• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have also looked at the adolescent reproductive healthcare development policy which was done sometime in 2003. There was an implementation assessment report done by the Ministry of Health together with other sponsors. This was done in May, 2013 and it shows that what I am talking about is real and not imagined. It just needs to be improved. I wish to table both the policy and the assessment report. view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have based my research on the adolescents from Nandi, Samburu and Busia. These are reports conducted by various institutions that support the fact that these children have been exposed to a lot of suffering. There is also a study done in Korogocho. These reports will be useful for this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, I had indicated about the tribunal but after a lot of consultation and consideration, the tribunal shall be deleted in this Bill because the medical practitioners have given me feedback that they have enough institutions which can handle any disputes according to the ... view
• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this Bill and second it. This is a very important Bill as the Mover, the Senate Majority Leader, has stated and it should be disseminated to the entire country. It protects the human rights of Kenyans and everybody must know that they have a right to be heard, and to access all important documents that affect them. The Bill seeks to protect Kenyans from their rights being violated. I would have used the word “abuse” because it is still abuse but let it be “from being violated.” ... view

• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate:- Report on the Public Finance Management Equalisation Fund Guidelines 2015. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this shocking episode. First and foremost, I send heartfelt condolences to the people of Garissa and friends, relatives and all sympathizers, following the attack. Security is becoming a real thorny issue in our country. The Government seems to have invested heavily, but it is not enough and it needs to do more. Just the other day Safaricom won a tender. I wonder what it has done so far. Are they just tapping our phones or what is happening? By now we should be seeing results and engaging ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a good Bill and it gives the country an opportunity to strengthen its security which has been wanting and has been under attack, especially by the bad people called terrorists. This Bill will go a great deal in trying to control terrorism. I would urge the government to give women priority in recruitment of police reservists because women are within the vulnerable groups and I will explain why. Within the pastoralist society you find that when men have gone to herd cattle, women are left and they are vulnerable. They know what ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a reservist what a man can do a woman can do better. I am of the considered opinion that if trained, it depends on which area, they can still do the duty. We have seen many areas where the population is high – even if someone is whispering here that the terrains are difficult, they still go up and down - so they can assist. Why not give them an opportunity? That is why I am saying “what the men can do, the women can do better.” It will make a difference. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very sad thing. The incidences of insecurity are getting out of hand. Apart from harassing women and innocent young girls in the streets, matatus and everywhere else, they are now invading our Chambers and selecting one of us. Today, it is Sen. Hassan Omar. Tomorrow, it will be you or someone else. You wonder where we are coming from, where we are headed and what we, as a nation, want. Mr. Speaker, Sir, elections are at the corner. How will we be treated? Will we leave our houses to go and campaign? ... view
