• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: I support. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I had raised my hand to intervene on a point of order before Sen. Sakaja. Is it in order for the Senate Majority Whip to say that there are only two parties in Kenya? I am the Chairperson for the Centre for Multiparty Democracy and I can report that the last count from the office of the Registrar of Parties, there were 87 political parties in Kenya. As much as not all the parties are represented in Parliament, we need to acknowledge that we have many political parties. Is Sen. Kang’ata ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am familiar with Multiple Sclerosis because I lost a good friend, Bashir, to it a few years ago. The petitioners are The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: right to say that the disease is not well understood. I am sure that most of us here might also be wondering what it is. It is unfortunate that we tend to neglect things that affect minority groups. Every life matters and I am glad that this issue has come to the fore. I hope that the Committee on Health will do justice to the Petition just as it did to the Petition presented by Sen. Sakaja. I am sure that Sen. Sakaja’s Petition has done a lot of justice to the children and we look forward to the action ... view

I already passed my condolences during the Committee meeting this morning. I knew Hon. Kyale Mwendwa personally. He was my neighbor in Riverside. The Office Park, where I am sure a lot of you go to, belongs to him. In my early years, I used to be his tenant; I used to have an office there. He would always come and walk there, up and down and I would have a small ... view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Statement by Sen. Shiyonga and to congratulate her for being able to stand up for somebody that perhaps did not have the ability or the power dynamics to speak for himself. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: Leadership is about respect. If the good professor and CS actually spoke those derogatory words and used such abusive language, then he is definitely out of order and must be called out. I am glad Sen. Shiyonga did just that. He must apologize. I do not know what level the person that was abused is. Maybe it is about time that education was devolved. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: The idea that a CS would run around this country going to every little classroom and corner, fight with very junior people and abuse them because he is more powerful, invincible or perhaps he is the supervisor, is really unacceptable. Why would a sitting CS go and start running in classrooms? I have seen the CS actually do that in very many little corners of this country. That is a recipe for conflict. If one goes to supervise such junior people perhaps you are bound to find some fault and then get angry. Some people are not very evolved to ... view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have to tread carefully because I am the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology. view
