• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Men, please, be careful. You are taking advantage of these young girls because they do not have uniforms and are easily excitable; they want to pass for over 18 years old. Ujue huyo ni under 18 bwana, so that you are safe. This is because you do not want that to be done to your daughter. Also, women should not take advantage of ‘Ben 10s’; young boys because they are excited. Some women have money and are bored because they have quarreled with their families. As I conclude, there has been a debate about sex education in this country. I ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: and Facebook. I want to urge our parents to avoid giving children phones, so that we protect this generation. What are they doing with phones? No lessons are coming through the phones. I also support Sen. Cherargei on the fact that we do not need to go the Magufuli way. If they have already gotten children or are pregnant, let them go back to school and rebuild their lives. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much, Senator. Your time is up. The next Statements are from Sen. Sakaja and Sen. (Dr.) Langat. However, we will not have a debate. Sen. Cherargei’s Statement stands committed to the relevant Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations. Sen. Sakaja, kindly, proceed. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate the Senators who represented us through this Committee. We followed the proceedings. I congratulate them because they did not allow themselves to be persuaded by the court of public opinion. They have prosecuted this matter based on its own merit.

• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to congratulate my worthy competitor, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, for having been elected unanimously to the position of Deputy Speaker of the Senate. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: I came to know Sen. (Prof.) Kamar when I attended a session while presenting a petition through Hon. Eugene Wamalwa, concerning the rights for persons with albinism in the National Assembly. She was actually the one on the Chair. I think she took over from Hon. Gitobu Imanyara, if she can remember. I really admired how she conducted the business of the House. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: When we came to the Senate, I asked her that we lobby together and end up in the Speaker’s Panel together. Truth be told, she got it and now she has risen to the substantive position of Deputy Speaker. I also rightfully note that she has been the one who has been conducting a lot of Senate business in the Plenary when the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker are not there. Congratulations! view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also note this is not the first time she is serving in Parliament. She served many other times including being a Member of the inaugural East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). So, she has a lot of experience, temperament and sobriety to superintend and preside over this House. I congratulate her. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Having said that, my bid espoused the aspirations of younger people - I was the youngest in that group of five - and also Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). The PwDs also need to be represented in the higher echelons of Parliament. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: I hope that in future, this will be the case; that we shall see younger people and PWDs being Speakers, Deputy Speakers and Majority Leaders, so that we can show the true spirit of our Bill of Rights as enshrined in Article 54 of the Constitution and Article 81 in terms of fair representation. view
