• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to also welcome the students. Indeed, you have made a wise decision to come and see what happens in Parliament, especially in the Senate. We want to encourage you to work hard, learn and understand what you are being taught. Remember those strict Christian and good traditional family values that you have been taught. You are the future leaders and you should aim high to pursue any career of your choice. You can be doctors, lawyers like me, and even professionals like your lecturers. The space is always open. You are welcome and you can ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as they give the Statement, could the Cabinet Secretary also state how many of those deaths are of women and maternity related? Are there also infants dying? We want to know the statistics. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately the Cabinet Secretary(CS) did not attend the meeting as was expected because he had to go to State House even though he called me. The Statement was not availed and we did not discuss. I have informed the Senator who sought it and we could avail it in two weeks’ time if so allowed. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer is not satisfactory at all. It is a bit vague--- view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the explanation, is a bit vague and not giving any specific period. Any time is no time. The situation is still bad, children are still dying, day and night, and women are also dying. It is a pathetic situation. How possible is it, even hygienically, that four women who just delivered are sharing a bed? Concerning the ruling you gave yesterday, this House should give the sanctions, because this matter is not being treated properly as it deserves. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I undertake to inquire and I request the Chair, if I can be allowed, one more week to give a response. view

I have been a champion and advocate for the girl child for many years. You are in the right place. We want you to be very good girls. Work hard. You are future leaders. Currently in the world, the space is for women in the present and the future. You will make better leaders. Understand what you are studying. You can achieve anything. You can become lawyers, doctors, engineers but also take up leadership positions wherever you are; ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important and serious issue. It is sad and disheartening to see what is going on in this country. We, leaders or adults appear to be helpless. I wonder what the State is doing about it. This is beyond individual institutions or the school heads to handle. At the rate at which it is happening, it looks as if there is coordination or something similar. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for adding me time. I strongly believe and I know I am not wrong. Social media or mobile phones have a major role to play in all these things. It is high time we controlled the access of mobile phones and the social media. Why should children have mobile phones while in school? When President Obama was here, we witnessed cases where internet was inactivated and in some cases phone calls could not go through. Why can that not be done in schools? If children have to access the internet, they should have particular ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to join in extending the warm welcome to my learned friends from Zimbabwe. We have had a very good interactive session. We learnt a lot from them and they have also learnt a lot from us. They are gender sensitive. The Affirmative Action Bill or Gender Role Bill that is in the Order Paper today is already being practiced in Zimbabwe as from the year 2013.
