• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. in order to insinuate that I partook in any way whatsoever to the nomenclature of Committees where some Committees are regarded as lucrative? I was one of, if not the fairest and most objective person, when it came to Committees. Can he withdraw and apologise? view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for bringing this Statement. I salute the teachers of the world wherever they are; those in ECD, primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. We are all a product of teachers. Each one of us, irrespective of our professions, are a product of men and women who nurtured and made us what we are today. We salute our teachers and thank them for the sacrifices they continue to make in nurturing our children and shaping the destiny of our country and of the world. I take this opportunity to decry the low levels ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Kenya is unlike so many countries. In many countries with developed education systems and long traditions in public education, Early Childhood Education teachers are very highly paid. In fact, they are paid more than teachers in primary and secondary schools because their tasks are more complex and the kind of professionalism required to nurture young children is much more than nurturing bigger children. I hope this is an area we will look at. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since ECD is devolved, this House should come with a policy guideline on county governments so that the terms and conditions for teachers ... view

(Dr.) Ali, for living true and being faithful this professional calling and bringing this Bill on the welfare of our medical personnel across the country.

Many of the most qualified medics are abandoning the profession for other things after realizing that nobody appreciates their many years of sacrifice in school. I have so many examples. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I support ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: After seven years of hard work as a dentist, he had to quit working at Level 4 Hospital in Maragua in Murang’a County, two years ago, to go and set up a grocery shop, selling some merchandise in town. Why? It was because of low salaries and no equipment. In fact, one of the things that made Dr. Gacheri Thuku to leave Maragua Hospital was the lack of a dental chair, a basic equipment for a dentist. Madam Temporary Speaker, we speak with a lot of agony even as we look at where we are taking this country, especially with ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Bill for the several reasons. One, it provides a legal framework to enable the private sector to participate in national development. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Secondly, it strengthens the existing PPP unit, which has been in existence for many years, headed by a Mr. Kamau who is the secretary. Unfortunately, they have never pushed through a single project to conclusion for the last ten years. We hope the new institutional framework will speed up the process. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thirdly, this Bill will remove the opaque nature of procurement processes with regard to PPPs. It will not be an overstatement to say that a lot of development corruption has taken place under the guise of pushing for PPP projects. view
