Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice. I want to congratulate Sen. Nyamunga for coming up with the two Statements. I want to comment on the first Statement concerning guards. Guards have an important role to play in the day to day running of any organization because they work as the sentinel of an organization. They are the watchdogs and the ones who know when something is going to be wrong even before the management is aware.

When it comes to effecting safety measures of an organization, guards come in handy. In as much as we blame them, you will find that guards usually follow instructions given to them when doing their work. If a guard has been told that nobody should get into that toilet unless the person is a customer, there is no way the guard is going to allow anyone to go in there. Sometimes they do things and act in a certain The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ...

I read in the media the other day; a guard in Uriri Polytechnic who was killed by the polytechnic students simply because he blamed the students for having stolen bulbs. There is need for us to ensure that even guards are protected because they are fathers, mothers, husbands and all that. We cannot just take a back seat and decide that guards do not have customer etiquette yet they are doing what their organization has told them to do.

I also want to contribute towards Sen. Nyamunga’s issue on rice. There is need for us to ensure that we protect our farmers, especially rice farmers because it is a staple food in Ahero. They must have an exit route when it comes to selling their products. There is no need of importing rice when we have rice from Mwea Tebere and ---

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Statement. When it comes to diabetes, it is a silent killer. By the time people realise, the disease has gone too far and it has a lot of damaging effects to the body. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to ensure that we defend our Constitution, especially Article 43, which talks about socio-economic rights. One of the socio-economic rights is that of health; that everyone has a right to attain good health. It is, therefore, in our docket to ensure that we are supporting this Statement so ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have two major types of diabetes. There is type 1 diabetes that affects children and young people and type 2 diabetes that cuts across. There is also a minor type called gestational diabetes which is common in pregnant women but with time it can turn to type 2 diabetes. Therefore, there is need to do a campaign for people to know how they can prevent diabetes, for example, by exercises and ensuring one eats well and reducing sugar intake. People should also take tea or coffee because some research has shown that even teas and coffee ...

This Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo should not be taken for granted. It should go to the next level. County governments should implement what Sen. (Dr.) Milgo wants this Senate to help her achieve.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. This is also a very important Statement from Sen. (Dr.) Milgo. The issue of land use is very important in this country. There are many times we have had cases of public land being used wrongly. There are situations where private developers have encroached public land. There is need to ensure that even in the counties, there is a framework for ensuring that when it comes to development, there is a provision on how land needs to be used. For instance, there is need to have a plan of what ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this issue. I want to say before this House that even though I am a PWD, I am not where I am because I was born with a disability. If I was born with a disability, I would not be where I am. I am saying this because what is happening on the ground is very painful. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
