• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Before I reply, on behalf of my family and on behalf of PWDs in this nation, I condole with the family of Sen. Faki who has lost his son. It is a painful thing but my prayer is that God may strengthen Sen. Faki’s family because it is a trying moment for the family. Now back to the Motion, allow me to thank all fellow Senators who have stood to support it. They have come out strongly to support the Motion objectively. I thank each and every one of them ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: I also thank them because most importantly they have been impartial and objective. As they were giving their input concerning this Motion, they had in mind the deaf learner in the classroom and I commend them for that. I know that quite a number of Senators have commended me for the passion I have when it comes to issues of PWDs. I want to make it very clear that issues of PWDs have been dear to me throughout my teaching life. I even researched on them. It is not only in this House that I have talked about issues of ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: impairment. Ensuring that deaf learners get the proper language will allow them to also interact with those who can hear and that will expand their social network. My fellow Senators have also talked about the issue of expanding their social network. It has also come out clearly from my fellow Senators that it is in the school environment that the learners get the proper language and there is no other opportunity or avenue. From what Senators have said, deaf learners should be given the opportunity to learn the language so that they do not miss out in any way. Madam ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: come to this House will address all these issues we have talked about. It will address the SEE, the KSL and all upcoming issues with regard to language needs of the deaf. Madam Temporary Speaker, apart from sign language, I have been pricked to go ahead and think of other Bills that will help more than just the deaf community. This is because I am not here to represent the deaf, but all PWDs in the country. I want to do it with a passion and give it my best. I am sure that with the help of my fellow ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I will be very brief. The Committee that went to Canada for this Conference did a commendable job. It was not waste of resources. Educational for sustainable development is a very important theme in any country. It is only with education that a country can achieve sustainable development. view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: I hope the team that represented us in the Conference learnt a lot that will improve our education system. The theme of education and governance is equally important to us. We can only have sustainable education if there is good governance. The issue of political good is cardinal in any education system. view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the team also talked about Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). This is also something very important to borrow, because not everyone will go through the education system vertically. This will help them acquire skills that can help them, so that they can be self employed. Since not everyone can be employed, self employment is very important. So, TVET institutions will give an opportunity to Form Four and Class Eight leavers to do something. Madam Temporary Speaker, for different reasons some children are not able to proceed to secondary schools. Such children can join TVET institutions ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Indeed, it is important for the House to adjourn to give Senators time to engage with their constituents. As Senators engage with constituents, they express themselves. Self expression is a constitutional requirement. We will listen to our constituents and return with plenty of information for Motions, Statements and Petitions because the House needs to listen to the people since they are sovereign. This will be a chance for me to engage with my constituents. I hope to engage with Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and in the process be able ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I want to congratulate Sen. Mwaruma for this Petition and the petitioners from Mwatate. Land is an important factor of production. When you have land, you can develop it hence create employment for the youths. That land can even attract tourists and tourism is a big venture that adds to the economy of the said land hence the locals can benefit from that. Sen. Mwaruma has done something commendable by advising his people to bring a Petition for it to be heard in the Senate. These people did not go ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: whoever signed them should be brought to book for him to say the circumstances that led him into signing them. The vulnerable people always have issues. We have cases where people with a lot of money grab public land and that should not be the case. Let us look at how we can help the residents of Mwatate for them to get back their land and when we do that, they will say that the Senate intervened. view
