• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: devolved function and can no longer be an issue of the national Government. PWDs in Paralympics are not represented in national and international sporting events simply because the county governments have taken a back seat and they are not supporting this. There is need to interrogate the money that is given to sports and find out how much goes to Paralympic sports and how much is used in counties. The issues of accessibility are very important.

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: I want to thank Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko who came up with a statement that was deeply thought. He even quoted the Bible and said that Jesus during his time gave PWDs an opportunity to walk, see and be meaningful in the society they belong in. When Jesus was alive he made sure that PWDs were meaningful in their societies. It has also come from my fellow legislators that the county governments should give PWDs an opportunity to excel in sports and showcase their talents. They should nurture their talents. I am happy about the encouragement that I have received from my ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: I would like to remind the House that in 1990 Kenya was one of the countries that signed and ratified the United Nations (UN) Convention of Persons with Disability. When Kenya ratified, we were actually affirming that we will abide by the international laws. If we did, then it just an issue of implementation. The issue of implementation will come in terms of policies, Bills and ensuring that as a Senate we are implementing the UN Convention of the rights of PWDs. view

The county governments must be effective in addressing the same. I would like to pass my condolences to the people of West Pokot County who have lost their loved ones.

• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: they are supporting, there is need to look for a sustainable way of ensuring that we bring this disaster to a stop. There was a time when county governments were putting aside funds to prevent disasters. I remember that at one point, I saw some culverts and terraces being erected for purposes of preventing floods in Nairobi. However, there is need for county governments to seriously look into the issue of floods, because prevention is better than cure. Madam Temporary Speaker, we should not always wait for a disaster for us to come to ventilate on the issue here in ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make a Statement.
