• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I want to support this Statement from Sen. Faki. I want to condole with the families of those who passed on during this incident. It is a painful incident by trigger-happy soldiers who ended up shooting innocent people. We are condoling with these families especially the Kenyans who died during this incident. They had families and there is need to step in and see how we can support them especially during this very difficult moment. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: It should not be only during this difficult moment. Remember some of these Kenyans who died had children who will be orphans and will not have a way of being supported to go to school and all that. They are going to have that pain of losing a parent for a very long time. If there is a widow who has a child, the child should be educated up to the level where their brains can take them. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: It is my prayer that the Committee that is going to look into this issue will see to it that there is full compensation. The compensation should be fair because we cannot bring back life but we can help the remaining family endure the pain but still survive because they have to press and move on until a time when God will decide to take them also to himself. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: I support. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. Wambua. Teachers play a salient role in the life of children from early years all the way to primary, secondary and universities. The role they play needs to be acknowledged and honoured. We need to promote them. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: When I was a teacher with the TSC, teachers were encouraged to enroll for further education. Once they completed their degrees, they were promoted. It was an incentive for teachers to progress in their career. This made many teachers to enroll for Bachelors and Masters’ degrees for those who had not attained that level of education. It is unfortunate this time, the TSC is insensitive to their plight. There is need for these head teachers to be promoted. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: The TSC is reluctant in terms of responding to teachers’ issues. For example, next month it might retire a deputy principal with disabilities in total disregard of the PWD policy that stipulates that they retire at 65 years. We have written to them, but they have not responded. There is need for the TSC to take issues of teachers seriously. We would not be where we are if it were not for the effort of teachers. The TSC should respect and honour the role played by teachers in this country. When it comes to promotion of teachers, I urge TSC ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: I agree with the Senator, that these deputy principals need to be promoted and their salaries adjusted accordingly. As I said, they should respect the PWD policy and not retire the deputy principal next month. I have been talking about that teacher and my chairperson of the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare Sen. Sakaja is aware of it. It is unfair for them not to listen to the Senators because we represent everybody in this country. There is need for fairness to all workers as they do their work in this Republic. The electronic version of the Senate ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to second the Bill that has been brought to the Floor of this House by Sen. Kihika. 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
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: There are many issues in our society affecting women and young girls. We read in the newspapers cases where teenage and adolescent girls are impregnated. We hear of fetuses being thrown into toilets by the young mothers. Last week, I saw in the media a mother who had thrown her baby into a pit latrine. There are several cases of babies stolen from hospitals. Sometimes medics have colluded in such heinous arrangements. Further, we have read real cases where husband and wife partying ways simply because they do not have a child. Most of those issues are now being addressed ... view
