Madam Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, this is so that, we do not get ranked like the way we are at the moment. The Global Human Capital Index report of 2017 ranks us 78 below Cameroon and countries like Slovenia and all these other parts of the world. Imagine even Rwanda is ranked higher when it comes to training their people for purposes of skills. The most important thing we must do as a nation is to invest in this area even if we were to export human capital to other parts of the world who have these technical skills. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Sen. Wetangula is so excited about my contribution. First, let me start by congratulating Sen. Iman who has been consistent like Sen. Cheruiyot when it comes to raising issues of social media and technology and how they affect the youth and our children. This is an important Statement because this is a Chamber of debate and a place of discussing matters of national importance. Many Kenyans are watching us and read and refer to things we say here. The most important thing is to create awareness amongst ourselves, parents and children not ...

I would like to suggest this to Sen. Iman. Before the end of this term because we only have one year, she should perhaps think about the best practices used by other countries in the world to protect their children and citizens from harmful activities of social media like pornography, cyberbullying and exposure of children. In the normal way of allowing children to use gadgets, I have a friend who discovered that their child was communicating with pedophiles from other countries who are interested in pornographic materials. They were telling the child to take pictures and videos in a certain ...

Kwa hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Spika. Nina hoja ya nidhamu kulingana na ile lugha ambayo Sen. Madzayo ametumia hapa kwamba tafsiri ya neno

kwa Kiswahili ni kusema kwamba ni kuwa na akili punguani. Je, ni sawa kutumia lugha kama hiyo? Haoni kwamba hiyo ni baadhi ya lugha ambayo inachangia kufanya wananchi wasijitokeze kutafuta suluhu ya magonjwa ya kimawazo? Ingefaa tuseme ya kwamba ni mtu ambaye ana ugonjwa wa kimawazo. Lakini tukisema kwamba huyu ni mtu mwenye akili punguani inamaanisha kwamba ana upungufu wa akili. Tukifanya hivyo, watu wengi wataogopa kujitokeza kusema ya kwamba wao ni wenye akili punguani. Lakini ukisema kwamba mtu ana ugonjwa wa kimawazo, lugha kama hiyo ndiyo itaweza kufanya watu wengi wajitokeze kutafuta suluhu ya kimaisha.

kujifunza. Mara nyingi tumesema ya kwamba kama vile Bunge ya Kitaifa imefanya tayari ya kwamba ile Standing Orders yetu itafsiriwe iwe katika lugha ya Kiswahili ili wengine wetu tupate nafasi ya kujifunza kupitia hizo Standing Orders. Lakini ningependa ndugu yangu Sen. Madzayo akubaliane na mimi ya kwamba ninahisi ya kwamba akili punguani inaweza eleweka na watu huko nje kuwa kama matusi. Ni kama kumuita mtu mwendawazimu. Hata kama mimi sio mkufunzi wa Kiswahili, lugha ambayo inafaa ni kusema ya kwamba mtu ana shida ya afya ya kiakili ama ugonjwa wa kiakili. Lakini tukisema akili punguani, vile ninavyoielewa lugha ya mtaa ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of Kericho Law Courts has been thorny in Kericho and for all practitioners in the South Rift. The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Chapter in Kericho County have been petitioning the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to take action. A lot of outcry has come from lawyers, litigants and citizens from that area. You can imagine the closure of the law courts from 5th March, 2021 up to now and the backlog that has ensued as a result of the same. The information I have is that, apparently, the Kericho Law Courts building was condemned by ...
