• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. Sakaja that, we should all be sensitive on issues of children. There are no two ways about it. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the county government must play its role in ensuring children’s rights are observed and that they access education. This is a constitutional right because when you look at Article 53 of the Constitution, the rights of children are indicated. When you talk of children, it is all the children regardless of whether they are street children. Children must be respected. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to support Sen. Chebeni on this Statement that is valuable at this point in time. When it comes to higher levels of learning such as colleges and universities, it is important that courses are accredited so that they safeguard the interests of the learners and employers. Accreditation is important because it ensures that higher levels of learning offer courses that are recognised nationally and acknowledged by international bodies. It also ensures that trainers have the right qualifications. It can be a sad affair for a student to take a course and spend ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for the protection you have given me. It is painful for a student to study for a course for four or five years only to realise that the course they took was not accredited. That is a waste of resources and energy and demoralizes the students. 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
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Accreditation is also important because it ensures that qualifications designed for a certain course are actually given. Accreditation should be done intellectually. For instance, if a course is offered, let it have the desired qualifications such as medicine or veterinary. There is a time game rangers could do what medical doctors do. Qualifications should be on merit. We need to ensure that universities are accredited for purposes of ensuring that courses are market-driven. Apart from being market-driven, there is need for a review, so that even things we desire in our children from an early age through secondary school all ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I seek your indulgence because the information issued is like representing the views of the Senate. We have women here who are affected. There is some information coming to the Floor of this House that I am not certain is accurate. Is the issue of transferring 47 women to the Senate in the BBI? This is a new post being created. Is it written that the transfer is there? view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, before talking to the media or going public and saying what women have said in the Senate, they should talk to us. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Before the Motion that has just ended, there is a report from the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights that we were ventilating on. We mentioned that we will get back to it so that we can also express ourselves. The report was talking about the entire Senate with regard to the stand on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). I just seek your indulgence because I have a few points that I would like to go on the Floor of this House concerning the Senate’s position on the ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity and talk time to ventilate and comment on the issue of the Committee on 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
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. The Committee must be candid that the views they are representing are not views of all women. We already have gains in the BBI report where we have the two thirds gender rule observed. You can remember very well even before this report, there was already a case in court and the Chief Justice, Hon. Maraga, has given a ruling concerning the two thirds gender rule. However, the BBI comes in to solve it in the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, when women are in the Senate, whatever goes to the male Senators will also ... view
