• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Disaster Risk Management Bill is a good thing that is coming in now, but should have been here as we established the Government. Risks and disasters have always been part of a community. To imagine that there is no law that is specifically geared towards risk and disaster management, is a sad thing. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: I will point out three things that this Bill seeks to set up. One is the Disaster Risk Management Fund, which will focus on putting resources together, so that when there is a disaster, we do not ignore it or try to set up ways of getting money.

Currently, we have disaster management as a unit mainly in the Office of the President or what we used to call the provincial administration. view

• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to move that the Office of the County Printer Bill (Senate Bills No. 13 of 2021) be read a Second Time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I had expressed earlier, this Bill had been brought to this House by myself in 2018 in this Parliament. However, it had also been canvassed in the previous Parliament noting the importance of the Bill to devolution and the challenges that the practitioners of devolution are going through in trying to publish their writes ups. Public participation was intensively done on this Bill and some of the deliberations ... view

• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Act does not provide for the establishment of the office of a county printer that will then publish these gazettes.
