• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to join you in welcoming Mwaghogho Secondary School to the Senate. We have a bi-cameral Parliament made up of the Senate and the National Assembly. We are now in the Senate. I can see my friend, Rono. Feel welcome. During my time when I was learning how to teach young people and adults - that is called andragogy - I came across something called experiential learning. What you are doing is experiential learning, that is, learning through experience. In experiential learning, you need to reflect what you are seeing here and what happens in ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations is not in the House, I will proceed to make my intervention.

• 30 May 2019 in Senate: The people of Teri B Group Ranch end up without food which is against the Big Four Agenda of President Uhuru Kenyatta of ensuring that Kenya is food secure. Another observation that was made by the Committee was that there are reported cases of proliferation of small arms and light weapons in the area which is inimical to the spirit of integration and peaceful co-existence.

• 30 May 2019 in Senate: The Committee further recommended the NPS should enhance the crime reporting mechanism through the local administration, the police officers and the county government officials. The reporting mechanism is fine. The only problem is the reluctance of the police officers and the security organs to facilitate peaceful co- existence of the people of Teri B Ranch. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these recommendations are generic and they may not help the residents of Teri B Ranch attain peace. Most of the recommendations here might not help the people of Teri B Ranch. The Senate through the Committee should dig further into this matter. ... view

• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this issue. I was to request for a Statement on the same because some head teachers in Taita Taveta have been interdicted. Some of those head teachers were sick hence they were unable to attend the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) training. The sad part is that they have already been replaced by other head teachers. What would happen if casualties are written yet those teachers have been replaced? There is a crisis and we need to nib it at the bud before it goes out ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the petition by the residents of Teri B Ranch. The petition was brought through me, and I am happy that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations has worked expeditiously to look at the issues that were raised by the residents of Teri B Ranch. I must say that I have not read the Report. Apart from the fact that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations visited the residents of Teri B Ranch, I have not been invited to any other ... view
