• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: I have heard him allude to Article 255 of the Constitution on the issue of amendments to this Constitution. Under the Constitution, there is either parliamentary or popular initiative. Article 255(1)(f) talks about the term of the Office of the President as one of the two Article 257 on popular initiative. So, the question should be, what should happen? Should we do a referendum with an election? I pray to God that Sen. M. Kajwang’ can be around and be in Opposition to ensure they bring the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) version II in 2023. With that, we can see ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. M. Kajwang’ has picked my mind. When you look at Article 119 of the Constitution, it states “Every Person”. Under Standing Order Nos. 225 to 229 there is a part that we need to play. The Standing Order No.226 (3) states- “The Clerk shall, within seven days of the date of receipt of a petition, review the petition to ascertain whether the petition meets the requirements of these Standing Orders and of the law.” Technically, we have a leeway. In as much as Article 119 states that every Kenyan has power or every ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Assembly was also seized of the matter. A number of people working within the secretarial section, staff in hospitals and casual labourers who had worked till the month of November and had not been paid for eight months. I remember a Committee of this House ensured - even cleaners that had not been paid by Nandi county government - that the Nandi County Assembly also seized the Petition. There is a huge challenge where there is mismanagement of our human resource within the county governments. We are aware that most of the county governments have gone beyond the threshold of ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Inua Jamii Programme is mainly for the vulnerable in the society including the old. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to request for a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the management of the Inua Jamii Programme and funds by the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the rationale for shifting the processing of cash disbursements for the view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Programme from the Postal Corporation of Kenya (POSTA) to Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), noting that majority of the beneficiaries reside in the rural and far flung areas, where POSTA enjoys a wider presence than KCB. (2) Shed light on the alleged mismanagement and irregularities in the disbursement of funds perpetuated by the Ministry of Labour and officers of KCB with specific reference to July 2021 in the disbursement of Kshs8.7 billion to Inua Jamii Programme beneficiaries and Kshs26 million towards the nutrition improvement through cash and health education complementary programme, both of which were not received by the beneficiaries. (3) ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Kasanga because she has distinguished herself by becoming the champion of creating mental awareness. In the past, many people used to imagine that mental illness was because of sorcery or witchcraft or family DNA. During this period of COVID-19 pandemic, most people continue to suffer because of mental illness and depression. I am happy that the Ministry of Health has issued guidelines on mental health. I expect Sen. Kasanga to thank me because I am one of the people who pleaded when the National Assembly wanted the President to assent to 24 legislations ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. My mother is a distinguished teacher. She retired last year. In my culture, you do not say how many children there are. It is an abomination to say the number. However, three of my siblings are teachers. One of them is a principal somewhere in West Pokot. Others are teaching in Nandi and other parts of the country. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: I am very proud to be a son of a teacher. Teachers have done a tremendous job. They are opinion leaders in our villages. Apart from being educators and role models, they really assist us as opinion leaders. Every function you go to in the village, no matter how small or big, they are always assist our people to keep order even outside of teaching. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to admit that teachers are co-parents. Most of us parents have left our duties to teachers. Teachers are always there for children. They take care of them, especially in boarding schools. Therefore, teachers are very important people in our society. For us who believe in Christ, we know that Jesus was the greatest teacher of all. view
