• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for the lifesaving action of drugs to be taken when they are attending the normal dialysis sessions. They need those drugs to sustain them. If they are lucky to get a matching kidney transplant, then they now need drugs to suppress any reaction that may come from those drugs. These drugs are expensive and require mentoring and evaluation from time to time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition which is before this House will give us an opportunity to survey how UHC is able to take care of these patients who are a fairly large ... view
• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to also weigh in on this adjournment Motion. It is important that we put this Nation view

• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: together. It is critical that as a nation, we move together. As Senators representing the various counties in this country, we have merely postponed the problem. That issue has got to be decided on, one way or the other. I urge and request that the leadership and the Speaker should convene, as early as possible, so that this matter can be deliberated upon and an agreement agreed on. If we do not do so, we increase the level of anxiety and make the counties very uncertain on how to handle their budgets. There is a need for predictability of these ... view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to comment on Sen. Khaniri’s Statement. My observation in the past few weeks is that we have seen the spiralling of COVID-19 cases within the communities. We have also seen the behaviour of people becoming more casually without any due regard to the intensity and the problem at hand. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: We have also seen that whereas before we were dealing with external source of COVID-19, it is now community spread. Not only it is now community spread, but also it has gone to some social gatherings such as funerals that are now creating a great danger to the society within the country. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: I have also noticed that county governments are not proactive in anticipating the rise in some of COVID-19 cases. I may venture to say that unless we take a proactive action and put in place the protocols that have been defined and pronounced by the Ministry of Health, we are likely to run into a wild, or dangerous situation where it may be difficult to cope with the roundup in our hospitals requiring ICU treatment. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Sen. Khaniri’s Statement has come at a time to remind ourselves on the gravity of COVID-19 pandemic and not to take it as one of those other elements. It is my expectation that whatever may be taken into account, we should minimise the complications that would arise out of COVID-19. My anticipation is that eventually people will form the innate immunity that these mild infections might invoke what we call an immunological response that would give enough antibodies titers to protect the populations from any further attack of COVID-19. The only other worry is that if the mutation of COVID-19 ... view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Secondly, we should observe hand washing. As we know, the virus is normally denatured by use of soap. Soap is fairly alkaline while COVID-19 is acidic.
