• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Sometimes, when you go to special needs schools, you will find that the teachers are not enough. Even the ratio of teacher to child is not enough. These are some of the issues that we have been trying to make a follow up on, in the Standing Committee on Education, where I am a Member. The TSC does not seem to effect anything on the ground. As I speak, there are some PWD teachers who are being retired at 60, yet there is a policy that teachers with disability should retire at 65. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you look at ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you,Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support Sen. Cherargei’s Statement on extra-judicial killings, otherwise known as extra-judicial executions. This does not have a legal basis and should not be condoned in all ways. The fact that the police find young people somewhere, maybe in a crowd where there is commotion, is not reason enough to be trigger happy and kill.

• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Most of the time when we talk about extra-judicial executions, it happens mostly among the poor. Such things mostly happen in slum areas like Majengo, Mukuru kwa Njenga and Kibra. However, there is also need to realize that when one is poor, it does not criminalize them. The fact that one comes from a poor background does not necessarily mean that whatever they do is not proper. For instance, if the youth are eking out a living and bringing food on the table, they should be supported. There is need for the police to be very cautious before they get ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Therefore there is need for us to strike a balance to ensure that we protect our youth and our police officers because some of them are going through a lot of stress that needs to be addressed. The stress is as a result of housing and payments. Sometimes some of them have displaced aggression and go trigger-happy because they vent their frustrations on the wrong people. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my voice. I support this Statement. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to congratulate the President of IPU, Sen. Kihika. I also thank her for coming up with this Statement. It is an honor for the women in Africa. The theme for this year is: “Each for equal”. An equal world is an enabled world. Everyone must be involved in ensuring women are somewhere and there is balanced gender parity. Everyone has a duty and responsibility of ensuring that women achieve. When celebrating the Women World Day, we are celebrating women’s achievements politically, socially, economically and culturally. When we look ... view

• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. As women, if we have the support of men on our side, we can go far. It is not possible to have sustainable development if we have women lagging behind. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when talking of equality, equality should prevail everywhere, including in media coverage. When it comes to media coverage, there is need for women who have actually made it to be covered by the media in order to mentor others. This is because when it comes to setting the agenda, the media is very important. Therefore, the mainstream media should come out and cover women who are making it because we must progress. Women have stagnated for quite some time, but I appreciate that women in many countries in Africa are making a milestone and are progressing. That ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the whole world must hear this. When we are talking about women empowerment and women in leadership, let us also consider women with disabilities, who have been forgotten. This is because when we look at the women being profiled in the media, both the local and international, women with disability are not being profiled. I request the President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to kindly take that into account so that women with disabilities are profiled. That way, we do not leave behind other women as other mainstream women climb up the ladder. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. It is a good thing to extend the time of the Select Committee, so that they can do thorough investigations. In as much as time will be extended, there is need for the Committee to work with speed. I say this because there are a lot of ills that are happening in the health sector in the country at the moment. Currently, there are some clinical officers who have gone on strike because their demands have not been met. What they are demanding is right. They ... view
