• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am conversant. I was following the proceedings. I shall make any further clarifications to the Senator. I had earlier assumed, just as it has been asked, that it was a matter within the Chamber, which is generally a matter of House privilege. However, the clarification is given that it involves the outside. That gives us the mandate to look into it as a Committee. We will take action. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Chamber will make us very fit. Indeed, there is concern about the rising levels of insecurity across the country. Even in view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: our last sitting, many Members brought questions especially on matters dealing with human-wildlife conflict, herders, farmers, and so on. As a Committee, because of the huge number of statements, we agreed administratively to transmit them, but we will invite Members to one sitting where we shall have the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and Coordination of National Government, Dr. Matiang’i, his Principal Secretary (PS) and the Inspector-General of Police to answer all these questions. I urge all Members who have raised Statements to avail themselves. We will communicate in good time. view

• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Yes. We normally agree on a date with them because of the nature of their office. They are not always in Nairobi. We have found a rhythm on how they agree on dates. Within the next 21 days, we will have had that sitting with the entire House. view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not want to interrupt Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, but I have heard her saying “lastly.” When she said lastly, I felt hurt and dismayed that she had thanked the Committee on Education but forgot her own Committee on Labour and Social Welfare which has been supporting the issue of the deaf. She is a Member of that Committee, whose Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are here. You know that a prophet might not be recognised in their own home. Could she, please, not finish making her contribution before she notes that the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve continues to distinguish herself as the true and foremost champion for Persons Living with Disabilities (PWDs). For the short time that I have been in Parliament – this is my second term – I have not seen a Member representing the interest group that they have been nominated to represent as well as Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. If we are talking about any topic, even agriculture, she will ask, “What about PWDs?” I want the entire community of interest in the country to know that, indeed, they have a true champion of their issues. Madam ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in the primary school which I attended, we had a Deaf Unit. In that Deaf Unit, as much as the children would take much longer to go through Class One to Eight; they would take 12 to 15 years, but at the end of the day, you could see that they would come out as intelligent and with the same abilities as the children who are able to hear properly. We want a society where everybody, no matter how you were born, has an equal opportunity and a fair shot at life. That must be done by ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, and for thanking the Committee that you had forgotten because you are a Member. People would just suddenly stop getting trips and 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
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: things just happen when you forget your Committee, but you are now back in the good books of the Chairperson. view
