• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to rise in support of this Petition. We must thank ourselves as Kenyans for having passed such a progressive Constitution in 2010, which gives Kenyans a right to Petition us on an important issue such as the one that has been presented before us this afternoon. It is a good connection between the work we do as parliamentarians and Kenyans who believe in us. Kenyans can approach us through a Petition as provided for in Article 119 of the Constitution for us to intervene. view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: I thank this Kenyan. I do not know whether she is a lawyer or been a victim of having a stillbirth. However, the fact that she has read the Employment Act and picked the gaps there and chose to Petition us, we should not let this pass. I hope that the Committee tasked to look into this Petition will consider bringing amendments to the Employment Act, so that this matter can be addressed. view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Some of us have relatives who have gone through stillbirths. About six years ago, my cousin experienced a stillbirth. I remember how traumatizing it was. The sad part was that despite the fact that many people came to condole her and say pole, she was required to go back to work immediately. Despite the fact that she had carried the pregnancy for a period of eight months, she was expected to go back to work. It is a matter that we have never picked out as legislators, but we must thank this Kenyan who has taken time to read the ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion which proposes that Senators should sit in the SBC. I have looked at the names that have been proposed and I have no doubt that these are Members who can ably serve this House as we gear towards the end of our term. The concerns raised by Sen. Khaniri may be credible, but because these Members have served as well, I think it is good that we proceed and approve them, so that they can embark on the serious business that is awaiting us as we gear towards the end of ... view

• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are loud consultations on my right. view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before that interruption, I was joining you and other Senators in wishing other Senators a happy and very successful 2022. I want to agree with the sentiments that have been expressed by the Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo, and also the point that was raised by the Senator for Elgeyo- Marakwet County, Sen. Murkomen. We should show Kenyans that we respect the supremacy of the Constitution and that we will give Kenyans a humble opportunity to engage with the Senate in qualitative and meaningful public participation. I want to assure the Senate that the Committee that ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: So let us do the right thing. Let us not proceed in haste. Let us give those who support this Bill an opportunity to appear before us and say why they support it. Those who oppose it should also get an opportunity to appear before us and present their views. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, a decision on whether to pass or not to pass this Bill should be made on the Floor of this House. I have no doubt that this Senate will continue with the tradition that I have seen for the four years that I have been here, ... view
