• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Two things on Sen. Chute’s Statement on the functionality of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the fight against corruption in counties. I request further that the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAC) to include all counties in order to give us the status on the fight against corruption. Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen the Statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on the issue of the withdrawal of security bodyguards of the Azimio Members of Parliament (MPs). I agree that when you ... view
• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we want the Committee to go further upon your directions. In summary, I agree that any person who participates in an illegal demonstration should not be allowed even an inch of a bodyguard. It would be unfair to allow somebody to go to demonstrations then give them the police officers. The same police officers will shoot at each other. view

• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to commend Sen. Cheptumo for bringing this Motion on the issue of the integration of ethnic minorities and marginalised communities in Kenya noting that minority groups and ethnic communities have been recognised under Article 56 of the Constitution- “The State shall put in place affirmative action programmes designed to ensure that minorities and marginalized groups– (a) participate and are represented in governance and other spheres of life;” It takes the attention of the House and Sen. Cheptumo, the Mover of the Motion, to know that in the history of Parliament, especially the ... view
• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Even in Nandi County, we have two marginalised communities; the Talai and the Ogiek. The Ogiek predominantly live in Sergoit both in Nandi Hills and Tinderet Constituency.

• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: adopted then was to create affirmative appointments within the County Government of Nandi specifically for the Talai and Ogiek, to try and be in line with this. Unfortunately, the way the Nandi County Executive is constituted, there is no recognition of both the Ogiek and the Talai. Therefore, even as we call upon the national Government to do this, we must also encourage counties to follow suit. I do not know the formation of Bomet County, maybe when you have a chance to contribute to the Motion, you can share it with the House. I also do not know if ... view
• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Committee on County Public Accounts, to appoint people from minority communities to serve in the county government. This is in complying with the law. We propose that marginalised communities should even have special opportunities and attention during hiring. We should escalate this to the ongoing recruitment in the Kenya Army, hiring in the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Kenya Police, among other opportunities by national Government. Normally, they argue that people from marginalised communities, Persons with Disabilities (PwD) and minorities are encouraged to apply. However, when it comes to the actual hiring, they do not do it. Article 56(c) ... view
