  • 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Since this Petition has shown the system to be unfair, I think it will be important for this House to amend the Employment Act. We need to make it clear that it does not 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 Feb 2022 in Senate: matter how long a pregnancy has been carried. Whether it is three, four or even 24 weeks, that trauma still requires some time to heal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that it will not just be a subject of discussion here. We can actually spring into action and ensure that we bring in the amendments. If the terms “maternity leave” or “paternity leave” will not be appropriate for a situation where a parent has lost a baby after birth or has had a stillbirth, maybe that period could be considered as sick leave. Parents who have gone through the trauma ... view
  • 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this The Special Needs Education Bill (Senate Bills No. 44 of 2021) with amendments. From the onset, I am very proud of the work that, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, for having thought about the special needs persons. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has been very active. All differently abled people in this country must recognize her for the good work that she has been doing. She has been an advocate of special needs and is also very knowledgeable on the subject. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
  • 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: I have skimmed through the Bill and I am concerned about two provisions. First, it is about time that we leave legislation to be the work of Parliament. Every time, we give a lot of power to Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) we end up having problems. I have a problem with Section 46 of the Bill which seems to give the CS so much power, such that they can come up with their own legislation on how special needs schools are handled and registered. Clause 46 states that- “The Cabinet Secretary, in consultation with the relevant stakeholders, may make subsidiary legislation ... view
  • 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: occupy and use the land for educational purposes at or in connection without interference.” The words “duration of its existence” are dangerous. It is like saying that schools for children with special needs should not be perpetual but only set up for a period of time. That is already creating room for them to be interfered with because you have given the Cabinet Secretary (CS) enough powers to say that a school should no longer exist. Therefore, I would like to beseech the Sponsors of this Bill to either delete that provision completely or amend it and indicate clearly that ... view
  • 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: here to discuss it? We will be judged by our constituents based on the issues we would have resolved in this country. Just to end, I wish Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve good luck when it comes to passing this Bill. I have said what I have to say. If it remains in the HANSARD of the Senate during this term, so be it. For us to have a good piece of legislation, let us not over-legislate. Let us restrict legislation work to Parliament. view
  • 27 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that the Committee of the Whole has considered The Heritage and Museum Bill (Senate Bills No.22 of 2021) and seeks leave to sit again tomorrow. view
  • 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: I will remain very relevant to the discussion. Thank you for giving me an opportunity. Let me begin by wishing you a very happy new year. This is a year that will be very interesting for this country because it will be one that we will all be seeking a new mandate to represent our people. I hope that we will be judged by our people wisely by the fact that we have been doing the work for them. This is a very timely Bill. I am a little bit concerned and I do not know how my sister is ... view
  • 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: seek to repeal those sections, I want the Mover of this Bill to tell us how KEMSA is going to recover the money. Is this money going to be written off yet this Senate allocates money to the county governments? It is the Senate that ensures that at least 30 percent of each county government’s budget goes to health. view
  • 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Before any county government can purchase drugs from any other vendor out there s, they must clear their bill with KEMSA. This is a state agency, which we allocate funds to. However, we do not allocate funds to these agencies so that they can be taken advantage of by county governments. That is my biggest concern on this particular matter. The Permanent Secretary (PS) for Health sat here when we were trying to go through the budget of KEMSA only for us to be told that KEMSA is owed Kshs2 billion by the Ministry of Health. It really beats the ... view
