• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: will bring it to the floor of this House.This is because I know that the Senate is a House of reason and so issues of disability--- view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, if the HANSARD can be rechecked, I said that there is discrimination on PWDs out there. I mentioned that being a representative of PWDs in the 47 counties, I will bring the matter here so that the issues are heard because the Senate is a House of reason. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, it is important for PWDs to be heard and involved in county and national conversations. I want to say right here and I will say this without blinking and fear, I was at the Bomas of Kenya in the morning. We were talking about the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). The PWDs were not given a chance to speak for themselves. When we are talking about discrimination and the marginalized, let it come out clearly that women and the youth talk about marginalization because they are marginalized. However, PWDs are the most marginalized and, therefore, their voice ought ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: 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
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: it, people rarely recognize this. I will say this on the floor of this House because it was a hurtful situation when PWDs were not able to voice their issues. PWDs have what it takes to be involved in sports and bring gold to this country. Many times when they go out there for international competitions they are able to come with silver and gold, but this is not magnified. It does not come out and so people do not realize that PWDs have what it takes. There is need to come up with a policy that will ensure that ... view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like them to hear my voice. If they cannot hear my voice there, let them hear my voice here. When we are talking of inclusivity as a country, we cannot talk of inclusivity if we are not helping our PwDs to excel where they can. We have a duty, as a nation, to ensure that we carry on board the PwDs. Even when we are talking about the BBI, let inclusion not only be of women and youth. Let the inclusion be women, youth and also PwDs. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, before I reply, allow me to congratulate you for taking that position. I hope it is not a position that you will take once, but it should be many times. Congratulations because you are doing a good job and I am proud of you. I thank my fellow Senators for coming out strongly to support this Motion. Kenyans should know that the Senate is keen on issues of inclusivity. The Senate is keen to see that PWDs are virtually included in everything. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank Sen. Cherargei, he seconded this Motion. I also ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: It has also come out as a big summary from fellow Senators that even when we are having a national or county conversation, we should never talk about inclusivity in this country without involving PWDs. This is something very important especially at a time like this when the entire nation is on a national conversation about the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and it has to come out clearly. It is my prayer that President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto, Sen. Wetangula, Raila Odinga, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka and all the principals should hear this. When you are talking of issues ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: It should not happen like I saw, where I represent PWDs nationally, but I had no voice at all. It has come out clearly that when it comes to sports, it has benefits to PWDs in terms of ensuring physical fitness, career development, team work, self-worthiness and confidence. I want to thank my Chairman, Sen. (Dr.) Langat, who has picked up the issue very fast and has even suggested that there is need to make a county visit in all the 47 counties to find out whether there are facilities of sporting in schools in Kenya. I also want to ... view
