• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. As I do so, I inform this House how significant the Kenya Constitution, 2010 has transformed the functions of this House. If you recall, before the 2010 Constitution, the calendar of Parliament was being controlled and managed by the National Executive. However, today, Standing Order No. 32 says- “The Senate Business Committee shall, with the approval of the Senate, determine the calendar of the Senate”. It is not the Executive or the President, it is the Senate itself determining its calendar. That confirming the independence of the Senate, that we ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to thank the Cabinet Secretary. He is one of the Cabinet Secretaries who we cherish the work they are doing. We served with him in the National Assembly in the last Parliament. I think Members who served in Parliament make better Cabinet Secretaries. Baringo County has six constituencies. In five constituencies, teachers receive hardship allowances, except for Eldama Ravine Constituency. Even teachers in the neighbouring constituencies in Kericho and Uasin Gishu with the same climatic conditions receive hardship allowances. Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that Eldama Ravine Constituency has been discriminated upon? For ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank my Chair, Sen. Kavindu Muthama, for the Statement that she has read in the House. It is unfortunate that 25 years down the line, Kenyan victims of that unfortunate situation have not been compensated. I am a Member of the Committee. We have had several engagements with various stakeholders. The suffering I witnessed on Monday, when we had a prayer session with the victims is heart-breaking. Let me confirm to this House that as it has been said by the Chair, as a Committee, we will engage various stakeholders. We have the consortium of victims, ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Some are in school while others are still unemployed even after going through education. This situation is so serious that it is important that as a country, a Committee and a House, we rise to the occasion and push for the compensation. The cordial relationship between the Kenyan Government and that of the United States of America (USA) should be an avenue through which we can receive the goodwill necessary for the support. It is unfortunate that yesterday, I read in the news that the USA Government is saying that they have already done the compensation. You therefore wonder, who ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to also thank the Cabinet Secretary for being in the House for the last four hours. We appreciate your answers. view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Hon. Cabinet Secretary, Baringo County is facing security incidents in some sub- counties. As a result of that, those sub-counties end up not having enough teachers in their schools. I am talking about Baringo North, Baringo South and Tiaty Sub counties. Even when you now talk about employing the 20,000 teachers in addition to the 35,000 we employed the other day, we still have a problem because those teachers who are either posted or already employed there fear for their lives and sometimes feel like not working in those sub-counties. view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: This requires what I would call affirmative action. We have many teachers from Baringo in Turkana, Nakuru, North Eastern and other parts of the country. What affirmative action will the Cabinet Secretary put in place so that the teachers from Baringo who are willing, able and available to work in those insecure areas like in Baringo North, Baringo South and Tiaty are transferred there? You talk of having enough teachers, say, in Baringo, but there are about two, three and four schools which completely do not have teachers because of insecurity. That is the real challenge that we have in ... view
• 3 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to welcome the students and teachers from Juniomax Academy in Baringo County. This is a new school and one of the schools that is performing well. view
• 3 Aug 2023 in Senate: I welcome them to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. They have seen live debate here. If you work hard, be resilient and disciplined, it is possible that one day, you will be in Parliament to represent Baringo County as a Senator or as a Member of the National Assembly. We can be whatever we want to be if we work hard. view
