• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the delegation headed by Betty Amongi who is also the Chairperson of the Uganda Women’s Parliamentary Association (UWOPA) in Uganda. On behalf of the women of Kenya, we have always appreciated all the capacity building programmes we have received across countries in terms of understanding how we could achieve affirmative action.

I think all of us understand why we are re-introducing the morning Sittings. Looking at the business that we have before we go for our long recess, we would appreciate, as an institution, if we could finish and forward it to the National Assembly. We are also facing another challenge regarding most of the Bills that ... view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank all Senators, especially chairpersons of Committees. While we appreciate that we have committees going on, we also have reports that are supposed to be tabled in this House coming from those committees. Therefore, I urge chairpersons to ensure that their reports are ready for tabling before this House. We were just trying to come in to ensure that all constitutional timelines and Bills are complied with before we go on recess. Since this is a House of consensus and can agree to even extend sittings in the evening when we feel it is ... view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. If you remember well before we went for the first recess, Sen. (Eng.)

• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Chairman and say that the reason why we have petitions coming to this House is because of lack of such documents. I hope those reports will help us unlock the unresolved cases that have been raised in the various petitions and the Statements that many of the Members have requested for. It is also very unfortunate that we have started a new financial year and looking at these audited accounts while we know that we should now be dealing with the next quarter audited accounts. For purposes of us managing and ... view

• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to Sen. Muthama, we are trying to look at a solution on how we shall get untrained teachers to ensure that normalcy returns in educational institutions in the north eastern part of Kenya.

Today, Kenyans may listen to him and forget what we are really trying to achieve. We are dealing with a specific issue. Is he in order to derail our line of thought? view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Mover of the Motion. This is a Motion that seeks to unlock the challenges that we are facing in the education sector in the north eastern part of Kenya. It is a Motion that is very emotional and we should not play around with it. It is not easy for us to convince our brothers and sisters from other regions to go back to north eastern and continue working because of fear. If we give them the strength through this Motion by recruiting untrained teachers, students in north eastern will ... view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, now that I should not talk about him, let me talk about the KNUT in general. The KNUT came out very well in both the electronic and print media. Having said that, today we are looking at finding a solution. I urge fellow brothers and sisters from north eastern who are well educated to come forward and assist their own brothers and sisters to ensure that they also perform well in their education. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very unique issue. It is an issue that as much as we want to come in ... view
