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.

  • 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Thank you, professor for that information and for highlighting the issue. My time is up and I beg to stop. view
  • 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is good that we are starting off with the Uwezo Fund, when we have had other funds that we can make reference to, and probably look at how they worked, where they worked and where they did not work. We should look what went wrong and try to avoid those specific pitfalls. It is always good to learn from what has happened before. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) and the Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF) did not work for various reasons. Some of the reasons were administrative in terms of ... view
  • 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me start by decrying the state of security or lack of it. We have discussed insecurity in this country in various fora. We have talked about it in the Senate and had various broader discussions with various other stakeholders. What is amazing is that the rate of crime is increasing in all areas, be it cattle rustling, murder, manslaughter or cyber crime. All sectors of crime seem to be increasing and we need to ask ourselves why this is happening, to begin with. I believe ... view
  • 26 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. May I start by congratulating Sen. Sang, not only for bringing this Bill, but for his bravery. If I am to refer to the newspaper, today’s Times, which talked about attempts that have been made to pull out this Bill; I think it was not just about bringing this Bill to the House, but by the way, he stood so steadfast. If he had not done that and taken people through the various moments that it went through; the various arguments, The electronic version of the ... view

  • 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I look at this Motion as a Motion that is publicizing something that is already being done. We already have a Firearms Act which is very specific. In fact, it goes into definitional issues where it states what are the firearms, what are the rifles, it talks about stun guns, it talks about a licensing officer and the requirements of those licensing officers, as the Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has already stipulated here. So, this is something that is already being done; it is already there. What I am trying to figure out exactly is what ... view
  • 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to clarify and say that even with the vetting that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is talking about, even with the information that is given, because according to the Act, the licensing officer will finally, through the other district committees, give the certificate--- But still, when talking about human beings, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the way you behave here is not the way you behave on Sunday, for example, when you go to Church. When you go to church on Sunday, you are humbled by the fact that this becomes a different person. What vetting ... view
