• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Just briefly to touch on the two issues. When it comes to the issue of IEBC--- view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to comment on the two issues. One is on the issue of the IEBC. The reality on the ground is that there is extreme voter lethargy when it comes to registering as voters. So, there is need for the IEBC to extend this process by even two months so that there is mobilization of people in the counties to register as voters. I remember when I was in Lugari, I moved from one ward to another and I found that people were not keen on registering. This is bad because they are denying themselves their ... view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Petition. This Petition is valid and I thank Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko for bringing up the issue that is happening in his county. It is an issue that is happening everywhere else in almost all the 47 counties. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: It is unfortunate that we keep talking about mainstreaming persons with disabilities but in the real sense, when it comes to implementing, it becomes zero rated. It is unfortunate that people still view persons with disabilities from a charity perspective where they need to get handouts, but when it comes to these persons with disabilities being given an opportunity to work like everybody else, they are not given an opportunity. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfortunate that you see persons with disabilities either on wheelchairs, white canes or crutches but in their minds, they are able to work like everybody else but they are not given opportunities. Even when money is set aside in some counties, it does not benefit persons with disabilities (PWDs) but they are used as rubberstamps. We hear that this money is allocated to PWDs but when you go to the real PWDs themselves, they are not given any allocation. Even when they need to do business, you find that in some county governments, they are ... view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfortunate that Kenya signed and ratified the convention on PWDs globally but when it comes to adhering to it, it becomes a big issue. Most awareness seen in the country is when PWDs are being given wheelchairs. However, a wheelchair would not bring food on their table. There is need for all counties to have a sustainable way to insure everybody because PWDs are deserving and have the brains to do all jobs including desk jobs and many other jobs. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Another point is that you find in most counties do disability mainstreaming and they have no people doing the work. We need interpreters and the deaf to be employed including those on wheel chairs and the visually impaired so that they are economically viable. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe. He has brought on the Floor of this House an emotive Petition concerning the Samburu people. This Petition is about historical injustices that must be corrected. There were wrongs even before pre-colonial times, Independence and the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution that need to be corrected. The Samburu people approached Hon. Moody Awori when he was in a position to help them, but the issue was not corrected. Now that we have the Constitution 2010, which provides for devolution, the petitioners have a right to ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern. view
