Please, protect me from Sen. Karen Nyamu. I did not see her in Ndumberi where many songs were being sung. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that was on a light note, and I believe Sen. Asige agrees that.

I wish to thank Sen. Crystal Asige and wish her well as I encourage people like Sen. M. Kajwang’ to pursue their thinking. As I support this Bill, over the weekend, I saw Sen. Ledama Olekina saying that there is an intention to connect most of the Northern Frontier counties,f and it is a privilege that you are sitting as the Speaker today. Counties like Mandera, Wajir and Garissa should be connected to the national grid of Kenya Power. That is significant. I thank Sen. Ledama Olekina who is our Minority Whip. We support this because we want access to ...

of people living with disability; that at least 5 percent of the members of the public in elective and appointive bodies are persons with disabilities. This is provided and is an affirmative direction for both elective and appointive. I therefore encourage Sen. Crystal Asige that next time, she should give us a status implementation report of the appointive of the 5 per cent within the national and county governments so that we do not only talk about elective because the Constitution is very subjective. It is not only elective or appointive. We would like to know if appointive positions meet ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, why are you allowing Sen. Sifuna to harass me? All Members are omnipresent in the House. You do not ask where they are. They are serving this nation in different issues. As I was saying, the Vice-Chairperson of the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is a person living with disability, or in other words, differently-abled. I am happy with Sen. Crystal Asige. We used to sit together in the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I do not know what happened and I was moved from that Committee. I would like ...

In conclusion, I would like to say that the young people also have a chance. You saw the explosion of the Gen Z protests the other day. This is because they feel unrepresented. Most of the young people feel that they are not represented. However, I would like to challenge them to also run for these positions. You cannot be saying we are not represented when we have not tried. Some of us came here fairly young, but we dared to try. So, I challenge the young people, wherever they are, that it is not enough to just say we ...

messages and so many phone calls. There is a data privacy breach that no one is addressing. They are ‘ salamiering’ me. By the way, I would like to report to the House that, even the email of the Senate is approaching half a million emails that reacted to my Bill. Kenyans are at 60-40. As of now, 60 per cent of Kenyans are supporting my Bill, while 40 per cent are opposing, in SMSs, WhatsApp, Facebook and X account. So, I agree with Sen. Crystal that the issue of data privacy should be protected. Why would the police know ...
