• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even as we thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Education for that good report, I would like to make a few observations. I beg for your indulgence and that of the secretariat to give a way forward to the House. On 1st December, 2021, the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare tabled a report on the same matter. That was on labour issues around ECDE teachers. The biggest challenge they have across the country are labour issues. They do not have a harmonized scheme of service implemented and different counties have different standards. You will ... view

• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in our report, we have similar recommendations. As the Chairperson has noted, there was a working document that was done by the CoG together with the SRC and the TSC for the schemes of service for ECDE teachers which has not been formalized. The CoG was given three weeks to submit that document to the Senate for presentation, so that it could be considered and ratified. Once we consider and ratify that working document, then it will be binding to the counties. Thereafter, instead of just asking different counties to budget, because other counties would love ... view

• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir.

However, our work is not to be angry but to provide solutions. What is happening in this area of domestic workers is really disheartening. There is a Bill that I brought in 2015, that we passed that created The National Employment Authority that I thought was working as it should. Instead of just looking at external domestic labour migration, even locally, it was supposed to be like ... view

• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: riders was something different. Mr Temporary Speaker, yesterday I saw a video of Kenyans stealing rice from a truck that had overturned. Decent people stealing sacks of rice and other food stuffs. There was a smartly dressed lady whose husband had opened the boot of their car for her to bring and the person recording was asking why they were stealing. There is a serious breakdown in our society. We must do soul searching as a country. We have become competitive to a fault. We have no regard for other people. If you want to know the state of a ... view

• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have heard colleagues talking to their Personal Assistants (PAs). You can go under the table if you hear how people here talk to their staff. They talk to them as though they are slaves. If you talk to a professional parliamentary officer like that, how do you talk to your househelp at home? Why do you get shocked when this happens? The former Speaker of the House of Commons, my friend, Mr. Bercow, has been banned for life from accessing the House of Commons because of bullying. Do we discuss bullying in the work place? ... view
