"content": "If you remember, yesterday, and I think you were on the seat also, we were discussing the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, and we were saying let us increase the punitive fine, so that people can implement the law. This is such that when we tell counties to employ five percent of PwDs and they violate it, we have a mechanism of punishing those aggressors, both at the national and county levels. Thirdly, I agree the headquarters should be in Nairobi although we need to agree that sometimes with the advent of devolution, let us have branches in Bomet, Nandi, Mombasa, Lamu, West Pokot, Uasin Gishu, Mandera, Wajir, and even Migori counties, now that Nairobi is the Capital City, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you and I come from counties dominated by sports, and I saw there was sports in your county, the Double IAF. However, tell the people who built that stadium, the county government, to build public toilets, because our children really suffered. I got that complaint on access to water and the lack of sanitary amenities in that stadium. I hope the county government can fix it in good time, and you can take that message to my friend, the governor. I know Sen. Cheruiyot has pushed for elections in Athletics Kenya. Can you believe that somebody training in Iten must travel all the way to Nairobi if they want services of Athletics Kenya? Most of them are using matatus. Why do we not devolve offices to Kericho, Kisii, Nandi, Iten and where these people are? As we say that the headquarters of the Council for PwDs should be in Nairobi, we must remember the people in mashinani, so that we do not waste time. I pity our athletes that they have to travel for six hours---"

"content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not like the through pass that I have been given. How can he say “On this one”, I thought I should inform him on everything? Anyway, the quick point I wanted to inform Sen. Cherarkey is that in 2016, when we were doing the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Act, the one that currently guides the management of athletics and all these doping issues, I brought an amendment to this House, and argued very vigorously that the headquarters of that institution should not be here in Nairobi, but should be somewhere in the North Rift, where 90 per cent of the athletes come from anyway. Unfortunately, that amendment was defeated. I want to plead with my good friend, Sen. Cherarkey, that he can give it a second shot, because the country is in a better mode of equity right now. Under the broad-based arrangement we are reorganizing Kenya to ensure that those that have benefited more than others are giving space for those from the forgotten corners of the country. Therefore, I urge Sen. Cherarkey to bring that amendment, and we will support him."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. Thank you to the Majority Leader. I will borrow his notes after I finish submitting. I am willing. I am happy because the Majority Leader said he will support me. So, he will mobilise the numbers, because he is the owner of the baby. I will be the foster father of the process. Therefore, in the principle of equity, I agree with the Majority Leader. Now let every Kenyan feel that they are part of this country. While we say the Council should remain in Nairobi, let us get an office in Bungoma or any part of this country. I hope Sen. Crystal Asige will be there when the President will be signing this Bill into an Act. I request the Senate Majority Leader to ensure that he and Sen. Crystal Asige will be with the President. You should be happy Sen. Crystal Asige, the Majority Leader has confirmed that you will be there during signing of this Bill by the President. Kindly appeal for the resources so that we can have offices across the 47 counties, so that we can protect devolution in this country. Number four and the final point, you need to protect me, Temporary Speaker, is the introduction of Clause 66(a). I think it is on street begging. We need to agree. I agree with the National Assembly. I do not know where the truth is, but you find most of these people, when teargas is thrown in town, the people without legs suddenly have legs. Maybe Sen. Sifuna will guide me on this, because he knows the streets better than me. You know I am a villager. When a teargas is thrown in streets of Nairobi, the people without legs suddenly have legs and there were beggars at different corners. So, I do not know, I agree that the people living with disability should not be misused or abused or be used for street begging. It must be punishable by law. Anybody found must be punished by the law. Even if they are children. On Clause 73(a), with the affordable housing programme, let us give five percent to People with Disabilities. I want to appeal to the Government that in the affordable housing programme, out of the units that the Government will sell to Kenyans, let it ensure that in the advert, we put that five percent is reserved for People with Disabilities."
