• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: I took my research work to the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) when Prof. Ndurumo was the Director of Special Needs Education. I gave them 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
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: my research work purposely because it had pedagogical implication. That work was not even opened. As I speak, the issue concerning special needs has persistently come up but it has never been addressed since 2003. As a scholar, apart from being a leader, I am passionate because I know that people in Government offices and the KICD have no time to read. That was evidenced when they quoted the work that I did in 2003 but they cannot listen to me as a scholar. I know they cannot implement what I recommended. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need for this country to take higher education seriously and fund the institutions to carry out research. Any problem that is not researched objectively cannot be solved objectively. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Most of the research done in this country is biased. A research should be done with an objective in mind. Most people who do research always have biased opinions even before going to the field. At the end of the day, they just report on what is in their mind and that should not be the case. The research that is done at the higher levels of learning is rigorous. One cannot doctor information because the panel asks the students how they got information and anyone who has doctored information will be embarrassed because they will be unable to explain ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my observations. I support the residents of Wangige because there was an earlier design that did not affect the schools and the church in any way. If the current road is affecting the institutions that you have named, there is need for the KeNHA to bring stakeholders on board. The KeNHA has refused dialogue yet the stakeholders want to be involved. Therefore, there is need for the Senate to intervene so that the KeNHA listens to the residents of Wangige. Roads are important to local residents ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Statement. I support the Senate Majority Leader for this Statement because of the Constitution. The Constitution is clear that power belongs to the people of this nation. Since power belongs to the people, there is need for services to be delivered to them. The role of the Senate is clear in the Constitution. The Senate represents and protects the interests of the county governments. It is unfortunate that sometimes Kenyans are not aware of their rights, they have powers and that devolution seeks ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Bills should never lapse. Instead, they should be concluded within the lifespan of a Parliament and in accordance to the Constitution. The Constitution states how a Bill is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: to become law. Kenyans should know that we can summon the Cabinet Secretaries (CS) on issues that are affecting them. For example, we recently summoned the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to interrogate them on teenage pregnancies and dismissal of teachers because we are concerned about our children in schools. Our people will suffer if we do not interrogate the CSs and the systems. We are here constitutionally to serve Kenyans. Killing the Senate is killing devolution. view

• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second this Motion. I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for coming up with this Motion. This Motion speaks to all the stakeholders in the education sector and needs to be considered with the seriousness it deserves, because it speaks on education. The Constitution speaks of the right to education. Article 43(f) says that everyone has a right to education. Education is a socioeconomic right. Every child, even those born on the streets, has a right to optimal education. That optimal education can be high school, college or university ... view
