Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Allow me to start by engaging the House. When you hear any one saying, “haraaaaambee”, what is the first thing that you answer or think of? Of course, Nyayo. Let us not lie to ourselves because we can speak, but this spirit...

Sen. Orwoba Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to add my comment on Sen. Beth Syengo’s Statement. Allow us, as women, to talk about femicide. It is a taxi driver here who was a female, it has been violence on intimate partners who are women. All those Airbnb and Kware Dam...

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question regards all the deficits that we are seeing. Does the return-to-work-formula with the lecturers have a relation with the current deficits that you have?
