• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. Sir. From the onset, I want to congratulate my committee colleague the specially elected Sen. Beatrice Ogola from Homa Bay Delegation. It is rare to see commandeering between delegations like Sen. M. Kajwang’ and Sen. Beatrice Ogola. However, anybody who would not want to be friendly with Senator Beatrice--- view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: No. It depends--- view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to remain relevant to the debate of the House. I do not know why Sen. Eddy Oketch is excited, anyway, he is normally excited when I am speaking. However, I am impressed by the relationship that they have, a professional relationship; it is rare. I have seen some delegations here fighting. Even your former Senator, there were so many letters that were flying around just to allow to vote and I know Sen. M. Kajwang understands what we went through in the last session. Sen. Beatrice Ogola continues to distinguish herself as a ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: I want to put the record straight that anything that allows our society to flourish--- I see people saying it is important even for us men we need to be taken care of because under Article 26 life begins at conception. You also need a man who is well fed and well kept, so that you get quality seeds. view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: You get the quality at the conception because also you do not want to have men who are shooting blanks. We want men who are shooting “live bullets” because I have heard some women Senators saying here that men do not care about women. We care, but how will you get pregnant without men who can shoot “live bullets” and ensure that you get pregnant? The other day we fired our chairperson who was Mr. Stephen Letoo. We have given chairman Hon. Oparanya, the former governor to be the chairperson of the men's conference, so that some of these issues ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Constitution on the rights of children. For example, parental care, right to naming, rights to basic compulsory free education, right to basic nutrition, shelter and healthcare, protection from abuse, neglect, and harmful cultural practices. Therefore, children should be protected from abusive cultures. In this country, we still have cultures and communities that practice Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which still poses a big challenge in the emancipation and freedom of the girl child in this republic. We still have communities where young girls less than 10 years old are offered for matchmaking and marriage. I know this is dominant in other ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: and it is a common song. In translation, it states that “a child has imprinted a tattoo” and that is what they mean by saying “kichoran tattoo lakwet”. Therefore, some of those things are allowed under the law. It could be culturally accepted to imprint a mark on a child's body. However, it is wrong because there is no consent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have practised law longer than some of us and consent can only be given by a person who has attained the age of 18 years. Therefore, what should we do? I know there is guardian ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: I agree with the issue of early detection of pregnancy for women. I heard a Senator say that she does not know if she is pregnant or not. Unfortunately, she left the Chamber. Besides, I agree that we must detect the pregnancy early. Some of the ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages sometimes happen because maybe the woman does not know that she is pregnant. The antenatal care clinics need to be there to facilitate the detection of such issues. On the issue of preparation class, I do not know how relevant this is. I do not know whether it is in ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: children for immunization. In Kitui, there was a sect that would not agree their children to be immunized. What do you do about it? There have been allegations on the issue of immunization even through the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). There were allegations that the immunization process was a way of controlling the birth rate in Africa. Apart from the resistance from some communities, we also need to alleviate the fears that immunization is a way of changing the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) character of Africans or to control the birth rate. Therefore, on this issue of immunization, ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: who because of one thing or another, have lost their parents. They have become orphans overnight. We also need to ensure they are captured. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I assure the women of this country that men are “he for she” and “she for he”, because without women and men, we are not there. We must exist through symbiotic relationship because God has put us together. In fact, I encourage Sen. Ogola to look for a man to co-sponsor the Bill when she takes this Bill to National Assembly so that we own it together. These children belong to all ... view
