• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: (1) State the measures that have been put in place to improve on the surveillance services currently being provided at the various points of entry into the country particularly, due to the fact that the virus is airborne and as such can be transmitted from person to person without the need for contact with an infected person. (2) Outline the plans, if any, that the National Government has put in place to train the medical personnel on identification, education and treatment of individuals that may present at health facilities with symptoms of the virus which has since been declared a ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice. Let me congratulate the Senator of Lamu, Hon. Anuar for this Petition and also to thank you because we cannot discuss enough matters of health as this House. Any conversation about health is critical since it is a devolved function. I believe we have seen in our counties even though not as much as we would have wanted to see in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: terms of development towards healthcare to our people, we must admit that with devolution, we have seen strides. In the counties that are a bit more progressive, we have seen that citizens have begun to receive some relief. I know that the Universal Health Care Programme that is in Makueni is actually working. As you know, as Africans, when one relative is unwell, the entire community, village or extended family is also affected. So, we must continuously fund health issues. I know that it is possible and that it can work as it has been envisioned in the Constitution. I ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to eulogize a great man lying-in-state here in Parliament. I personally have not had an encounter with the late President, but I am a beneficiary like most of us here in the House. My father served as a Member of Parliament under the Kenya African National Union (KANU) for the longest time in Makueni. He was appointed judge of the High Court and later the East African Court of Justice until the time of his retirement. You can say that from that, I am also benefiting from the fruits of ... view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: in the commentaries, I have listened to a lot of debates going on television because that is where I can now gather information, I was not politically aware during the 24-year reign of the late President. I am one of those who were born just at the time when he took office. So, we have to rely on history. I must say it is interesting listening to the divergent views –those who are bitter and those who celebrate. However, I appreciate the fact that many people have come out to say that instead of bitterness, they forgave the late President ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: I still wonder why we have mudslides. It is because these legacies have not been carried through. I remember the legacy of planting two trees when you cut down one. This is something we seem to have a challenge keeping going considering that we have a Constitution that is telling us to conserve our environment. The late President did it and he did it hands-on. There is that legacy which we must appreciate and the passion with which he did it with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the attention to detail that the late President had has been alluded to here before. ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: The level of discipline that he had in keeping a routine, waking up early, having devotion, early morning security meetings and others, was unbelievable. That is the kind of discipline we should emulate, if we call ourselves his children. Truly speaking, everybody here can say that he or she is a child of the late President, because they have had an experience with him, whether directly or otherwise. So, as we celebrate him, we must keep his legacy of peace, love, unity, discipline and humility going. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: In one of the commentaries in the newspapers, it is said about how humble he was towards his boss, the late first President Kenyatta. It was written how he was humiliated many times, and his colleagues would ask him why he had to withstand it. They asked him to quit, but he hanged in there and served his master. I believe it is because of that, that he ascended to power easily; it was meant for him. Therefore, as leaders, if we are sincere about mourning the late President, basi view
