• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for her election as the Deputy Speaker of the Senate of Kenya. She brings with her a lot of experience. She is well schooled and has the correct disposition to deputize you. I read her Curriculum Vitae (CV) and saw that she is one of the people who went to Beijing, along with Prof. Margaret Sanger to fight for space for the women. I am happy that she is benefiting from whatever she fought for in 1995. As a person who believes in women leadership, I think ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii ili kuchangia Taarifa hii ambayo ilimeletwa hapa na Sen. Faki. Taarifa hii inahusu usafirishaji wa mizigo kutoka Mombasa hadi sehemu zingine nchini kwa kutumia Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) na malori. Mwaka uliopita, viongozi wa Mombasa walikutana na Katibu Mkuu na wakakubaliana juu ya usafirishaji wa mizigo kutoka bandari ya Momabasa. Walikubaliana kuwa katika soko huru ni vizuri waache malori na SGR zibebe mizigo kulingana na vile wanabiashara wataamua. Nashangaa kuona wakati huu Katibu Mkuu anatumia COVID-19 ili kuleta Mswada huo. Hii ni kinyume na makubaliano yalikuwa kati ya viongozi na Katibu ... view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wanted to comment on Sen. Were’s Statement, but I did not have that opportunity. I thought we were doing all of them, then we comment at the end. If you allow me, I wish to comment on Sen. Were’s Statement. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you had given the guidelines before we came in and so, I thought that was the guideline. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to comment on the very important Statement by Sen. Were about employment of medical officers by the Public Service Commission (PSC) and yet, the health function is devolved. 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
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Most importantly, I wonder how people who are supposed to do interviews are allowed to go to counties under the current circumstances of cessation of movement. You reckon that movement is not allowed from one county to another, especially in Nairobi, Mombasa and so on. I wonder how these people, who were shortlisted - because they applied online - are facilitated to move to the areas where they are supposed to do the interviews. I would suggest that those people who were shortlisted can show the police commandants or the people who are supposed to facilitate the movement the names ... view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we do not need to lock out many people who are qualified from accessing employment. We should also not disallow the counties that require the services of medics. These are now associate essential service providers, even if they are not yet employed. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by Sen. Kwamboka. We need to know the status of education in our country because it is on its knees. I disagree with the assertion of the CS that learning is going on given the many impediments that arise as a result of low internet and electricity connectivity despite the fact that the Ministry and the Government have done a lot to increase electricity connectivity. However, the truth of the matter on the ground is that most schools are not connected to electricity. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Secondly, I request that as the CS responds to the Statement, let him also tell us what they are doing in terms of policy. You remember that the Ministry is averse or against use of mobile telephony in schools. They said that mobile telephony is very dangerous. I remember in 2014 when I was presenting a paper at Kabarak University on mobile learning and trying to discount the fact that we should ban mobile phones as a tool for learning in schools because they are dangerous. I argued that even a pen like this one can potentially be very dangerous ... view
