• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I commend Sen. Iman for this Statement. Suicide is a big challenge in our country. You pick any of today’s local dailies and you find a suicide issue. This matter is affecting families and now you will find cases where whole families are being wiped out because those who perpetrate the murders end up killing themselves. Some of the causes of this problem are the hard economic times the country is facing, but also the COVID-19 situation has made this problem worse. People staying indoors for many hours and days and dwindling economic fortunes have made people ... view

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Lastly, this suicide challenge is being expedited by the rampant abuse of drugs and substances among our children, especially teenagers. Recent reports have shown that a big number of children are abusing drugs and cytotropic substances. If we are not careful, we will lose a whole generation of young people who would have taken this country to the next level. I agree with Sen. Iman that this is an issue of national importance. As this House notes, this is a problem that requires our collective intervention. I support. view

• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. Sakaja who appears to have gone to the school I went to 30 to 40 years after I had left. Nevertheless, the tradition of the school has remained constant and, therefore, that has nothing to do with his quality. In fact, this Bill is a testament that, indeed, the Senator of Nairobi City is a proud alumnus of the Duke of York School. view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: I wish to start from where my senior Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri has left, that no country in the world can hope to develop without industrial growth. In the last 300 years, the countries that have emerged from poverty to high levels of development have done so through one engine, which is industrialization and innovation. view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Many countries in Western Europe and the Americas, especially North America, took advantage of the big bang industrial growth 200 to 300 years ago. The big bang was fueled by the huge resources available to these countries to fund research, innovation and thinking. Most of these resources came from poor places such as the African Continent through colonization and punitive exploitation of resources. view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: During that period of industrial revolution, intellectual property rights were not protected. It was easy to steal knowledge and resources through colonization and exploitation of intellectual property rights. The second phase of countries that made it from poverty to success is the group of South East Asia countries, the so-called South East Asian Tigers. These countries did not have the advantages of lots of stolen resources and stolen knowledge. They had the advantage of a model of cottage industries where every village would have small industries dealing with light manufacturing. This model – if you ask me – is the ... view
