• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: There is also a resolution regarding albinism and the kind of human rights violation these people face in Africa. There is an action plan to eliminate any form of violation by 2020, which is only one month from now. I think it is too late because if the abuses continue, that group of people will be extinct. There is need for that to be fast- tracked. We should have stringent laws to discourage people from killing fellow human beings. They are killed because of beliefs in witchcraft, which has no space in a country like ours where people take pride ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: 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
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: other Sen. Mwaura, a Member of this House, whom we all know fights for the rights of PWDs. There is also a proposal to ensure freedom of movement and people having African passports. You can imagine the impact of having an African passport and any African living anywhere they wish within the Continent of Africa. If the recommendation by the PAP is implemented, nothing will stop the Continent of Africa from realising achievements because other continents have reached their optimum levels. They cannot deny us from doing the same because they use our resources and market to grow their own ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: I support the Pan African Parliament (PAP) in terms of those resolutions. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support the Report and recommend that all our Senators read this Report because it is very rich. I second and thank you for giving me the extra 30 seconds. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving this opportunity. I am happy to see you on that Chair. I congratulate you for being there today. Yesterday, we discussed about the role of nominated women in this House and issues around that. I do not want to belabour on that issue that was extensively discussed yesterday. However, I am glad to see you on the Chair. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: I am impressed by the type of Motions, Statements and Bills that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve generates around disability. I am not tired of repeating that PWDs are over- represented by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. I thank her for the active role. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to bring the attention of the House to Article 27 of the Constitution that gives equality and freedom from discrimination. view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Article 27(4) states that:- “The State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against any person on any ground including race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, dress, language or birth.” We have such a progressive Constitution and I wish we implemented even half of it. Most of the problems that we have in this country would have been history if we implemented it. Madam Temporary Speaker, I happened to be at the Bomas of Kenya today. I am happy about the outcome of the BBI. There are many things ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Creation of Para Sports in the counties is a good idea because it will empower a group of people to come together. When people come together, the ideology that is shared among them can change their lives. Everybody has their own unique experiences. None of us think alike. We all have different boxes with different thoughts. However, if we brought our ideas together, we can move mountains. The Para Sports associations will also create jobs. That is something we look forward to for the PWDs. An idle mind is a devil’s workshop. If people are busy, a lot of good ... view
