• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I commend my neighbour, Sen. Khaniri for bringing this Statement. In July, 2018, or thereabouts, I asked a similar Statement on the issue of birth certificates in the country and also in Nandi County. Consequently, the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, my good friend, and the Senator of the great people of Nairobi City County, Sen. Sakaja, famously known as “Super Senator,” brought back a Statement that still shocks me to date. The answer that was given by the Committee was wishy-washy and it did not address the same ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that as the Chairperson of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, he faces a lot of challenges, because security is key in the running of the national Government. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Acting Chair of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, Sen. Sakaja, has been discharging the duties of the Committee with distinction. Maybe that is a sign of good things to come in the near future; but we are not looking into the future without the Chair of the Committee, who is Sen. Haji. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Sen. Sakaja brought the Statement, I was out on parliamentary duties. There were allegations of corruption in Kapsabet and Nandi Hills registries, and the answer by Sen. Sakaja was that it was not true, yet they did not even find time to investigate further. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue raised by Sen. Khaniri about birth certificates is a challenge that faces every Kenyan from Mombasa, Busia, northern Kenya and everywhere, including in Nandi. There are more than 17,000 children in Nandi who might miss to register for national examinations because of lack of birth certificates. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir yesterday, in the Cabinet meeting led by Dr. Fred Matiang’i, he said that the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) will sort out the problem of birth certificates, and that the Huduma Number will be a one stop shop. Many Kenyans have a challenge when it comes to acquiring birth certificates. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Sen. Madzayo is agitated. I am just putting to the public domain what the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government said yesterday. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Sen. Sakaja is here. I request the Committee to assist by providing a framework to ensure that every Kenyan can access birth certificates as a right, and not as a privilege. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a problem with issuance of birth certificate in the Kapsabet and Nandi Hills registries. However, when you pay Kshs1,000 or Kshs2,000, your birth certificate miraculously appears. One of the proposals that we are looking forward to is that village elders and assistant chiefs should be given powers to ensure that birth certificates are provided everywhere in this country. I thank Sen. Khaniri for this ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join in welcoming the students who have had the opportunity to be here. There is also a school from Nandi, Sang’aro Central Academy, that has just joined us. However, I know that you will communicate from the Chair about it. Therefore, I want to confirm to Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that my school is also already here. With that, let me seek my statement. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Sen. M. Kajwang’, come to the dispatch box. You cannot be holding the microphone! view
