• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the suggestion to submit an annual report to the Senate is a little ambiguous because counties are independent devolved units. Instead, the reports should be submitted to the various CECs in charge of sports within the counties whose responsibility should be to follow through. This will give a good opportunity to conceptualize how the Para Sports associations will look like. The membership of the associations has to be clear as to whether it is any person with a disability or specific type of disability. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Prince Harry from the royal family in the United Kingdom (UK) is very popular for his passion with Paralympics sports for soldiers who were wounded in a combat. That is a good way healing for the PWDs. Exercise is also good to keep our bodies healthy. It is import to jig your body from time to time by taking walk or any other type of exercise. I urge Senators to also exercise more often. I know many Senators will take part in the East African Community Inter-Parliamentary Games (EAC-IPG) that will take place in Uganda starting next week, but that ... view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has alluded that there are no facilities for the PWDs. In most developed countries, exercise equipment is available in parks for people to exercise. Any person, be they PWDs or not, can benefit from the available equipment. I wonder how many gyms are PWDs friendly. Are people making effort to provide gym equipment for the PWDs? view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: This Motion is focusing on creation of associations, but it is much broader than that. It seeks to address a constituent element of health. We are all aware that physical health leads to mental health. Sen. Kasanga recently brought a Bill on mental health to the House. Without proper mental health, we cannot have much development. Physical health leads to mental health. This is a big area. I dare say that it is an area that has been ignored for a very long time. In most sports races, you will find that there is only one race for PWDs. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we held the Standard Charted Marathon, I think you were there, some of the races had Paralympics and we had a race specifically for the PWDs on wheelchairs. Off they went very excited, happy and very engaged. A part from such chances, what other opportunities are there? view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Sometimes when we have sports events where we only have one race for PWDs, what happens when they are out there? What happens every morning when they need to exercise? This is a big conceptualization and a challenge. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, through a relevant Committee, can get together the stakeholders such as the County Executive Committee Members (CECs) from all the 47 counties and begin with a brainstorming session about what they are doing regarding PWDs, Para Sports in their counties and what facilities they have. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Like we did in the Eleventh Parliament, where we talked about each county having a university, this is another sort of must. I know that many counties were to do sports activities, but I highly doubt if many of them considered the PWDs to ensure that the sports facilities are made in such a way that they can benefit. If we think about it just as a sport or an activity, it is just that. However, when we think about other advantages of it, it takes a completely new turn. It is the same way we speak about the youth ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Exercise is important in helping our muscles to function and to clear our minds, thus making us more productive. Sports are very key even in interactions. We have the national organisation dealing with PWDs, but I have never heard of those that deal with a specific issue. This is a big area. Probably it is important to start having a discussion with the CECs to find out what equipment and facilities they have. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve should find out how to come up with an amendment and a mechanism to get to the CECs. We should also task ourselves, as ... view
