• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I vote ‘Yes.’ view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion as amended for both the calendar and also the sittings of the Senate committees. Some of our committees have a full--- view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I want to support the amendments because some of the committees of this House have an overflowing in-tray and there is so much business that needs to be done. If we are going to avoid the work of committees totally, that would be bad for both the House and the committees. I support the amendments and hope that you will see me because I am still pressed to contribute for the main Motion. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support the Motion as amended. We listened to the address by the President. I support Sen. (Dr.) Milgo that the President did not order Parliament. He suggested that Parliament should look at its calendar and see how to alter it. He suggested that it will be good to go on recess. He also suggested the same for the Judiciary. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Sometimes people are very quick to judge without thinking about the information they get. Being a President is not easy because you have to balance between the economy and the lives of your people. It is in that respect that the President suggested that counties which have been overwhelmed by this disease be locked down for sometimes and I am happy about it. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: People have said that he should have given a period for the lockdown. Normally he locks down for one or two months, but this time he did not. I am sure that the fear of the Government was that during this Easter period, people were going to flock to social places and merry make and spread the disease wildly. It is not that I know, but I will not be surprised if the President announces after Easter that people should go back to their normal business. I hope he does that. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: We know that even with the curfew and all other requirements by the Ministry of Health, the behaviour of Kenyans out there is far from what you would expect of a people in the midst of a pandemic. When you go to our counties or even markets, you will see people walking without masks. When the curfew time is about to commence, you will see the police busy locking bars and collecting whatever they can from bar owners. They are least concerned about the curfew and the implications of the health of the people. I request the provincial administrations in ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: through a police roadblock. How many people are we going to kill in this country before we understand that proceeds of corruption will not help? I am sure some of the policemen who allow that to happen have been affected if not infected by the disease. Although it is not right to wish it on anybody, I hope they will realise that this pandemic is bad for the entire country, including themselves. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion of changing the calendar of our sittings. It is important because the change of the structure of our sittings will be one major example to show how seriously the Senate is taking this pandemic. Notwithstanding the privilege of deciding when to sit and the amount of business before this House, we have chosen in the interest of good health and to give an example and a statement to this nation that we can have two sittings in a week. In between, I do hope that ... view
