(Prof.) Margaret Kamar, EGH, MP; (2) Sen. Danson Buya Mungatana, MGH, MP; (3) Hon. Rahab Mukami Wachira, MP; (4) Hon. Joseph Kalasinga Majimbo, OGW, MP; and (5) Hon. Esther Muthoni Passaris, MP. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a fairly straightforward Motion, almost equal to a Procedural Motion. I ... view

• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: I can say similar things about Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. She is an outstanding legislator in this country and we know she is going to add value. I do not want to belabour this straightforward Motion. In the interest of bi-partisanship, I request my sister, Sen. Kibwana, to second. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Every time I sit in this House, I cannot help but be impressed. Ordinarily, in the many years that we have been in this Parliament, a Motion like this would usually attracts little or no interest. However, when you look at the contribution, the contributors and the mix, it is very exciting. The Motion has attracted 15 distinguished contributions from our Senators amongst whom, there are six contributions from our women Senators and one powerful contribution from the “VIP” - visually impaired Sen. Crystal Asige. I continue discouraging her from using the word VIP ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, climate change is so serious. As Sen. Kibwana has mentioned, the negative contribution to climate change by African countries is negligible. It is the First World countries who pollute the globe and they are busy planting trees. Brazil, Central Europe and Canada have the best forest cover. We should learn from those best practices. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I expect that going forward, the PAP should decree and pass a Motion, that the developed countries that contribute to the negative climate change, afford African women access to free cooking gas. That is the only entry point ... view

• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Secondly, I urge our colleagues to raise their voices in the PAP on the unacceptable state of conflict and war in the world, with special reference to the war in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is totally unacceptable. The PAP should lead the African governments in demanding for a faster settlement of that conflict. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: With those many remarks, I thank you and I beg move. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just like Sen. Onyonka, I have very good thoughts and words for Sen. Kibwana. I assume that this is her first Motion and I must say that she has chosen a good Motion. This is a practical issue. The level of poor mental health amongst pregnant mothers, mothers who are giving birth and those who have just given birth is devasting. They are many. Mental challenges arise because getting pregnant and being pregnant is very stressful and it is even more stressful when it is accompanied with abortion. The actual process of giving birth is equally ... view
