• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: The deaf already have a language problem. Therefore, it is the onus of the society to ensure that it helps them to get the dominant language. This is because they will not stay in school forever. At some point, they will be in the wider society. So, there is no way we can implement Article 54(2) and employ them if they cannot write an application letter because the world will judge them harshly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when it comes to the blind, Braille is in exact English and so they do not lose out on anything. If you get ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: to remain will always take us back and tell us the language is for the deaf users. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a Tiriki. My late father was a Tiriki and my mother is a Maragoli. I cannot purport to research in Tiriki language because my father was Tiriki or look at linguistic issues in Maragoli and be an authority. I am a user of a language but not an authority. For example, if a person speaks Luo language, they should clearly know they may not be able to write a proper sentence in the language in the manner ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whenever key issues are needed to develop this area, Prof. Ndurumo is always excluded. The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has never brought Prof. Ndurumo on board. Similarly, the NCPWD has never brought Prof. Ndurumo on board. The NCPWD and KICD always bring deaf people who are not well educated and claim that those are the users of the language. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: When I was a lecturer at the Kenyatta University (KU), I taught some units on sign language. I taught a lady named Ms. Pakata who works at the KICD. She confessed that there is need to do something in this area. Ms. Pakata and all the other educated deaf people will tell you that KICD is wrong in not co-opting the right people. However, the deaf who have been misused will want the status quo to remain. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason people sometimes want the status quo is so that they can misuse the deaf. Whether a person has a disability or not, when they are educated, they become empowered because they are liberated and can articulate issues which can be meaningful to the society. Without proper education, there is no way the deaf will be liberated. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: This Bill is looking at liberating the deaf. The deaf will remember that this Senate made a contribution. They will remember that the Senate ensured that they receive better 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
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: education. Currently, most deaf people do not get gainful employment. At one point, I taught at the Karen Technical Institute for the Deaf. Some of the deaf persons that I taught ended up selling sweets on the streets because there is no organization that employs people who cannot communicate in English. I would like the deaf to be in gainful employment and utilized in a manner they can say that the Senate has done a good thing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I commend Sen. (Prof.) Kamar who is my co- sponsor for being passionate about the issues of persons with ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming the MCA of Trans Nzoia in the House. I also thank you for giving me this opportunity to welcome the students from Strathmore University in the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Strathmore University is known as an institution of learning that has a mission of ensuring that they create an all-round Student who will go back to the society and ensure that he is serving it. It is also committed to lifelong learning and service to the society. That is why some of them ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: back to the university, they will not be the same. This is a good opportunity for them to come here and listen to us as we debate issues of national importance. Eventually, even when they take over the baton, they will know some of the key issues that are important and salient in our nation. I congratulate you for welcoming the students in the House. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice. I commend sen. Outa for coming up with this Statement. It is really painful that six members of a family can just die like that. It is also contravening Article 26 of our Constitution that everyone has a right to life. It also compromises the issue of security. It is unfortunate that this thing happened. We should never condone mob justice in whatever form. People should never take the law in their hands. There is need for the Committee to ensure that it follows this ... view
