• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, protect me from the Senate Majority Leader. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe I have every right to move and Members have every right to vote for this amendment. If you do not scare Members, the Motion will be defeated. Members cannot retreat and hide from the people they lead. Members must transparently and honestly share information with the people they lead. If you have some information and you are not sharing with Members, the more reason Members become suspicious. This Motion is very important in that we are not ordinary people. We are not a gathering like some Members are saying here. We are the third arm ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: I believe the Parliamentary Service Commission has no right to shut Parliament down. It is not their mandate. If they try, they can be impeached. It is not proper for us to get information that we can be shut down by the Parliamentary Service Commission. We should make a decision that is sensible. I believe this is a comprise rather than defeating the request for adjournment. We are supporting the Senate Majority Leader to help us achieve a compromise but also allow us to be leaders and not cowards or people who hide under our beds and receive information from ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: It is a point of information, if he would permit. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much. In those 14 days, we expect the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to put in place practical measures to protect this House from the spread of Coronavirus Disease. We expect kits to be found, scaling down of staff and other relevant measures. For the subsequent two weeks, we as Senators will share information with our constituents. We want to be formally updated by the Government. We also want to bring formal issues from our counties so that the Government can deal with them. Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to speak to this Motion. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: The religious say that, do all you can to protect yourself but seek the protection of God and all will be well. I am glad that as Senators, we are doing as best as we can to ensure this institution outlives us. We are recessing for two weeks so that measures can be put in place to ensure we continue functioning. We are not running away or hiding. We are ensuring that the institution is safe and that humanely possible, measures are put in place to ensure our continuity is guaranteed. I think that is a sensible thing to do ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are two things about the Coronavirus (COVID- 19) that we must think of. Many people here are talking about physical death. You cannot run away from physical death. In fact, it is possible that within the two weeks, we will lose one or two of our loved ones or even ourselves. That is what is logically possible and we cannot prevent it. Let us not think that even these measures that we are putting in place will guarantee that we do not die. In fact, you wonder what kind of life we would have if we ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make a few appropriate remarks regarding this Petition. I congratulate my sister, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, for raising this issue which speaks to the purpose for which people come together to set up a Government to offer security for themselves against all manner of affliction. It is not just about physical security; it is about financial, welfare and medical security. view
