• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. From the onset, I rise to support this Bill. It is very interesting to note that the people who make these children pregnant are allowed to continue with their life, but the children are left to suffer. We come from a culture where even certain communities encourage children who are underage to be married. I think that it is very important to ensure that a child who finds themselves in this predicament is not condemned. I am deliberately saying ‘she’ if it is a question of a boy impregnating a girl, the boy will ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: and then there are teenage girls who trying to find their own identity, they define themselves on the grownups around them. This is something that also needs to be put here so that the protection does not just happen after a child is pregnant. There needs to be a Clause there so that these teachers are also taken care of. We have had this conversation before. You find that a teacher – Dr. Milgo is an educationist - impregnates a child and they are left to go scot free. The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Teachers Service ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have gone through this Report. To be honest, the MCAs could have done better. These are just mere allegations stating that the county assembly was misled. Even if you decide to impeach somebody, have some substance. Just show us you also sat down and reasoned. To be very honest, there is no substance here. Since you talked about the issue of budget misappropriation, who is in charge of the budget? Is it not the MCAs? When you talk about a task force; the governor can actually establish a task force. If you talk about ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the things about leadership is that those who survive are not necessarily the most intelligent or the most strong--- view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will add me a minute or so, because Sen. Cherargei was not on a point of order, but on a point of argument. We all know Granton Samboja from the time of Citizen Radio . He is a not a budding artist; he is a seasoned artist. In fact, the reason he was elected is because he was very popular with Anguo FM, which broadcasts in the Taita language. Therefore, right now, he needs to realise that he should not continue deejaying, but be seriously serving the people of Taita-Taveta County. May he play that music ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 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
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Therefore, this is a warning to anybody, that the work of a county governor is a serious endeavour and undertaking. You are the small president of your people, and you represent the wishes and aspirations of the mama mboga on the ground. Therefore, you have to be in touch with these people. I know that the media plays a very critical role in trying to market us. Media can make or break you, but be a little bit more serious in the way in which you take up your job. This is because when you look at some of these ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning the delay in disbursement of capitation funds for learners with special needs. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) Explain the reason why the Government has delayed in disbursing capitation to learners with special needs, including the learners at Thika School for the Blind, which is currently owed Kshs13 million. (2) State when the funds will be disbursed. (3) Explain what measures are in place to ensure that the funds are disbursed punctually in the future. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. It is well captured by Julius Kambarage Nyerere where he said that in Tanzania, more than 100 tribal units lost their freedom but one nation regained it. He further says “we spoke and acted as if given the opportunity to serve Government, we would quickly create utopias instead injustices and tyranny is rampant”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I look at the African States, we are having a serious problem. Before independence, as the former President of Tanzania said, only tribes existed as nations and then they created ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: As this Committee embarks to investigate this matter, they need to be objective. We had the impeachment case of Makueni but now it is a showcase for success for devolution because devolution is the real revolution. I think we want to ask the Committee Members to listen to both sides, because what is presented before this August House---. view
