This is not an idle talk. If you look at how we treat people who enter this nation, they are taken and isolated somewhere at their own cost. It is as if it is a crime to have COVID-19. The police threaten to lock you down.

9 Jun 2020 in Senate:
I urge the Government to have a human and kind face because the Government is responsible for this. The Government must think as quickly as possible and partner with the churches because love is found in religion such as churches. The closure of churches and opening of bars is not the right thing. If we want to fight stigma, let us have our churches opened. They will talk to the citizenry and encourage them to discuss stigma. We also want schools opened as soon as possible. This is because our teachers and lecturers who talk to us communicate very effectively. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to conclude by urging the Government to lead in the war to ensure that our COVID-19 patients are not stigmatised and there is general acceptance that this is part of nature.

I support this Statement because it has given us the opportunity to defend the turf that belongs to the counties for which we were elected to do and mandated by Articles 94 and 95 of the Constitution.

Madam Deputy Speaker, you had given Sen. Kasanga an opportunity to proceed to the next Statement. I stand to be corrected but I did not hear you refer it to the relevant Committee. The importance of that is that, if you look at the Constitution, any entity that is not Parliament does not have the authority to make any law. If it is not referred to the relevant Committee and it dies without a report being brought back to this House, then we will have allowed an entity that is not Parliament to have created legislation that amounts to law. ...
