• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the person who asked the question reminds you for the answer, it means there is something to be afraid of. I just want to give a quick clarification on the matter on Nakuru where street children were taken in the dead of the night, dumped into a forest in Baringo because they looked like they come from one part of the country. Six of them still cannot be found; they were around 60 children. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Committee we started working on this matter. We have listened to the Street Families Rehabilitation Trust, the ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Certainly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a matter that has taken some time. The workers are owed around Kshs1.18 billion because of working for 30 or more months without pay. A Receiver Manager does not just come in and immediately sack people. Therefore, we shall take this matter up. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first thing to do is to invite the union as well as the Receiver Manager promptly. view

• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this just came to mind when the Senator was speaking because every time, I see him, I think about Kakamega. There was a taskforce that was led by the Governor of Kakamega.

We will first summon the taskforce to come and tell us whether its recommendations are being implemented before ... view

• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very interesting Statement, because it raises a number of issues that are deeper than just the deployment of officers. While the Committee is looking into the questions asked, the first thing that we need to hear from the Committee is that the Ministry should tell us what has been the effect, over the years, that they have been implementing these changes when exams are being done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a few years ago, we would always hear about cancellation of entire results from a school because of cheating, and it happened to ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: For now, tough situations call for tough measures. Let the police, as they are there, be amicable. Let them know where their focus is, and not intimidate the children. In fact, I have seen the photos of the police officers with the children. As much security protocols may not allow it, I think it is a good thing.
