• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: We should not have new buildings constructed that do not respond to the special needs of PWD. That is what the Mover of the Bill is talking about. Even PWD and those with special needs have equal rights to access buildings and transportation and be taken care of when it comes to infrastructural development in every part of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, so that I do not take a lot of time, I thank Sen. Mungatana, MGH, for bringing up this Bill which I fully support. I thank you. view
• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairman, the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries where I sit. I asked to comment on this issue because it is true that Article 118 of the Constitution requires that Committees of Parliament conduct public participation in the process of handling Bills and legislation. The requirement there is directed to Parliament that those committees shall be facilitated to undertake public participation. As a House, we need to define that facilitation properly. This is because, in the process of dealing with one of those Bills, that Committee almost landed ... view

• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Therefore, let us define public participation for committees. When they go out to meet people for public participation, what kind of facilitation do we need to afford so that the image of the Senate is not dented? On the Report by the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, the Chairman has left, but let it go on record. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I still insist that this House is the anchor for devolution. If we do not get it right here, then we will not get it right anywhere else. I would have wanted to hear in that report - and ... view

• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to speak to two. One of them is on the welfare of street children. These children are Kenyans. First of all, it is the responsibility of the caregivers, either parents or guardians to take care of them because they are our future. In the event they are unable to do so, then that responsibility shifts to Government institutions that should take care of them and make sure that we do not have street families and children. They should give them dignity and hope in life. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, nonetheless, I want ... view
