• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. From the outset, I commend the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Education and his team for coming up with this Bill. This is important to all Kenyans. The Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) forms the basis of a child’s lifelong journey into the world of learning that eventually transits into the world of work, or absorption of a child to the wider society. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many children leave home to go for ECDE when they are still egocentric. ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: We do this knowing very well that one day we will hand over the mantle to them. Our children are our future and we must nurture them properly. Early childhood education can prevent far reaching consequences at an early age. For instance, we will avoid having deviant behaviour in our society if we instill discipline in our children at an early age. We will not have children misbehaving because they will learn values and other virtues from their parents and teachers. At the end of the day, they will grow up to be productive and respected adults in society. ECDE ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: This is a good Bill for it is also speaking on the issue of disability. Sen. Wetangula has mentioned that the issue of disability is an issue that is important. He has mentioned that he has significant others who have disabilities. I am happy because this Bill is speaking on issues of disability and children with disabilities. However, I want to bring it to the Floor of this House that there is need for the Senate, through the Committee on Education, to interrogate this issue. The Committee should go to the ground and see what is happening there regarding the ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. It specifically addresses our roles as Senators. We have a role to represent the counties and their interests. It directly speaks to the counties. I listened to the Senate Majority Leader as he spoke, because I wanted to interact, engage and understand the Bill because I am also in that Committee. I want to say, yes, there is need for intensive public participation. The fact that governors want to come and interact more with the Bill, this is important because when you ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Everyone should feel comfortable about the law that we, as the Senate, are making. The issue of composition has just up. There is need for inclusive composition, one that ensures that people are represented in a way that they are happy. It is important that public participation is done. Even when the meeting has been set - and we mentioned this within the Committee in the Monday meeting - there is need for an intensive follow up and advertisement. This will ensure that someone does not say they never saw the advert. The advert can be in all newspapers or ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: I had not even seen that the term of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) had not been spelt out. There is need for the term to be spelt out. For example, if it is three years, is it three years continuously? If the Bill is passed the way it is and there are issues that we have not resolved as the Senate, we will be blamed. We have to ensure that whatever legislation we pass in this House, we can look back and say: “Yes, the legislations we passed were very okay.’ People will agree that this Senate has done ... view

• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you. I did not hear it clearly. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this debate. I thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Bill. This is a Bill that speaks to all of us and to all the counties. I remember some years back I was in Nairobi County and I saw people running here and there and wondered what was happening. There was a lot of panic in the City around where I was and then from nowhere, I saw women being bundled in vehicles and there was ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: that you just want--- Some of them are even corrupt and they do not care. They take money and move on like nothing has happened. In such situations, you will find that when a city askari has been corrupted, he is answerable to no one because the following day you will still see him working. In a situation where a city askari has been corrupted and has been unethical, they need to be brought to book in a situation where he has infringed on people’s decency and rights so that he or she is answerable. This will instill discipline in ... view
