• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. I do not know what the debate is about because if lateness is what we are talking about, we are already late. We are already late. This House should conclude on what it is supposed to be doing today. The issue has been overtaken by events, and, therefore, let us continue. Do not run away because you are sensing defeat. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Petition by Sen. Mwangi regarding the IDPs. We are seeing a disturbing trend where the Government that is supposed to ensure respect and protection of citizen’s rights, is violating them. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: While we know that this happened many years ago, because it is now about 20 years, how long does it take for the few people we have---. We are being told that in Western Kenya, people have not been settled and that IDPs of the PEV of 2007/2008 are still on the streets. I think it is a shame for this House to preside over these kind of violations of the rights of our citizens while we are seated here. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Article 43 of the Constitution is clear. This country is also a signatory to many international laws and humanitarian norms. I do not know at what point the Constitution of Kenya will be upheld by the same people we are supposed to be protecting. Sen.

• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mwangi’s committee, which I used to serve in, should take this seriously and make sure that these violations are corrected because we have IDPs all over the country. We have political and humanitarian IDPs in this country. Where we come from, every time there are floods, locust invasions or insecurity, there are IDPs left, right and centre, even in our County of Isiolo. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to look at the whole issue of displacement of populations because it has a bearing on the services that we provide, security, and health indicators. We need to look at the IDPs, both political and non-political, in all parts of this country and ensure that those violations are remedied and the people that are supposed to protect them do the right thing. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: I support and thank you. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have two Statements on the Order Paper. I do not know if you will allow me to present them. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the provision of training opportunities for persons living with disabilities serving in the Public Service. In the Statement, the Committee should state- (1Whether persons in the Public Service living with disabilities are accorded equal opportunity to attend training or workshops, especially those that are held outside of their duty stations. (2) Whether there is a policy in place which caters for the welfare for them and provides them assistance or aids for the ... view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a second Statement. This Statement has been in the Order Paper for quite some time now and it regards automation of Land Registries and general land records in the country. Events have overtaken this Statement because I think there was a Petition to that effect. However, for purposes of emphasis on the need for this, I will just read through it because it will only take me two minutes.
