• 16 May 2019 in Senate: (iv) ensure that women and girls have access to a range of menstrual hygiene management products; and, (v) ensure that counties include MHM in their County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) and County Health Strategic Plans (CHSPs) and have a dedicated budgetary allocation for MHM activities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even though the Policy is a good initiative to curb the problems women and girls face during menstruation, it needs to be revised to have pragmatic steps or activities to achieve the objects and action plans in the Policy. I believe the Policy should not be an academic research paper but ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement requested by the Senator for Makueni. It is with a heavy heart that I listen to these issues every day. This is unacceptable. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud said that the first pipeline was constructed in 1978 during the previous regimes. We see these things everywhere including in the water catchment areas. All the projects which were done in the early 1970s to 1990s are still intact. However, of late, everything seems to be falling apart. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Roads that were constructed 18 months ago have all been washed away; pipelines are now leaking effluent into rivers; and bridges are collapsing on the day of their commissioning. This is impunity and grand corruption. For those of us who think that corruption will just affect us financially, it will affect our health and our future. It is high time - and I second Sen. Farhiya‟s wish - that this matter be treated as a criminal act and the criminals should be brought book. If these criminals are State officers, they should be brought to account to answer for their ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: I am looking forward to the implementation of this, especially the water analysis. We have cases whereby there is an outbreak of non-communicable diseases in our country. Every day, we are burying people who have died of cancers that cannot be The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 15 May 2019 in Senate: explained. Why not, if this is the state of our rivers and environment, which are all polluted? view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: A few months ago, we got little rain and the amount of garbage that was in the Nairobi River was unacceptable. I look forward to seeing the results of these analysis and also look forward to the day that this impunity shall be stopped. This House has the opportunity to do so now. I support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement by my Senator, Sen. Dullo. I would like to bring the attention of this House to Article 27 of the Constitution which speaks to the equality and freedom from discrimination. It states that:- “Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law” Therefore, the Ministry of Education should ensure that our children have equal opportunity before the law. Is a mean grade of D+ a basis for the Ministry to deny our children the right to education? It ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: we want to construct laboratories. The next day, we say we want 100 per cent transition without thinking through what it portents or what is required to do that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the affirmative action to lower the grades of students from ASAL areas to a mean grade of D+ is a legitimate affirmative action which should be upheld. As you have heard, from the previous speakers, there are people who sit in this House and come from really disadvantaged backgrounds. They score the D+ not because they are stupid but because the environment in which they have learnt in ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute. The students are gone, but I wish them well. I hope they picked one or two things. Let me also join you in welcoming back our colleagues. It was very nice to see them after a long time. With regards to Bills and the mandate of this House, I agree that we have let ourselves down. It is not the first time that Bills have been assented to by the President without the input of this House. I can think of a dozen of them that have passed through that ... view
