• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: communicate with them. We need to look at this more holistically. Perhaps, we need to harmonise all the pieces of legislation that are facing PWDs, so that we have one major plan for them. That legislation should have all the sub-components of different disabilities. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: With those few remarks, I beg to support. I look forward to working with Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and other Senators in this House like Sen. Mwaura who have been champions for the PWDs. view

• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Our Committee is up to the task. As you know, we do have a lot of petitions because land issues are very emotive.

This is a problem that has been with us and continues to be with us; and for a while now, we have relegated it to ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: agencies have different structures, goals and agendas. Therefore, how do they then work together? That continues to pose a problem. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know in part that perhaps the most important thing is information sharing. What are some of the ways in which these multi-agencies can share information?

I do not think that I have ever heard of, or talked to my children about these things at home ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Initiative. Community policing has worked for many places, but with very defined programs and structures that have information sharing at its core. Where do people within the Nyumba Kumi Initiative go to with this information? How does it link to the different agencies that look at these things? Therefore, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very good Bill. Unfortunately, I do not have the principal Act which this Bill seeks to amend. Perhaps some of these things are there.
