• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a cancer survivor, my appeal is that each county government and the national Government should take the issue of cancer seriously and ensure that there are policies in place that support people with cancer in terms of treatment, palliation, prosthesis, and wigs. The county government needs to have a plan. Each county government needs to put in its yearly plan an initiative they are going to do for cancer survivors, so that they live long life. If they are given the opportunity – and I am a testimony - they can be productive. I know ... view

• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because of the nature of this Motion and given that it has national and international impact, I request that we do not conclude debate on it today. I request that we carry the debate to the next Sitting, so that Members can ventilate on it and enrich the Bill from the National Assembly. We need to enact a law that will help cancer survivors and patients in this country. view

• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is Standing Order No.105. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. Khaniri. It is very clear that COVID-19 has had a terrible impact on all forms of life. A case that is less spoken about is its effects on food security. Even before the pandemic started, there were already locusts that had invaded parts of our country and affected production of food. During this COVID-19 time, we have had curfews all over and this has had a toll on our farmers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many times when farmers have been transporting. I know ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need for us to do an analysis of the impact of COVID- 19 on our farmers. Many times, we ignore our farmers. We have to look for mechanisms of encouraging our farmers because they play a very big role when it comes to issues of food security. It is just in good faith and breath that this Statement that Sen. Khaniri has brought on the Floor of this House is taken with the seriousness it deserves. The issues of accessibility are very important. I have gone to Gambogi and seen farmers selling a basket full ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I stand to support the Statement by Sen. Pareno. This Statement should be taken with a lot of seriousness because, indeed, wildlife is very important. We need wildlife because of the economic effects in terms of tourism, and how much income it can generate to our economy. In as much as we need wildlife, we have to strike a balance, so that we have a win-win situation for both human beings and wildlife. There is need for co-existence of wildlife and human beings. Children should not be afraid of going to school ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura. He has come up with a very important Statement concerning children with developmental issues. When one goes to the ground and sees families of these children, they go through harrowing moments because these children need a lot of attention. Especially during these COVID-19 times, parents have had a rough time because these children need medicine and physiotherapy. They are very expensive to maintain. There is need for the Government to come up with a mechanism of ensuring that they ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Caregivers of children with autism are the ones who even suffer most because of the psychosocial impact. Most of the time, they are even discriminated by their relatives and the society. Sometimes when they are being introduced, you will find somebody asking whether the person is the mother of a child with autism, cerebral palsy and all that because there is already a name tag. There is need for the Government to look for ways of sensitizing the entire society so that they help parents or caregivers of children with autism. Even the children themselves go through harrowing moments. Nobody ... view
