• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, who is a good friend of mine. I stand here being a proud woman to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, who is one of us. I have interacted with her and I know her capabilities. I also thank the other honourable Senators, who decided to step down for her, because I know they are equally qualified for that position. That confirms how much we respect and have a lot of faith and trust in Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. I am sure that you will play ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important Statement as I also congratulate Sen. Omogeni for bringing up this Statement concerning the recent demolitions of houses and homesteads in Nyamira County. From the contribution of other fellow Senators, you can see how this is affecting each one of us and that is why we are getting emotional. The reason why we are getting emotional is because of the suffering of Kenyans. It is like we are not caring for our citizens. The other day, we saw demolitions that took place in Kariobangi ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: I support this Statement. It has not only happened in Nyamira, but it has happened in Kariobangi and other places. By the time that we even think of how we can revive their lives and support them, their lives will never be the same. Most of them are exposed to a lot of danger. Imagine expectant mothers, young girls who have nowhere to lay their heads? view

• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: We need proper and immediate action to be taken. Since, by the time we set up a Committee to look up at all this and settle on something; it will take a lot of time, I suggest that proper and immediate action be taken. In future, for any demolition to take place, the people to be moved should be prepared and supported after which the Government can take action. This idea of people coming to people’s places in the morning, demolishing their properties and turning people hopeless within an hour should not be tolerated anymore. I support the Statement and ... view

• 26 May 2020 in Senate: It is unfortunate that during this season of COVID-19 which is already affecting everybody and every country, we are also being affected by this incident now. Losing a loved one in a plane crash is a sad thing. It is even worse when one knows that somebody has played a part in it. I want to plead with the Government to give this matter the attention it deserves as I also send my condolences to the affected families. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: We know that many women have been widowed and children orphaned. Today they are mourning and they may not even know what the future holds for them. It is high time for us to stand and pray with them and also for the Government to give this matter the proper attention that it deserves. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: We need to demand for a proper explanation because the Ethiopian government have already admitted that they played a part in that. So, we need to know why this has happened and our Government should stand firm and see how best we can handle this. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: I pray for the affected families and hope that this will not happen again. view
