Dr. Agnes Zani

From her childhood days, she recalls that any kind of injustice to anyone made her hair stand on end. At the university, Agnes occasionally acted as the chairperson of her department and started the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Alumni Programme, which she has been chairing since. When Kwale residents threatened to boycott the 2013 elections during the infamous “Pwani si Kenya” unrest, she took it upon herself to offer free civic education to her community. Education tops the former lecturer of University of Nairobi main agenda during her term of service.

  • 8 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a former parent of the School, I know that the School does a good job. I wish to also congratulate Dr. Okello for the work that she has done in education. She started this as a dream in Nairobi and it has now moved to Kisumu County. I hope that the school will open more branches across the country, so that people can begin and continue to reap from this. This is the Senate of Kenya. I believe that the students were briefed about what we do as they came into the House. We are happy ... view
  • 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Ahsante sana, Bw. Spika, kwa nafasi hii. Ningependa kuwaambia pole, wale ambao walipoteza wapendwa wao, haswa ile familia ambayo tuliona katika magazeti ambayo imepoteza watahiniwa wawili. Hili ni jambo la huzuni lakini sio jambo jipya. Ni jambo ambalo limezungumziwa mara nyingi lakini hakujakuwa na suluhu ambayo imeweza kupatikana ndio hizi ajali zisifanyike. Wengi wamezungumza juu ya sera ambayo ni muhimi, na sera zipo. Sera moja muhimu ambayo ilikuwa imewekwa ni kwamba; ni lazima basi ambalo linapeleka wanafunzi pahali fulani liendeshwe baina ya masaa fulani; halitakikani kuendeshwa usiku. Jambo la pili ni kwamba, dereva ambaye anaendesha hilo basi, ni lazima awe ... view

  • 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to go back to the procedure of moving that Bill. I thought that he needed to say that ‘I beg to move that this Bill be read a Second Time’. I think that is what is supposed to be said. Otherwise, we will not have read it a second time which is important. view
  • 19 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Statement on registration of schools. Yesterday in this House, we talked about the importance of registration of persons with disabilities. For any developmental policy to be implemented conclusively, there must be some understanding of the situation as it exists. How many students exist in these schools? What studies are they doing? What is happening within the schools? Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes back when I was a lecturer at the University of Nairobi, I went to supervise teaching practice. I was shocked at some of the schools where my students were practicing teaching. ... view
  • 19 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion and I congratulate Sen. Kasanga for bringing it. She has given us one of the biggest shockers this afternoon by informing us that only 5 per cent of roads are tarmacked. Looking at the statistics in the Motion, we are talking about 9,000 divided by 178,000. When I looked at the statistics, I thought I had gotten my mathematics wrong and I quickly crosschecked. You may have noticed that because she is my neighbour and she confirmed that we have only 5 per cent of roads tarmacked in Kenya, 50 ... view

  • 18 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand to support the amendment to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act. We have in the Constitution ten commissions that have been put into place and each is very important, starting with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and the Equality Commission that strives to ensure that there is equality of representation up to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) that serves within Parliaments, the JSC and the Public Service Commission (PSC) among others. Right now, we are talking about the SRC. As I sat here listening to my colleagues speak, ... view
