• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Again the issues around educational facilities, you and I come from northern Kenya where facilities do not exist. Infrastructure for education is almost nonexistent. Our children learn under trees. From where we sit as legislators, decision makers and policy makers – I hope that we will ensure that education infrastructure is put in place. That way, our children who are learning under trees in northern Kenya are able to compete. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Right now, we have examinations going on. Students doing experiments in biology, chemistry and using laboratories. I shudder to think what infrastructure exists, especially in the parts of the world that you and I, come from. We need to ensure that these resolutions see light of day so that our children are able to compete on level ground. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to go into the resolution on non- admissibility of using mercenaries and foreign fighters as a means of undermining peace, international security and territorial integrity of states without violating human rights. This is an ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Petition that has been brought to the House by Sen. Cherargei. Anything that touches on the most vulnerable does not see the light of day in our country, which is really sad. This group consists of people from the community health volunteers, to the community health workers, to what we used to call community health extension workers, to now even our clinical officers. We are seeing real disrespect and disregard for the people that carry the health sector on their backs. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) ... view

Pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Energy regarding electricity connectivity to Isiolo County, and specifically, on the stalled Kina- Mbarambate-Mbiliko Power Line Connectivity Project. In the Statement, linking to the fact that Isiolo is one of the pilot counties for most of our strategic initiatives in our country, including the Universal Health Care (UHC) and others, it is important that the Committee establishes the following: - (1) To explain why the Kina-Mbarambate-Mbiliko Power Line Connectivity Project has stalled for more than ... view

• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important and timely Bill, The Alternative Dispute Resolution Bill, brought by Sen. Kasanga. She has been bringing very innovative pieces of legislation to this House. I would like to congratulate her for the innovation that she is bringing to the legislative process, and for being very persistent in making sure that the rights of citizens are assured, through very innovative pieces of legislation. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would also like to thank her for creating awareness on this issue. I did not think about the fact that we could have an alternative methodology for dispute resolution. She has also taught us a lot of the key players in this, and a lot of new terminologies, from ‘conciliators’ to ‘mediation process.’ Some of us who are not in the alternative dispute resolution space have also learned a lot. This is very important, given the cost effectiveness and also the issues of access to justice. Many people who need disputes resolved are largely unable ... view
