• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this chance to support this Statement. Yesterday, I was shocked when I saw how four pupils who were coming from school were killed by torrents of rain and floods in Wajir County. It is also interesting that since four months ago, the Meteorological Department has been talking about heavy rains ahead of us. Despite that warning, disaster preparedness in this country has never worked. We have been talking here for almost three months about disaster preparedness and management in this country. Beginning next week, our pupils in primary schools will be ... view

• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. As the Chairperson of Committee on Education, I want to say that this Statement is very important and we are looking forward to this. When we were in Kitui, we visited one of the schools for children who could hardly hear, whereas, some were completely deaf.

The effect of that particular delay on that school was that these children did not have a personal helper. Each child with disability is supposed to be attended ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these particular delays have affected most of the schools and I am wondering why a special needs school should be subjected to delays in receiving capitation as they end up experiencing such problems. I want to say as the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, that we are going to make sure that we take this particular issue seriously. We will ask the Ministry concerned to explain and even visit some schools so that we can get a proper report. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: I have realized that sometimes the report we get from the Ministry is not good enough. Yesterday we visited Kiambu Institute of Technology and we realized that the Institute is suffering so much. Most of the land has been taken by cartels who subdivided it at night, yet we are taking the matter lightly. Those are the things that the Ministry had not given us. I promise that on the strength of this Statement, we shall also make sure that we visit some institutions so that we may give to this House a proper report that will enable the Ministry ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: I want to promise Sen. Mwaura, that we shall take action and make sure that we visit the institutions, including the ones you have mentioned. view

• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this very important Motion by Sen. Nyamunga. Mr. Speaker, Sir, engagement of primary community health workers to support health issues in our communities is very important. As Sen. Poghisio said, this had been started by health workers in some of the communities where we grew up during the colonial period. This was done by training some people on matters to do with maternal healthcare, preventive skills and so on. During our time, many of the mothers were assisted to deliver in the villages so ... view
