• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I will start with Hon. Passaris. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, before I read the Statement, I want to give a bit of background. I want to thank Hon. Passaris for her indulgence. Her Statement was supposed to have been responded to in the month of June, 2020. However, when we got her Statement, we were subjected to a game of ping pong between the Ministry of Devolution and Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government claimed that the issue of food belonged to the Ministry of Devolution whereas the Ministry of ... view

They also distributed free sanitizers. In order to ensure that the distribution of relief food in Nairobi County is effective and efficient, a number of criteria were observed such as: (i) The approval for emergency relief supply by both public and private agencies was centralised and coordinated ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The issue of relief food is usually a continuous programme under the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. The issue that was raised by my sister Hon. Passaris was about the Covid-19 pandemic. That food was actually supplied by the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government through a programme which was run from Interior. With regard to relief food, individuals have been involved in helping. The church should also help in giving food. There are many programmes within the City of Nairobi and within many other areas where organized groups like the church and ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The other Statement was sought by Hon. Washiali. Matungu and Mumias Sub-County Intelligence Committee had received credible intelligence reports that some goons were planning to disrupt a fundraising which was to be held at St. Leo Catholic Church and Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church. It further indicated that groups of local youth had planned to cause chaos which could have resulted in unnecessary destruction of property and likely injuries to innocent people. All security committees consequently resolved to cancel the respective meeting to avoid chaos. The two catholic priests were informed accordingly and they ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: At Our Lady of Assumption Church in Matungu, the mass commenced at 7.30 a.m. and ended at 8.30 a.m. It was led by Reverend Father Humphrey Makokha. The service was peaceful. The congregants dispersed peacefully, and no teargas was used. The Public Order Act, Section 5, Chapter 56, Laws of Kenya, is still relevant and practicable in the current constitutional dispensation. It states that any person who elects to attend or participate in public gathering or meeting or public procession shall, pursuant to the law and in particular Section 5: (i) Exercise a sense of civic duty and responsibility and ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Statement was very clear that the first meeting which was held without permission, there were no police officers and that is why there was chaos. However, if Hon. Washiali notes, the other meetings they had were orderly and with no problem at all. So, we should always be ready to report the meetings we are having so that we just do not have disorderly meetings and then we have chaos. Also, everybody has a right to make sure that the citizens who come even in churches are safe. There are people who are putting ... view

Hon. Speaker, as I move the Motion, I would like to refresh Members a bit about COVID- 19 because many of us have seen what is currently happening in the country. The COVID-19 is probably the most severe threat to human ... view
