• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for adding me a few more minutes. There are many countries that are doing a lot of infrastructural work in our country. I expected the national Government to negotiate with them to also buy our farm products. We also need to encourage our counties to establish value addition processes, so that farmers do not only rely on raw materials, but also on other by-products from milk. The national Government should also regulate importation of milk and milk products from our neighbouring countries. That way, our farmers will benefit from farming. With all the experience of ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this important Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. Adaptive sports or what is normally known as Paralympic sports is an area that has been ignored more often than not by various institutions. I was assessing the current training for teachers and it is interesting that adaptive sports have not been developed well for people with disabilities. It is an interesting ignorance on our side and this area must be developed well for us to support our brothers and sisters who have different disabilities. Sports is important and it cannot ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: When I was a lecturer in Moi University, I remember somebody asked how many professors of Moi University had huge buildings in Eldoret Town. The buildings we see in Eldoret and Kapsabet towns belong to sportsmen and sportswomen. They are doing well economically. If we engage these people and develop their talents, they will earn a living through this particular domain in life. Sports also develops emotional balance. Human beings always develop their emotional abilities when they engage in various sports. According to various researches in psychology, the approach to issues of people who are active in sports is different. ... view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, sports is a devolved function. However, interestingly enough, if you go round our various counties, you will realise that the PWDs are neglected and ignored by various county governments. We were shocked when we visited one of the polytechnics in Kitui County. The steps to the classrooms were so high that it was a challenge even to us. How about the PWDs? Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve should request the Committee on Education to go to various counties and assess the challenges that PWDs face in the line of education. She can also engage another relevant committee, so that ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.34(1), I seek leave to move that the House adjourns to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the disaster in West Pokot County, occasioned by the landslide that has claimed over 50 lives following days of heavy rains in this country. view

• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this important Motion by Sen. M. Kajwang’. It is important that we do thorough oversight of our counties. There are many messes in our counties, but I do not know if it is out of ignorance or whether it is done deliberately. Governors are ignorant when it comes to giving accounts of what is happening in the counties. We read the audit reports that we normally receive. I am surprised that in most cases, they are being asked to have internal auditors because they do not ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: accounts. What is happening in our counties is interesting and I would like Members of the Senate to know that terrible things are happening. There is a county that constructed one ECDE classroom at a cost of Kshs1.5 million yet MPs construct classrooms at a cost of Kshs500,000. In fact, today I had a discussion with the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly. He told me that he has never constructed a completely finished classroom with ceiling boards and tiles for more than Kshs700,000. If you go to our counties, you will find that costs are exaggerated. It is hyperbole ... view
