4 Dec 2018 in Senate:
Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance also to congratulate Sen. Farhiya for work well done. It is clear that a lot of what we do is done by committees. Here we discuss but not much comes to fruition other than being in the newspapers but in committees, we pass laws and those laws are the ones that are effected in the country. It is the committees that put power to the laws that we pass. In this situation where the Senate committee Members put their heads down on a particular situation, that brings out what we ...

I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for all the things she does. I once told her that she is very dedicated to the work she is doing not only for those she represents, but the entire country. She is always advocating issues and matters that affect the whole country. That is a great soul and big heart. Those are the kind of people that, in my view, should be given the chance to do things that affect others. She is somebody that is selfless and tirelessly works with other people.

As Sen. Cheruiyot said, the country is growing and maturing slowly, and has made a number of steps. We are now at a point where we have started to pay attention to those that are in need.

So, we criticize and sometimes say bad things about People with Disabilities (PWDs). Sometimes we ignore them and say that they are not fully-grown human beings or ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am in support of this Motion by the fact that it will affect many people. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, I did not come for those books from you because I am not aware that there are schools, like the ones you advocate for, that take care of children with special needs in Turkana. I am still investigating and trying to get that information. Since you know, I fully support being an educator and understanding the idea of being in need, I will obviously get some of those books, so that I can take them to Turkana.

There are many people in need out there. It is just that society does not care much about them. They look at them and say: “Forget this one. You do not hear, walk well or see clearly.” They just let them be and say that they are not fully human. That is the mistake that this Motion will correct. These people will be looked at differently, respected and given their proper place in society. What Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is doing is a noble thing and I am glad that she is in this Parliament. She is taking her time to ...
