• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: dishes, carved animals, and all that. This creates revenue for the sculptures and the local people. Therefore, I support the idea that all counties need to identify these tourist attraction sites so that locals can benefit from them. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am speaking for wananchi . This Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani is actually addressing the issue of ensuring that the locals are involved. There is even the need for public participation in all counties so that they get to know what exactly can attract tourists, and how exactly tourists can be brought on board. When tourists come ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice. I stand to second this Bill. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this report with some reservations. When this Bill went for mediation, it was supposed to create a win- win situation. Mediation was not supposed to benefit one ‗winner‘. Going forward, I would like to state that we represent the counties and their interest. Therefore, for the purpose of the citizens of this country and the counties that we represent, I would like to state that there is need for it to be enshrined in the Constitution so that the amount of money that is supposed to be taken to counties be stated ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: The amount of Kshs316.5 billion may not be enough for the counties because there are some projects that are stalled in the counties. One is sometimes left to wonder if the projects stalled as a result of lack of funds or the money meant for projects was misappropriated or misused. There are some issues in the counties that are deplorable. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, Sen. Mwaura highlighted the issue of stalled construction of Thogoto Level 4 Hospital in Kiambu County. That is uncalled for. The county governments should understand that they can get the money thought various sources. ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: If countries can generate their own money, they can budget for upcoming issue such as worker‘s strikes. The counties can make use of the revenue that they collect from their counties. There is need for transparent mechanism to ensure that the money collected in the counties goes to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) while the remainder is utilised in the counties. I support this Bill for the purpose of ensuring that services reach the mwananchi . Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, accepting the figure of Kshs316.5 billion was a bitter pill to swallow. However, we sometimes have to swallow a bitter ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1) to make a Statement on the Deaf Awareness Month that is marked in the month of September every year. This is a topic of general concern nationally and internationally. The deaf awareness month is marked so as to raise awareness on issues of deaf persons, their cultures, concerns and challenges. The purpose of the deaf awareness month is to ensure inclusivity of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). It, therefore, ensures inclusivity of the deaf who are the minority. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the deaf have linguistic challenges. ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not discussing it. It is on my fingertips. Let me just read it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.41(1) to make a Statement on the Deaf Awareness Month that is marked in the month of September, every year. The United Nations (UN) has also declared 23rd to 29th of September every year as deaf awareness week. The beginning date of the deaf awareness week, that is, 23rd of September has been declared by the UN as the day of sign language. I would like to raise this awareness to my fellow ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, during this Deaf Awareness Month, I chose to give free instructional material to the deaf, hearing people and my fellow Senators as a way of raising awareness. It is my hope and desire that my colleagues will be happy to embrace inclusivity in their programmes, and counties will deliberately implement affirmative action as postulated in the Constitution and leverage on Article 54(2) (b). 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
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: The Article demands that five per cent of elective and appointive positions be accorded to PWDs. It is also my desire that the deaf will also be accorded gainful employment. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank the Standing Committee on Education, which has truly embraced sign language inclusivity. The Committee, during the Senate sittings in Uasin Gishu County last year, launched instructional materials that I wrote and which were Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) approved. view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am glad to state that next week, during the Senate sittings in Kitui, the Committee on Education will meet special needs schools at St. Michaels School for the Deaf. I will donate sign language materials to all the schools that will be in attendance. view
