• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: a good job. We should nurture talent. Coming up with stadia is a way of nurturing talent. Everybody cannot excel in academics hence we should nurture those who have talents. We have youths who are good in football, netball, volleyball and so on. If we nurture their talents, they can bring glory to this country. All stadia must include facilities for players with disability. The East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Inter Parliamentary games included activities for PwDs such as darts. The PwDs were happy to play. This time, they did not go there as cheerleaders but they went there as ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we must be candid in ensuring whatever projects we initiate in our counties are inclusive in all levels. Let us ensure that there is inclusivity in sports and academia. The other day, I saw many Members of Parliament (MPs) participating in EALA sports in Arusha and they were enjoying. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: We also had members of staff, not just MPs. They were very happy to play with us. Therefore, sports is a valuable commodity because it serves us both mentally and physically. We relax when we engage in sports and physical exercises. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: During the Musuruve Tournament in Lugari Constituency, youth come out in large number to participate in games and cheer their groups. When they are active in sports, they have no time to involve themselves in illicit activities like abusing bhang and other substance simply because their minds are occupied. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, when we engage them in sports and nurture them well, they can get out of the ward level and participate in national and even international level. We have seen many sports people emerging from the county level and participating in international tournaments and winning medals. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: I have seen quite a number of our sporting teams, especially from North Rift region, they go out of the country, participate in various sports and win medals. As I said, sports are noble activities that must be embraced by all county governors. I plead with them to set aside budgets for sports activities in counties. I am surprised that many county governors do not factor sporting activities in their budgets. We should be having sports activities in counties where they engage county executives and their staff. We have Senators and Members of National Assembly who engage in sports every ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, as much as sporting activities are devolved, county governments do not allocate adequate resources in order for them to engage many youth as possible. Not only the youth, but they can also engage even members of staff in various sporting activities in their stadiums. I support this thought and hope that Hon. Kananu, the current Governor of Nairobi City County will do her best to complete what Hon. Sonko started in this great county. I also urge governors to ensure there are stadia in their different constituencies. Stadia are very important in our country for the wellbeing ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also thank Sen. Sakaja for the reports to the petitions that he has presented. I would like to bring to the Floor of this House that Sen. Sakaja has talked about the Matendechere issue. Mr. Matendechere is helpless and needs somebody, like the Senate, to hold his hand. The case that Sen. Sakaja has mentioned is in court, is actually not in court. I spoke to him and he mentioned that he has never been summoned, given a notice, nobody has called him and he is just wallowing ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to make a Statement on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. I rise pursuant to Standing Order pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern; namely, the International Day of Persons With Disabilities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the world marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) every 3rd of December. The annual observance of this day was proclaimed in 1992 by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution No.47(3) with the aim to increase the awareness of the issue faced ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: was earlier on restricted by societal negative perception on disability. Key milestones such as the introduction and management of Educational Assessment Research Centres (EARCs), the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), secondary schools, primary schools and Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres across the country that deal with learners with disabilities cannot be wished away. I urge the Government of Kenya and all governments globally to prioritize the education of learners with disabilities by allowing funds to go to special needs education in order to cater for infrastructure, maintenance, purchase of learning materials for Special Needs Education (SNE) and ensuring ... view
