• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I ask for your indulgence, I give my Statement first so that I can attend to another meeting that is in relation to my responsibility as the Senate Majority Leader. That is if you do not mind. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order 52(1), I hereby present to the Senate, the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 21st May, 2019. I take this opportunity to welcome you back from the 31 days recess. I hope you enjoyed the time spent with family, friends and your constituents. During the recess, the Senate also participated in the Annual Legislative Summit 2019 in Kisumu County. I thank all Senators who attended and participated at various levels in the Summit. Hon. Senators, subject to further directions by the Senate Business Committees (SBC), the Senate ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: 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
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues and Sen. Dullo in saying that this matter needs to be handled with soberness and urgently. A child who gets a mean grade of D+ in Mandera cannot be compared with a child who gets a B+ in Alliance High School. The D+ of those students, who go to those local schools, with few teachers, can be measured to a C+. We must recognize that when Article 10 of the Constitution says that there is need for equity in this Republic, it is to treat each person depending on their circumstances and situation. ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the Committee to take this matter seriously, and particularly the inconsistency in policy making. We are not saying that would be okay if they stuck with C- at that point in time. However, it is neither good nor right that we have policies that are changed midstream; that our policies, as a country, are as good 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
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: as the person who sits in office. Then we miss the point, because this Senate knows the importance of institutional memory and building institutions. That is why we are saying we respect the mandate of every institution across the country, including the TSC and the Ministry of Education. However, that should not be used to disadvantage those who come from ASAL areas. I hope that the Committee will meet with the Cabinet Secretary and the TSC. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us not also hide behind the independence of institutions. Yes, we agree that these institutions are independent; but, at the same time, when the Ministry is determined to get something out of them, it will get it. That is true, whether it is the commissions we thought were independent, including oversight institutions. When the Executive wants to get something through them, they will get it. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Therefore, if the Executive wants to get the support of the TSC to help the people of ASAL areas, nothing is so easy. The CS just needs to work with those institutions, because they are funded by the same Government and work under the same Government and are domiciled in particular ministries of the Government. Let us not hide behind the independence of institutions to continue disenfranchising disadvantaged communities. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I repeat that the reason many people are worried about the Senate; the reason why some characters are attacking the Senate is because they know that they cannot match the quality that is in this House. It is because they are suffering from inferiority complex. We know their mental capacities, and we have stomached it for a long. They must be told as it is; that their inferiority complex must not be used to undermine institutions. I, therefore, hope that this House will rise to the occasion to continue demonstrating to these characters that this House will ... view
