• 24 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve who as usual amplifies the voice of the people who cannot speak for themselves by drawing our attention to the World Day of Social Justice. The World Day of Social Justice came about as a result of social injustices that exist in the world, our country and everywhere else we go to, work and play. The root cause of every social injustice is unequal treatment. Women, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and certain marginalized groups tend to suffer disproportionate social injustices. We are a few months to the general elections. ... view

• 24 Feb 2022 in Senate: I would like to urge our political systems and institutions to adhere to the political, democratic and constitutional foundations as per our Constitution, which guarantee social justice under Article 43. They should also ensure that discrimination, which is an offshoot of social injustice, does not lock out the less fortunate, women, marginalized groups, PWDs and the rest, especially in the political space. The offshoots also include tribalism, unequal distribution of resources and wealth and discrimination. However, this does not describe the sense of suffering that people against which social injustices are meted suffer. We talk about discrimination and violence against ... view

• 24 Feb 2022 in Senate: We want to make sure that political parties do not become institutions that entrench social injustice. This day was mooted to ensure social injustices are dealt with. I have sponsored the Preservation of Human Dignity and Protection of Economic and Social Rights (Senate Bills No. 21 of 2021). This Bill was conceived because of the social injustice and the offshoots thereof. view

For now, our focus is on our political parties and political leaders to ensure they do not become instruments of social injustice in this country as we go to party primaries and the elections this year. view

• 24 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Statement and congratulate Sen. Kihika for standing up for what has become very notorious happenings. The year 2021 saw Kenya have the highest number of extra judicial killings and forced disappearances in the history of our country. The year 2021 was also the year we had COVID-19 Pandemic. Though people were confined and literally in one place, I wonder how they ended up being killed or forced to disappear such that we have the highest number of forced disappearances, killings and shootings in that year. We are very early ... view
