• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a sad man today because we, as leaders and parents in this country, have failed tremendously. Literally we should all be punished for letting down our young girls. We are here because we are preparing to bequeaththe future of this world to them. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: I tried my level best in my early years to address this issue of teenage pregnancy and child marriages. I rescued over 25,000 girls who had dropped out of schools and were forcefully being married off in Narok County. I hoped this would have been carried forward by other leaders to curb this menace. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these statistics, which the distinguished Senator for Isiolo County alluded to, were not provided by our own Government entities, but by the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF). It is very sad. It appears as if we have completely The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: given up on our roles as parents, teachers and leaders. It is the foreigners who are pinpointing to us what is ailing us, as a society. What is it that we can do to mitigate against this problem in our society? We know the risks involved. We all know being a teenager itself is not easy. Carrying a pregnancy to its maturity and preparing to become a young mother is not a joke. We may never be able to pay for what we are subjecting our children to by not teaching them about these things. We need to put more ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, there is need for us to talk to our colleagues in the National Assembly when preparing for the national Budget to cater for mentoring programmes in schools. Each school should be allocated some money for mentorship. We need to mentor our children and prepare them for tomorrow. It is time we walked our talk by coming up with restrictive laws that will deter others from involving themselves in these things. If we do not do so, Narok County will continue being ranked here and other counties will follow suit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that both ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: bi-cultural approach. The biggest problem as alluded to bythe distinguished Senator from Isiolo is cultural. Some of the punishments here are as a result of culture. So, if we approached it from a bi-cultural approach, we will be able to convince our people that some traditions are out-dated and we need to discourage them. By so doing, we might have a permanent solution to this problem. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this important Bill which I hope and wish that a majority of Kenyans are keen to listen to what it is about to do. I have not had enough time to look at the amendments that are being proposed but I have been able to skim through. From the onset, I have to first of all correct my dear brother, the Chairperson of CPIAC, in referring to Article 61 of the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear that:- ‘All land in Kenya belongs to the people of ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: I have looked at this Bill and the proposed amendments and some of them worry me quite a lot. The intention appears as if it is good but what is questionable is the way of making sure that the issue of land is dealt with accordingly. I do not have a problem with setting up a tribunal but I have a problem when this Bill tries to clip powers from the land court. We have a lot of people in this country who have got land but have not paid rates because of the economic challenges. Sometimes, it is very ... view
