• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do understand what is happening. I encourage my friends; my predecessor and the team, to take heart. Please, let us get back together. We can always learn a thing or two from each other. With those very few remarks, knowing that time is spent, I am here now. I can assure the Members on the other side of the bench and the leadership on the other side that we will work together. We are still going to oversight counties and the Government. We are not running away from our responsibilities. We are just here to ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you for all those who prayed and helped us in any way, and have been wishing us well. We will bring the team together, God willing. Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also join my colleagues in supporting the Statement being sought. It is important that national interests be balanced very well with some of the decisions that are made. If NEMA wants to close down an institution or a business like this that affects so many people, that participation by the concerned people should be sought. This is another urgent matter. Can they even just understand the gravity of the effect of people who will suffer? view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Is it possible for this Committee to investigate what can really be done to keep the place open, notwithstanding NEMA and environment issues? This is just so that livelihoods are not affected in these difficult days. Just as they said of the Moi University SACCO, this is another urgent matter that we should now begin to stop the trend of investments like this one going down the drain. This is a huge company that affects the livelihoods of so many people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know you will give this opportunity to the Committee to discuss. I hope it can ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also join you and the rest of the Senators in supporting this Petition. We are going this way now, even with public health, where we are considering community health workers. This means that we are beginning to look at how to reach the villages and the remote areas in our country. These graduates from AHITI and other institutions will help a lot in getting to the far-flung areas of our country to help with farming, especially in livestock and range management. Therefore, I want to congratulate the petitioners and wish them well. I ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to add before you give direction. I was listening to the Senate Minority Leader presenting, I thought I would add my voice to the same argument. I am very surprised that a matter of debate on Motion of Adjournment could also be referred to any Committee. It is crucial that we stick to procedures. However, at the same time, I feel like we are getting a bit into the way of reasoning within ourselves about what a leader on this side can bring that sounds like it should have been brought by the other side. ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I rise to speak in support of the Statement and say two things. First of all, those of us who live along common borders are in deep danger of being exposed to people entering and leaving at will. I think that the Government should exercise the authority that they have to alert our people on the borders who have no idea what this Coronavirus is all about. Secondly, self quarantine is not easy with the African household. The way we live, there is no such thing known as self-quarantine. There is no such a thing as self- ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to be very careful in allowing travellers from China. If quarantine is to work, the Government has better find an institution to quarantine them until the requisite days are over. Countries that have taken Coronavirus seriously have institutions where they quarantine travellers coming in from China until 15 days are over. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: I hope that the Government takes the issues that we are raising here seriously. There should be no other direct flights coming from that country especially that province or any other province. The extent to which people are getting infected and dying is not being explained enough to us. No one has full information about this disease. All we know is that it is a deadly disease. It is a scary situation. As we wait to see what happens, we are asking for action not rhetoric. Let us be stricter because our capacity to deal with this matter is limited. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. 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
