• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: As Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said here, this thing should be automatic. When a child is born and registered; when they hit 18 years, an ID card should be given to this particular person, or their parents should be notified that their child is old enough to have an identity card. However, this kind of thing does not happen and, as a result, many Kenyans go without IDs and do not get to vote. They are also not counted in important issues like in the formula; how much money goes into particular counties or how many sub-counties we are going ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: 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
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: When it comes to changing the dates or names, as somebody said earlier, Turkana people have acquired strange names because the person registering does not know Turkana names. They come up with funny names, for example, like Kyalo. There is no Turkana by the name Kyalo, but because this person heard something different, a new name is given. When you want to make a change, it costs hell on earth to get that change because you are told that you to have to bring your grandmother or grandfather. For God’s sake, you are asking my grandfather for an identity card? ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: This makes it very difficult to change names or dates and to have correct data on the identity cards. As a result, when it comes to important functions, you are refused because it is said that you are not the same person, so go home and come back with someone who knows you. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am asking all Kenyans, especially the Turkana people to go and register; get an identity card and a voting card. Register en masse so that people know that there are many of us here and we can make an impact in elections. Otherwise, when you do not register, you do not get to vote and nobody recognizes you. When you do not get an identity card, nobody even knows you are alive in Kenya. Let us go for it people. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to comment on these Statements by Sen. Mwaruma and Sen. (Dr.) Langat. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Sen. Mwaruma and I are teachers. Teaching is a lifelong profession that you choose. For those of us who have been in the classroom for over 40 years, it required that you liked the particular field. It is a lifelong choice that you want to teach and pass knowledge to other people. That was why we stayed in the classroom for that long. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Being a subject of choice should not be something that is forced on someone. When I was a young boy, I wanted to do engineering. I could not get it and so, I went into teaching. It was not something that was forced on me. To force somebody to go and become a teacher does not make sense, because once you force a human being to do something they do not like, they cannot do well in that field because they resent being forced to do things they do not want. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: It used to be that you go to a college or university of your choice that offered the courses you were interested in. In my case, I chose the then Kenya Science Teachers College for Mathematics and Physics because that was what I wanted to train on and teach. I studied those subjects and went on to teach. Those who wanted arts would go to colleges that offered arts, where they would train and go on to teach those subjects. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: There was never such a thing as forcing somebody to go and train on a field they were not interested in. If anything, there had to be in-service training. It required that if there was something new, teachers had to know how to teach it. As has been already said, that was financed by the Ministry or whoever was sending those people for training. view
