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.

  • 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Clause 10 clearly stipulates the vending centres which need to be contained, well constructed and maintained especially if they are permanent features. I have also talked about semi-permanent structures that can also work well. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Clause 12 is key because it talks about how a person should not just be evicted especially if they have a licence. They must also be given a notice so that they are answerable. Part iv on registration and licensing of street vendors deals with all the issues of registration of street vendors and how they should go about it. The registration is the responsibility of the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member at the county level. This is an example of the devolved aspect of this particular Bill. I have heard Clause 20 which is about the handling of food ... view
  • 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Asante sana Bw. Spika wa Muda. Ningependa kumshukuru Sen. Faki kwa kuleta Hoja hii muhimu. Tangu janga hilo lilipotendeka, nchi nzima imeshtuka. Wengi wetu walishuhudia tukio hilo kupitia simu zetu za rununu. Mara kwa mara hatuna nafasi ya kushuhudia mtu akifa. Gari hilo lilielea juu ya maji kwa dakika kama ishiri hivi. Sitaki kufikiria mama yule na mtoto wake walikuwa wanafikira vipi wakati gari lao lilikuwa linaelea kwa maji. Nadhani walikuwa na imani mtu angewasaidia. Watu waliokuwa ndani ya ferry walipiga mayowe na kuomba. Wengine walijaribu kutafuta njia ya kuokoa waliokuwa kwenye gari ilipokuwa linaelea lakini wakakosa njia. Wapiga mbizi ... view
  • 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Authority na Kenya Coastal Guards ambao kazi yao ni kuhakisha kwamba kuna usalama majini wana ofisi zao karibu na pahali tukio hilo lilitokea lakini hawakusaidia. Tumekuwa tukizungumzia utovu wa usalama wa watu na magari ambayo hutumia ferry. Inamaanisha kwamba kuna jambo ambalo linabidi kufanywa lakini ikifika katika mambo ya usalama au kifo, tunaamini kwamba katika nyanja yoyote, lazima kuwe na wale waliojitayarisha kwamba jambo kama hili likitokea, wanaweza kujitokeza. Sen. Wetangula ametuhusisha juu ya waziri tofauti katika nchi ya India ambaye alijiuzulu wakati janga la gari la moshi lilipotea katika nchi yao. Waziri huyo alichukulia jambo hilo kuwa muhimu na ... view
  • 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: ambavyo usalama utadhibitishwa. Bila usalama, watoto na wanawake wanaovuka kivukio hicho wanaendelea kuwa na wasiwasi. Sio kitambo tulipokuwa na kisa cha Mtongwe. Baada ya visa kama hivi tunategemea kwamba tutaangalia na kuhakikisha jambo kama hili halitatokea tena. Kwa hivyo, ninamshukuru Sen. Faki kwa kuleta Hoja hii. Ni muhimu tuangalia swala hili na tulimalize kabisa mara moja ili tusiwe na nafasi ya kurejelea tena jambo kama hili. view
  • 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I will start by thanking all Senators who have contributed to this Bill, beginning with Sen. (Rev.) Waqo who seconded it, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and Sen. Sakaja, also known as the “Super Senator” whose Committee this Bill resides in. I am sure that during public participation, there were proposals that we should visit some of the homes as we continue to work on the Bill in order get the real issues on the ground and interact and see what is happening because that helps. When we were in Kitui, we went to ... view
  • 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: A lot of delegated legislation will be given to the county assemblies so that they customise their provisions depending on circumstances and situations to make the homes run as best as they can. Various concerns also came up when this Bill was being debated. For example, there is need to ensure that the penalty is harsh enough. In the Bill, a custodial penalty of Kshs1 million and/or two years imprisonment has been proposed. That is something to be considered in the Bill. view
  • 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: What came out clearly is the need for both levels of government and the children’s homes to take full responsibility. Earlier on, a Motion on street children, touching on the same specific issues was brought to this House. We know that a country is as good as its children. It is foolhardy to do a lot of work in ECDEs and leave out a large portion of children who can make a difference. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: The other day Sen. Omanga brought a Motion on young people with neurological and mental disorders. It belongs to this category. Unfortunately, most of those children are taken to children’s homes because sometimes when countries go through difficult socio-economic situations, the children become the first casualties of such circumstances. The first call of action is for us to enable families to take care of their children. view
  • 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
