• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, some technical issues have come up. From Sen. Omogeni’s Report, there are mix up of certain clauses. The Senate has to find a way to identify these areas. For example, in Clause 13(b), Clause 3 does not exist and the clause referred to is Clause 2 which is from the National Assembly. At the same time also from the Senate draft, we are referring to Clause 87(7), whereas it should be 89(7). These are basic issues that need to be ironed out. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: I also think from Sen. Sakaja’s input, the substantive issues need to be taken into consideration and left in place across the board because they are critical. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Over time, a moment like this has been awaited in this country. This moment has come for us. It is good that we are having these discussions and are able to put both the pros and cons. However, at the end of the day, we should not lose the motion and direction for the amendments being made in this Bill. That way, we will address the issues that need to be addressed. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. The two processes are not mutually exclusive. We can do both like we did during the revenue allocation process; it is just a presentation. We can then have a little more time to go through the Report, but we will know what is where. We would have had a bit of insight. The Committee is privileged to be more informed about this Report. Some of us are meeting it for the first or second time. Therefore, I think these two events are not mutually exclusive. We can have both of them; one ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support Sen. Khaniri for this Statement. He continuously bring Statements on issues that touch on his county and so he is representing his county well. As he does that, he is also representing many other counties. There is no county that is not suffering from consistent power black outs, which are sometimes without notice. This also goes to industries. This Committee should also investigate for every one hour of lack of power, what does it translate in terms of industrial loss and how much money are we losing? This is what some of the ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: the places that will not have power but what do we do with that because we still need power? This Committee should begin to look at alternative means of energy. I know that there was a lot of talk about solar and windmill energy from the Committee on Energy. How far has the Committee gone on engaging with stakeholders to find how we can look for these other alternative sources of energy through other means? This will be very important. Despite all that, you find the people have to pay very high power bills. There are a lot of disappointments ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Statement. It has come at an appropriate time after we have gone through the COVID-19 pandemic putting in mind that our social systems, for example, medical, family or cultural have not supported issues of mental health. Most people with mental health issues are left to their own devices. Recently, the issue of mental health is being addressed more. Our own Sen. Kasanga has come up with a Bill and she is a champion in this area. We all support her, as Senators. The World Health Organisation (WHO) plans and roadmap ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support this very important Statement especially that deals with gender imbalance that is created The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: through the subjects that we take at various levels be it primary or secondary and encouraging more students to be more involved in STEM. The data shows that involvement in this sort of background increases certain skills such as problem solving, creativity, critical analysis, team work, independent thinking, initiative communication and digital. In fact, more occupations that are growing are from STEM at almost 17 per cent while other growth is taking place at 9.8 per cent. Therefore, this immediately equates to increased income. This training for girls is important because it will increase their science literacy and enable the ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Asante, Bw. Spika. Kwanza ningependa kushukuru kwamba sasa katika Seneti tunampangilio wa orodha ambao umeandikwa kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Nafikiri vile ambavyo tunaendelea na Kanuni za Kudumu za Seneti, pia tutaendelea kutumia Kiswahili zaidi tukizungumza katika Seneti. Kwa wakaaji wa Kilifi, kwanza ni kusema pole na kumshukuru Sen. Madzayo kwa kuleta mambo haya, ili Seneti ijue ya kwamba katika eneo la Bamba, mwanamke ambaye ni mfanya biashara, ambaye anafanya kazi yake wakati huu ambao pia biashara ni duni ameng’ang’ana na amepigwa, na bidhaa zake kuchukuliwa. Mali yake imechukuliwa na haijarejeshwa kwake. Hili ni jambo la kutatanisha sana. Nafikiri yale maombi ... view
