• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: know that once they supply, they will get their take. However, in the event of consultation, such errors can be avoided. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to speak on the issue of the Board of Directors. I do not know whether the Senator has included this; that the membership of the Board needs to be inclusive. We need to have representatives from the national Government and the county governments included in the membership of the board. Let all kinds of people be included. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Persons with disabilities (PWDs) should be included among the members of the Board of Directors. This is because these are people who actually need medical services. Many times, you find that they are ignored or their needs are not met because of the lack of awareness. Madam Temporary Speaker, even in the KEMSA, there is need for sensitization regarding issues to do with PWDs. I will not shy away from saying that there is need for KEMSA to be sensitized. When children with disabilities go back to schools, you will sometimes find that they need medical attention, but their needs ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to join you in welcoming the students from Tharaka Nithi County to this House. It is great for schools to have programmes where students come to listen to the debates in the Senate and also interact with national issues. As they listen to their Senators debating national issues, it becomes real to them that leadership is about being selfless and dedicating your life for the sake of others. I commend the girls for coming here. I encourage the students to work very hard. I am happy that the students ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: listen to the debates. I am sure that by the time they leave this House, they will be confident that it is possible for a woman to be a leader. We are banking on them to take their education seriously so as to help in building the economy of this country. I thank you. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Statement. I thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with it. Education is supposed to produce an all rounded person. However, it is unfortunate that as things are unfolding in this country, we will not have students who will be all round. I have been heard at one point saying that I really thank God that I got a disability after I had acquired education. This is because, if I was among the children with disabilities who are in school, I would not have reached where I ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: experts on board to give them expert information. Instead, they make sure that they exclude the experts. A person like Prof. Ndurumo is someone we cannot do away with in the area of special needs education. He has brought a lot of value addition to this county. However, he is never brought on board. In any case, when they are discussing issues of special education, they make sure that Prof. Ndurumo is not brought on board. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need for the Government to be candid on the issues of disability to ensure that the children with disabilities ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to comment on this Statement by the Senate Majority Leader. I want to thank him for coming up with this Statement because the issue of security in this country is core, and there is need to ensure that citizens are protected. If legislators are at risk, what about the common mwananchi ? I know these two people independently. I Know Sen. Anuar as someone who is committed to his work, and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: I also know Saumu very well. She was my student when I was teaching at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). She was very committed to her work. I remember she was a class representative in one of the units that I was teaching. So, I really feel for her and sympathize with the entire situation. I sympathize with the Senator and Saumu for what happened. There is need for the culprits to be brought to book and make sure that justice prevails. If the suspects have been released, what hope is there for ensuring justice for the ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to request for a Statement on the assault of a Form Three student at Hafumbure Secondary School by a police officer in Busia. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations concerning cases of police brutality against civilians. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain what the police service is doing to curb cases of police brutality perpetrated against civilians during arrest and detention. (2) Explain measures put in place to ensure victims of ... view
