• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: The reason we are here is because Gov. Waititu was charged before a court of law. The charges are severe as it has been demonstrated even if we are not supposed to canvass these matters because they are before the court of law. 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
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the role of the Senate is not to sanitise governors--- view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was quite shocked when the Governor of Kiambu, Hon. Ferdinand Waititu, read my tweets as part of his concluding observations. I do not want to deny because I did it but I did it after we had voted not to accept his evidence. From what he submitted, it appears as if I had already judged that the case is closed but that was not the case. It was about the admissibility of evidence. At the same time, I am also on record because it is not a matter of public conjecture that I have opposed Gov. ... view

• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement by my colleague and fellow Senator representing PWDs, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. From the word, go, I congratulate all PWDs and their allies on the celebration of the International Day of PWDs. This day is celebrated every 3rd of December across the world. Earlier on, we used to celebrate it as a national event alone in Nairobi or in some other location. Today, people in Kibwezi in Makueni County are doing that. I am very glad that it has now become a matter of counties. I ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every place has mud. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was a guest there to honour the day. Every place has mud, but Kiambu has more mud than other places. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Possibly it delineates the challenges of PWDs because when there is this kind of terrain, they are not able to navigate properly because of issues of accessibility. In fact, this morning I was privileged to officiate an event that we are organising about assistive technology between the United Kingdom (UK) and the Kenyan Government as a follow up commitment to the Global Disability Summit that we had last year in London. What we are doing, as the Chair of the advisory board is that, we are looking for innovations that will help PWDs to have affordable, but quality assistive technologies ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: not durable. Therefore, we need to look at issues of disabilities clearly as a legitimate constituency that needs to be facilitated and represented properly. When I look at the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Report led by Sen. Haji, I have heard a lot of complaints about PWDs not getting prominence when people were at Bomas of Kenya. I was not there because I was not in the country. However, PWDs expected that one of them would speak, so that they can see people who look like them and hear from them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are still under that ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very great day and I hope that Senators will find time to celebrate their own constituents with disabilities, in the spirit of leaving no one behind and also to join our clarion call: “Nothing about us, without us.” I support. view
