• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my apologies. What I wanted to say is that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has made a very serious statement in the House. What Sen. Cleophas Malalah said is that in the BBI Report, there are issues in support of devolution. What I have been saying in whichever forum I have been addressing is that I hope the contents of issues of the BBI--- Sen. Cleophas Malala is insisting that in the Report there are issues, yet the President and even his party leader, whom we have chased from his bedroom in Kibra--- view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Cleophas Malala, through innuendos, to point fingers towards me as if I am in any way associated with issues of corruption? I am leading in terms of the fight against corruption as the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights? Could he withdraw? view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for this opportunity. From the onset, I want to congratulate Sen. Kwamboka for coming up with the Care and Protection of Child Parents Bill (Senate Bills No. 11 of 2019). Article 53 53(1) (a) to (d) of the Constitution tries to espouse on the rights of a child. It says- Every child has the right- (a) to a name and nationality from birth; (b) to free and compulsory basic education; (c) to basic nutrition, shelter and health care; (d) to be protected from abuse, neglect, harmful cultural practices, all forms of violence, inhuman treatment ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: country. People will fear to say this, but the fact is that we have over glorified sex and made it a commercial. We have made it transactional. With this social media craze, the rise of slay queens and slay kings has also led to young girls wanting to live flashy lives. That is where there the older men or sugar daddies and sponsors - as they are known in slang - want to take advantage. These girls want to make easy money. I think that Nairobi could be worst hit because they want to look nice. These people want to ... view
• 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
