• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to support Sen. Kwamboka for coming up with this Statement. During this COVID- 19 period, we need to know the role that teachers and schools play in the lives of a person. This is because it is in learning the situation that children learn so much. Sometimes parents may not be able to tell children, in the home environment, some of the things that they need to be told. We cannot blame the children because they are still very young. Think of a girl of 11 years getting pregnant. You ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: We have to be empathetic to the plight of children and see how to help them. However, the perpetrators of these heinous acts should not go scot-free. The perpetrators out there in mashinani should be brought to book. Those brothers, sisters, and stepfathers who are doing this should be brought to book. Also, men in ties and suits who are doing this should be brought to book. Thank you. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity, and allow me also to congratulate you for this position, as someone with a disability sitting on that Chair. It means a lot for Persons with Disabilities in this country. I want to congratulate Sen. Farhiya for coming up with this Statement. This issue does not only concern Wajir County, but there are many other boards where members are not paid. People are appointed to a board because of the trust that is vested in them, and when appointed, they are allotted work and duties. They spend a lot ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: In fact, there is need to carry out an analysis of all boards in this country, to see whether the board members are treated fairly or they are just treated as if they are not doing any good work. When Kenyans commit their energy to working for this country, let it be treated positively and have them compensated for the same energy they invest. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: I support this Statement, and it should go to the right Committee. The Committee should also look at other counties, to see whether board members are treated as they should. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to support Sen. Cherargei for coming up with this important Statement. When police officers are given guns, they are not given the power to kill. They are given those guns to protect Kenyans. It is unfortunate that sometimes they misuse them and think that they can shoot any time they are angry. Sometimes they are irresponsible in the way they use guns because of frustration. Sen. Cherargei narrated a case of unwarranted shooting in Lessos in Nandi County. Police officers were not supposed to shoot simply because ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: The Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights should ensure that the police who did this are brought to book. They should not go scot-free. Many at times, cases of police officers harassing Kenyans come to the Floor of this House, but perpetuators are not punished. They should be thoroughly punished to deter others from committing such crimes in our society. We want to have confidence in our police, but they should know that they have a duty to protect Kenyans and not to kill--- view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to comment on this report. I congratulate the MCAs of Kirinyaga County for bringing the impeachment Motion to the Senate which is a House of reason. I congratulate the Special Committee that dealt with this impeachment Motion for being objective. If the Committee had gone by the media portrayal of Gov. Waiguru or by the dictates of the County Assembly of Kirinyaga, they would not have done a commendable job. However, the Committee was impartial and went with the authentic data that they found. The Committee was evidence based ... view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the law allows the MCAs to bring impeachment Motions to this House. However, they need to learn from this impeachment process that they must have verifiable reasons that stand the test of time and meet the threshold for an impeachment. Going forward, there is need to have a tripartite relationship in terms of how the MCAs relate with their governors. The Senator for Kirinyaga needs to ensure that there is a cordial relationship between the Assembly and executive of Kirinyaga County Executive for purposes of development. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: I thank the 11 team Member Special Committee that did a commendable job that would not have been done in Plenary considering the evidence was voluminous. The Committee did a commendable job. Going forward, we should ensure that we follow the example of the Special Committee which committed itself to ensure justice and impartiality is done to the impeachment Motion. view
