• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: and participate on social media pages, but they do not realize that they are being taken advantage of. We should try to avoid glorifying some of these issues on social media. I have seen social policing by Ezekiel Mutua. He has been complaining about the watershed period in the media. This is when we need the media to assist us. I am happy that the Cabinet Secretary for Education noted that the issue of early teenage pregnancies has come down this year when we were concluding the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams. However, that is not the real ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: subjected to emotional trauma. I hope that Sen. Kwamboka will take the lead in the conversation on how to come up with a legal regime on reproductive health in this country. Women are usually the most affected people when it comes to reproductive health. The women suffering in the villages are the most affected. We need to have a conversation on the issue of contraceptives. Women can do anything that they want. The census results have shown that they are more than men by more than a million. They need to take the lead in this conversation for us to ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Developed countries have a register of people who have been accused of being paedophiles or people who have a history of abusing and misusing children and we should also have such a register. How sure are we that the person who wants to manage a childcare centre has not abused or misused children in the past? Those are some of the issues that we need to factor before giving out the licences. We should even involve the National Intelligence Service (NIS). We should have a report about those people because those children are the future of this country. Yesterday, the ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: On miscellaneous provisions, I think that Sen. Kwamboka was very lenient. When one defiles someone, they can be sentenced to life imprisonment and the bond application cost is very high. The same should apply for this case. In my opinion, Kshs3 million or two years imprisonment is a bit low. We should enhance it to around Kshs10 million and 15 to 20 years. One should be punished if they fail in their responsibility of managing a childcare centre by allowing misuse of girls or by failing to perform as expected by law. People who have been given the responsibility of ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation on the issue of re-introduction of new speed governors for public transport vehicles. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is forcing Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) to change their speed governors after every two (2) years; (2) Explain the justification by NTSA of introducing new features on speed governors; (3) Explain why the Authority has not inspected the existing speed governors before advising PSVs to buy ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of intervention, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I understand the frustration of the Chair, because I also Chair a Committee. What I was proposing, if it is acceptable by--- view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you protect me from the Senate Majority Leader and my colleagues, who are consulting loudly? view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish that the House leadership would consult in low tones. I know that there is a serious matter that is coming up. But be it as it may, the intervention was that, as the Chair of a Committee, I understand what the Chairman of the Committee on Roads and Transportation is going through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose that in the future on serious issues of importance, for example, on the issue of matatu speed governors in the country, you would request that the Committee invites the Committee of the Whole of the Senate, the way ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion that has been brought to the House. From the outset, the country’s economy is not doing very well. I want to go into history and discourage Kenyans and the Government from this treacherous, slippery trend of borrowing in an insatiable way. As my colleagues have said, as at June 2019, our public debt was standing at Kshs5.81 trillion. Many people have alluded to the fact that the World Bank had said that developing counties should not borrow more than 40 per cent against their GDP. I ... view
