• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We discussed a lot about this matter yesterday. There was a directive that the Committee should give something tangible to this House because there is a crisis. You cannot interdict half the teachers of a zone. Their salaries have been stopped and those who were promoted to replace the interdicted head teachers are unable to report to the schools because of the circumstances surrounding this matter. Today, is the 14th day from the day when the Committee was told to report back. Therefore, the days they were given have expired and we have not heard ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming Kangaru Girls High School. We used to hear about Kangaru Girls High School when we were in secondary school.

I am sure that they are here to learn about leadership and Parliament; particularly the Senate. Please, pick out what you can learn and promise yourself that one day, you will be somebody in this country. Whatever you learn today will be of help to you. I thank ... view

• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have noted that the contribution by Sen. Were and Sen. Orengo on the issue of having an odd number for the commissioners. Maybe it does not come out clearly, but our intention was that the commission should have four members plus the chairperson to make up a total of five. If that does not come out well, we shall consider that as the Committee Stage. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: I appreciate a good example that was given by Sen. Sakaja and I wish that we had that spirit as a country.

That is the kind of cohesion that we would be happy to have in this country. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sakaja mentioned that we should ensure in this Bill, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) should not be an appendage to any department of Government.

That is very good contribution. Initially, as l made my remarks, I noted that there is a directorate on national values and principles that is at the President‘s Office, dealing with cohesion matters, yet ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: to the commission from the counties should be considered. There should also be inclusion of programmes on peace in the counties as already indicated. We already have peace committees in existence. As usual, Sen. Kwamboka, was fighting for the youth. She said the way this Bill is drafted does not cover the interests of the youth. For any serious country, we have to think about how our youths can direct their energies in right direction. Most of the time when there is conflict, it is the youth that are involved. It will be good to involve them in this cohesion ... view
