• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: to it. The Governor or any other person that is required should respect the Senate and allow us to do our work efficiently There are so many people – and I will not name them – who have been invited by Committees and have declined, yet the issues that we discuss will help them to discharge their mandate as a Ministry or county government. I hope that we will be able to dispense with this matter and ensure--- I want to thank Sen. Kang’ata because he has appreciated that he is becoming a good man, but we are also happy ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the onset, I want to congratulate the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Sen. (Dr.) Langat, the Senator of the great County of Bomet. This is long overdue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: One of the key functions that forms the basis of our lives and that of our children is basic education and this is there in Article 53(b) of the Constitution. Apart from the right to nationality, name and recognition and family, one of the key aspects is the right to basic education. Article 53 has been well captured and it has been given some breadth of life by the County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bills No. 26 of 2018). I know that most counties have enacted, in their own way at county assemblies, various legislations that regulate how ECD’s ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 4 is very important, and I had seen Sen. Kang’ata, because it is the right to free and compulsory basic education---. Under the Bill of Rights, this is very key because it is the basic. I know some of the Senators have closed the business of siring children, but those people who are still siring like yours truly, should be very conversant with the law. Sen. Kang’ata is here and he was blessed the other day when he solemnized his marriage in church. I know he is in the process of baby making. So, we ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: On the aspect of public participation, if there is anything that is a blessing in this Constitution, it is public participation, where the public is given priority based on need assessment. Even as we discuss about the Public Participation Bill, which is before this House and come up with how it should be conducted, this is very key. I hope it will be The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: implemented because when you look at Article 10 of the Constitution on national values and principles of good governance, it is very critical in implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies. I know parents and guardians will have an opportunity to do that. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 4(c) speaks on the holistic approach towards meeting education and other development needs. I think Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and most Senators have canvassed that our children need to grow up in a less toxic environment. When we say holistic, it means that apart from ensuring that they develop mentally, they should also develop in terms of capacity of understanding, knowledge and ability. That is what this Bill is trying to bring out. Where I come from, we used to wonder why my brothers from the region Sen. M. Kajwang’ represents were brilliant than all of ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: The recognition of parents and family of the child as the primary caregivers is important. It is so sad in this country when you walk around, you will find children that have been abandoned, and are doing child enslavement. Yours truly will be part of the process on enactment with my Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, on the issue of servitude or modern slavery. You find the biggest victims of modern slavery are young children. It means that the primary caregivers; that is, the parents and guardians, have abandoned their responsibility. The school holidays are on now, ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: When we were growing up, where I come from in my small village called Kapkeben in Mosoriot, Nandi County, if you messed up while herding cattle, anybody could beat you up. This meant that it was a communal issue and role to ensure that children grow up as mature, disciplined and responsible persons. If we, as parents and guardians could take care of our roles as parents, we could have less of early childhood pregnancies. If you visit our prisons, you will find juveniles who have been convicted because of crime. We need them to be more responsible citizens. In ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: I agree that the recognition of parents is very key in ensuring that interventions are based on objective information and methods that monitoring mechanisms and regular evaluations are established, thus ensuring transparency in public management, social ethics and taking into account the needs of the population. Social audit is a very key word there even in issues of learning. Apart from the audit that we normally do in the traditional way, social audit is key. We have had instances where parents complain that money has not been properly utilized in these ECDs. view
