• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, cancer is a big problem in this country. It is claiming many of our people. It is a high time that all the people concerned did something about it. I recently read an article, which states that if cancer is discovered in the early stages, it can easily be treated. Public awareness must be taken seriously to create awareness on the early symptoms of cancer, so that it can easily be addressed. I pass my condolences to the family of our departed colleague who was development conscious and friendly to everyone. I interacted with him closely when ... view

• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is a very important Statement that touches on Bomet County. When the matter came up in Bomet County, it was very emotive. It is very unfortunate that we all tried to pursue the rights of those children who were abused sexually. This is a man who came to Bomet County in disguise of a missionary. He built a very beautiful and big children‟s home especially for the orphaned children. It attracted so many children from our society especially the needy ones. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, this man with his wife, started abusing these children ... view

• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution concerning this important Petition from Kajiado County. This is not unique to Kajiado. Issues of promotion and matters of recruitment have become a big problem in the country. I remember that there were a lot of complaints in Bomet County. This is because teachers who graduated as late as 2013 got promoted, yet those who graduated many years ago, for example, 12 or 13 years, have not been promoted despite the fact that their performance is good in class. This has demoralized teachers in most places. ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Therefore, I urge the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, whom I am sure will act with a lot of diligence, to make sure that these particular irregularities, which are demoralizing teachers, are brought to book and streamlined. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this chance to add my voice on this. I do not know whether it is by coincidence, but just some few minutes before Sen. Olekina stood to raise this matter, an orphan who had gone to make an attempt to be recruited in Bomet has sent me an SMS that that, they wanted Kshs400,000 for him to be recruited. It is so bad that this particular vice is getting into our military, particularly during recruitment. Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless this is arrested with immediate effect, we will end up getting the ... view

• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order. I would like to request that because it is a very serious matter, that, in fact, I have been cooling down the residents, they would have really demonstrated. I have been telling them to allow me to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
