• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope your office will facilitate my temporary status until I fully recover. This is the life that is breathed into Article 54 of the Constitution. I want to bring up another point, I know my colleagues have talked about devolving the training of people with special needs. I am proposing that the national Government gives tax-free for all assistive devices, hearing aids, and any process and even the things that are being used by schools for the deaf in this country should be given tax-free. I know that there is registration of the Inua ---sorry. I ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: As a country, we need to change our attitude; we should not allow our PWDs including the deaf to be at the mercy of charity organisations or people who just feel sympathy for them. The fourth point that I wanted to make on this Bill, and the objects have been well captured, of course, is the issue of tax-free. The issue of stigma; as my colleague has put it across, sometimes, you get such challenges through an accident or as my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said advanced age while others are born with it. To ensure we do not ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) is recruiting new teachers to fill in the gap across the country. We call upon them to ensure that they at least hire a number of interpreters in our schools so that our children get the opportunity. I pray that one day you will walk to a classroom in Starehe Boys Centre or Buruburu Girls, and see a hearing-impaired student sitting in the classroom because there is an interpreter that has been hired by TSC. Mr. Speaker, Sir, over the weekend, I was in Kericho, Ainamoi Constituency where we were burying the ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: I want to warn the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). I have seen some books that define a family as a man, woman and children. They also define a man with children and a woman with children which are single families. However, they go ahead and put a man and a man and children. Additionally, they go ahead and put a woman and a woman and children and vice-versa. We should not allow KICD to bring bad manners into our society. I want to paraphrase what President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni said. The day a man and a man will ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know why the Senator for Mombasa County is heckling. I know he has missed maandamano and hopes that what happens in Bomas collapses. Let us legislate ourselves into the work that we gave ourselves. I know the Senate Minority Leader and Sen. Faki were present there. We do not need to force you to march every day although I know you are physically fit. We had to march from the Senate gate all the way to Milimani law courts because we were fighting over what we should be doing. I know at that time ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion and I will make two observations. As a country, we should not be cowards fearing terror. The issue of terrorism is cross-cutting as well as a global one and Kenya is part of it. I agree that it is no longer tenable for our troops to be 260 kms in Somalia. They should come and be along the border. We also need to do an audit because the last regime alleged to have built a wall between Kenya and Somalia. Those are the questions we should be asking how far that ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: leadership of that area must be honest and cooperate with the Government so that we fight terror to the deserving level. Thirdly, I heard the Senate Minority Leader alluding that there is a disjointed Cabinet. There is no such thing. Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki has been in Lamu a number of times and yesterday, he was in Northern Kenya as well. He has worked to ensure that there is homeland security. The Defence Cabinet Minister as well. I confirm that the country is safe. While we empathise and sympathize with the Kenyans that have lost their lives, the Government is ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: It is in the HANSARD. view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment Bill. The issue of climate change continues to be a big challenge. I thank the President for being the champion. The second champion in this Republic is the former Prime Minister, then all of us. In the future, the laws that come from the National Assembly under Article 96 of the Constitution must ensure that there is a place and time for devolution. I have seen that counties have just been mentioned in passing. If you want to improve on the Own Source Revenue through carbon credits, then in the ... view
• 29 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he must apologise! view
