• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this important Motion. I support this Bill because I know it will reduce the burden of parents and make counties develop faster. As I contribute, I do so with very low spirits simply because my county, Kakamega, does not have a public university. I support the sponsor of the Bill because it will make my county of origin benefit from equal distribution of these institutions. I also support because the distance that students have to travel to join universities is giving parents a big burden ... view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion. I thank the Mover of the Motion, Sen. Abdirahman, who is a Member of our political party. Indeed, it is so saddening that as a country, we are not taking education seriously. I urge the Jubilee Government to invest seriously in education. Education is the backbone and it reminds me the hardship that I face when lobbying for employment of persons with disability. As the Constitution and the Disability Act provide, 5 per cent of job opportunities must be reserved for people with disability. ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to welcome the elders who have visited this House. I feel so proud to see elders take the initiative of learning what is happening in the current management of the country.

• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the Petition because I am very passionate about the cancer menace. This is because when you look at the causes of disability, cancer is one of them. We are losing many people through cancer. We are also getting an increased number of persons with disabilities with amputated arms or limbs view
• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chair for the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare because he has also gone an extra mile to add some of the challenges that the group of severely disabled people is facing. I expected that after giving us a number of issues and challenges, he should also give us an equal number of plans or strategies that the Government will use to alleviate these challenges. The issue of signing a contract with the new pay service provider, is raising a lot of issues because the beneficiaries are complaining because of only one ... view
• 5 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on delay of cash transfer to persons with disability before we went on recess. I would like to know when he will respond to my Statement. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I want to thank the Mover of this Bill because the Bill touches on Kenyans. Since ancient times, Kenyans have been benefiting from the blessings that God has given them in different regions of the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when you visit most areas where natural resources are being exploiting, you will find that people living around there live in poverty. You wonder when their living standards will be improved and who will come to their rescue. The Mining Act of 1940 is very old and outdated. It is high ... view
