• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I commend Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for coming up with a good Statement. The issue of xenophobic attacks should not be taken lightly because the persons in South Africa who have that attitude towards strangers and other people, are actually the Coloureds. They go out of their way to do anything to express their anger. In the case of South Africa, I see people who seem to be so angry and they are not able to fight the initial cause of their frustration; that is, poverty, unemployment and all that. I ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: I want to urge the Ministry concerned to find out which parts of South Africa that this xenophobia is going on; whether it is occurring in certain parts of South Africa or the entire country. If it is happening only in some parts of South Africa, then Kenyans who are there can be relocated to other parts because they are also eking a living and everyone has a right to eke a living in any part of this world. The issue of lack of delivery of services to South Africans has nothing to do with the Africans who are living ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is an important Statement because the issue of health is pertinent to this country and is one of the Big Four Agenda. Level 4 hospitals can serve cases that cannot be served at Levels 2 and 3 hospitals. Therefore, patients who need complicated surgeries are supposed to be taken to Level 4 hospitals. Services were procured to construct the hospital yet it stalled. There is need for an audit to be done to find out how much was allocated for that hospital and whether it was used prudently. This is because we represent the counties and ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will be quite brief. I commend Sen. Shiyonga for coming up with this Statement. I lived in Mumias some years back, around 1995, when I was a high school teacher at St. Angela School for the Deaf and also Mumias Secondary School, which is a regular school. During that time, I did not experience hippos moving around, but monkeys. If hippos are now invading Mumias East, there is need for investigation to find out the cause. view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to air my views on this Motion. I want to thank Sen. Kibiru for coming up with this Motion. Trees have varied uses. They have economic uses; they can be used by carpenters. They also have spiritual benefits, aesthetic value and so on. We cannot forget the aesthetic value that comes with trees. It is very important to plant trees along the infrastructure projects. I was in Dubai at one point and you could see the aesthetic beauty of the environment that comes from trees all the way from the ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we have to put into consideration the issue of road safety. When the trees are planted along the roads, it is possible for drivers to clearly see where the roads are ending. The trees will help to reduce the road accidents because the roads will be visible, especially if the trees are painted. The trees will act as natural guide for safe driving. There have been so many cases and incidents of road accidents along our roads and sometimes it is because the drivers veer off the roads. There are also times when some drivers who are ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to give my comments. I thank Sen. Mwaura for coming up with this Petition with regard to autoimmune disease persons. Healthcare is a constitutional requirement. The Constitution provides that everyone has a right to be physically fit. Therefore, when some citizens are physically unfit, they will be unproductive. There is need for a subsidy for physiotherapy treatment so that persons with this disability could access it at affordable cost. Awareness of issues affecting PWDs is important, but it is not enough. There is need for a practical solution to ensure ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: We need to ensure that there are qualified medics for the purpose of inclusivity and accessibility of healthcare to everybody because it is one of the Big Four Agenda of Jubilee Administration. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Statement. I would like to commend Sen. Shiyonga for coming up with this Statement. PWDs are actually high-risk and vulnerable pedestrians. Blind people are vulnerable because they are not able to see when a vehicle is coming. Even when a motorist hoots, they may not be able to see which direction the vehicle is coming from, so that they know which way to go. Deaf people may also be unable to hear when a motorist hoots. People who are physically-challenged have mobility problems which ... view
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the Senate held its sittings in Uasin Gishu County last year, the Committee on Education launched books on special needs education that are supposed to be used as instructional materials in schools. The books that were launched were Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) approved. They included charts, learners and teacher’s guide copies that are handy to not only persons with special needs, but persons without disabilities. view
