• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, let me not take a lot of time on this. I therefore want to conclude by asking members of the public and stakeholders that once this process is opened up for Kenyans to give their views, please feel free to engage with the Senate, my Committee, present your views and you will be accorded an opportunity to be heard.

• 22 Dec 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. There is an issue that I want to bring to your attention. It is appearing in today’s Order Paper; Order No.16, The Lifestyle Audit Bill (Senate Bills No.36 of 2021). We have received public views on that Bill which is being considered by the Committee. We had drawn a calendar to retreat view

• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I join my colleagues in thanking the Senator for Nairobi City County for a job well done. As always, anytime work is sent to Senator Sakaja’s Committee he never disappoints. However, there are number of problems that the elderly people are facing under the Inua Jamii Programme. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: First, there are a number of eligible Kenyans who have not been taken on board this programme especially speaking for Nyamira County. What we expect to hear from the Cabinet Secreatry for Labour is that he should put in place mechanisms to ensure that everybody who is above 70 and who is not on pension becomes a beneficiary of this project. Otherwise, it is discrimination and a violation or Article 27 to have a few Kenyans benefitting whereas a number of them who are eligible are left out of the programme. Secondly, I hope that this Ministry can become digital. ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Otherwise, it is a big problem trying to ask the very elderly people, who are sickly, to travel to a distance of 50 kilometres to go and be counted to confirm that they are not dead. In fact, three weeks ago I had to intervene in Nyamira and request people from my sub-county of Nyansiongo to travel all the way to Kiabonyoru Ward to undertake that exercise within the ward because of the inability of a number of these people to travel that long distance.

• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can spend a minute on Early the Childhood Development Education (ECDE). These are some of the sector of employees who are facing serious problems in Kenya. That is why I had requested Sen. Sakaja to extend his visit to Nyamira. I have ECDE teachers who are owed arrears by the county government for a total of six months. They were never been paid from October, 2019 to March, 2020. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: To date people who are earning Kshs10,000 are still owed arrears by the county government and they are on contract. Their contract comes to an end next year in October. That is not the way we should treat teachers who have diplomas while some have certificates in ECDE. I agree with what Sen. Sakaja has proposed that there is need The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: for us to streamline the terms of service for the ECDE teachers, so that they are uniform in the whole country and they become permanent and pensionable. view
