28 Apr 2020 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Malalah for raising an important issue. Now that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) has pronounced himself with finality over this matter, I suspect that it will likely be challenged somewhere. Can the Committee establish whether the CS will recluse himself from interfering with the challenge? I am sure due process and the right to be heard were never followed. Can the CS assure the Committee that when this matter is challenged, he will not stand on the way, interfere or make a final decision that will make it impossible for restitution to ...

28 Apr 2020 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for restoring order to the House. I am a Member of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. I am in touch with my Chairperson, Sen. Ndwiga. The information available to the Committee is that on Monday next week, we will meet the CS who is responsible for this matter. Therefore, as I speak, we do not have an accurate and comprehensive answer. We are seeking the indulgence of the Deputy Speaker to give us one more week.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge you to exclude me from those who have spoken. This is because I just rode on a Statement that was raised, however, if there is time, include me.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important matter. First, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Committee on COVID- 19, specifically the Chairperson of the Committee for the passion and interest he has shown while steering that Committee. That is wonderful. I also want to congratulate you, Chair, for the manner in which you have conducted business today. Most of us have had an opportunity to speak. I just want to say two things: One, I listen to the CS, Hon. Mutahi Kagwe speak every day and I ...

31 Mar 2020 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make my remarks on this important matter. I want to go straight to the issues of quarantine and curfew. Without debating the illegality or legality of the curfew, which is in court, it is not possible to have a one-fit-all solution. A curfew that is applicable in Nairobi is not applicable in Mandera or Migori, where we have poor widows who are looking after their families. They sell fish that is only purchased between 6.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. They do not have savings or anything to eat, yet ...

31 Mar 2020 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker Sir, because of time, I laud you and your team for returning Kshs200 million to the National Treasury for use in the fight against the Coronavirus Disease. However, I have a modification that I want to suggest. Let us divide that money among counties. I expect Kshs4 million for my county. This money can be used in every county to do useful things. I am sure that the person running the national show will only see what he is able to see, and it will probably be in Nairobi, Makueni, Bungoma and yet other counties also deserve a ...

17 Mar 2020 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have an amendment to this Motion. Kindly allow me to move it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following amendment to the Motion– That the Motion be amended by deleting Paragraph (a) and substituting therefore with the following new paragraph– Adjourn its Plenary sitting today, 17th March, 2020, for two weeks so as to reconvene on Tuesday, 31st March, 2020, and, thereafter, hold one sitting in each week. In my view, this is the compromise which is important. I believe that we need two weeks to put in place systems that would protect MPs ...

17 Mar 2020 in Senate:
I propose that we meet once a week with the responsible people in Government to tell us the status of the spread and the measures being taken to deal with it. We will also give them feedback as to the status of the safety of our constituents. It is important to ensure that we meet once a week so that we receive official information from the Government. It is sad that the Government is addressing us through the press that in its usual distortion shares with us such information. I am not comfortable citing to my people information in the ...
