• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: can end up to be. We all have hidden potential. We do not know how somebody will be in the next five or ten years from now. When these children are given an opportunity, they can become leaders and bring changes in this country. Some of the great leaders in this country came from poor backgrounds, but were given an opportunity to access education. What is happening in HELB should never have happened. HELB has sort of become a business. It is wrong that a bright student from a poor background has to go to the HELB offices to ask ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: There is need for a waiver of interest and to ensure that HELB does not even look at the Act. The Act needs to be revised so that there is waiver of the interest because it is painful, a big let-down and a shame. We need to see how we can stand with our students because, eventually, these children are the same people that will lead this country. They will leave a legacy and say that they made it because HELB helped them to reach where they are. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: As it stands, graduates on the ground are crying and pained because of what is happening at the HELB. The CEO should come here and stop telling people that he will take them to court. What crime have they done? If you are poor and were afforded an education, you should be a given a job, so that you can repay all the money that HELB is asking for. There is need for the Ministry of Education in conjunction with HELB to ensure they address this issue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need for sensitization on this HELB loan because parents and guardians are not aware that it is a trap for their children who have borrowed these loans. This is because at the end of the day, the same parents will be approached and they will have to sell their land to pay the loan, since they are the guarantors. Some of the parents to these children who have accessed HELB loans could only be having a quarter an acre of family land. If that piece of land is sold to pay off the loan, where ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: This is a valid Motion and I want to encourage Sen. (Dr.) Ali to ensure it becomes a Bill. As the Senate, we must go on record that we are supporting higher education, and do not also want our students to be frustrated. We must support higher education in whatever corners because if it was not for education our nation would not be where it is. This is because education is an equaliser and creates an all-round person. It is through education that people are able to mingle with others, interact universally and give back to their nation meaningfully. view

• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to welcome the boys from Bungoma County and the Members of Parliament (MPs) from Uganda to the Senate today. These are best international practices that need to be encouraged. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: It is good to have students who are boys in the House because we have been talking about the girl-child at the expense of our boys. There is need for us to encourage our boys so that by the time they finish school, we will have boys who are ready to take the mantle. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I encourage the boys to work very hard because this nation believes in them. I trust that when they work hard in school, they will be good leaders. I encourage the boys to take the advice given to them by their teachers seriously. I urge them to shun from joining bad company because they need to know that wrong company can pollute morals. We would like to have boys who are morally upright. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: I believe that their teachers are doing their best, but there is need to ensure that they listen to their teachers and parents. There is need for a tripartite relationship for them to become good leaders. view
