• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that when this Statement comes, probably to the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization, we will look at it with an open eye and see how we can help Kenyans in the manufacturing and building industry. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: I support. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second this Motion. Before I second it, I want to truly congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for coming up with this Motion. She is the Chairperson of the Committee on Education. We have met a number of governors on the issue of EDCE centres in the 47 counties. We cannot ignore ECDE because it is neither a cost nor a burden, but an investment in this country. EDCE is more of a preparatory stage for children to begin socializing with others outside their homes. Once children are born ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we must make its right in early childhood, so that we endow children with the right language, cognitive and physical development. Therefore, we cannot afford to waste our children at an early age. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important that we develop children intellectually. This has a cost and the Government must be ready to bear it. Kenya is among the counties that ratified the United Nations (UN) Convention on children globally. In 1990, Kenya signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Child (UNCRC). Every child has a right to education. We cannot put ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: child is placed in the right education environment, then he or she will not lose in any way. There are parents who get children with disability and move from pillar to post, frustrated and not knowing what to do with them. They are not aware that their child has a disability, but are aware that something is not right with their child. We can save these parents by having functional assessment centres, where they can be taken through what their children are going through. It is important that the prayer of Sen. (Dr.) Milgo is implemented. The issue of policy ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. In brief, what Sen. (Dr.) Milgo is moving on the Floor of the House is that funds be allocated to ECDEs and policies put in place. These policies should ensure that money is set aside to cater for cognitive, physical and social development. We cannot afford to have a poor foundation and grounding for our children in the ECDE. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition from Kajiado. Issues of promotions are not only for one section; they cut across the country. We need to find out whether the TSC has allocated money for purposes of promotion. Also, as we push for teachers to be promoted, we should be careful not to bend standards. This is because there are many variables that come into play when it comes to promotion, for example, how many years a teacher has served, whether there is money available and many other factors. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: I know that this Petition will come to the Committee on Education where I sit. We will have to look at it with an open eye, so that it will help with the issue of promotion of teachers across the country and not only in Kajiado County. We should have a situation where we give promotions to teachers on the basis that they come from marginalized areas et cetera . Let all teachers be compensated, so that they are happy about the service that they have given this country. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48v(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the return to school of learners who are forced out of school as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Statement, the Committee should- (i) establish the number of learners who have not reported to school across all academic levels including special schools following interruption of learning because of the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) find out the distribution and demographics of the said learners who have not resumed school across all counties owing to the impact of ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Sen. Prengei for coming up with this Statement. When we look at the economy of this country, farmers play a major role because they do the actual work of planting on the farm. This maize that they plant and whatever products they produce is consumed not only by themselves, but by other Kenyans as well. I just wonder about the fate of the farmers in this said region. What will become of them if they do not plant maize at all? It will be a noble thing for ... view
