• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they are both small and young, and they require a lot of care. We are not only concerned about the education bit in that Bill, but also looking at the care that is given to the children in our ECDEs. We are very happy that the Bill has come back. This House is going to appraise itself on how not to mishandle a young child, and we are looking forward to passing this Bill. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he was neither young nor small. But the majority of our learners are actually small and young. view
• 18 Feb 2020 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
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: You will realize that when you look at the care that we want to give, it is not for adults. In the care section of the Bill, we are looking at the care for these young children. You will notice that for a very long time, nobody cared about the young.

• 13 Feb 2020 in Senate: As I support this, I want to emphasize what the Senate Majority Leader said about Members who have business. Sitting at your Chair, sometimes it is a bit frustrating when Members who have business in the Order Paper do not turn up. By the time the business is already listed in the Order Paper, it is very important that we execute it. If we do not execute whatever is in the Order Paper every day, then we will have a lot of backlog. This backlog is really causing a lot of congestion in the “pipe”. view
• 13 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are already midway in our term. Therefore, we must start counting the number of success stories that we have had, look at what we must do before we finish, as individuals or as a Senate. I would like to congratulate some of our colleagues who have done us very proud with Bills and Motions. I do not want to hide the fact that we are very proud of the women’s participation in this House; they have done extremely well. They have also done very well in maintaining the quorum in this House. I am appealing that ... view
• 13 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when it comes to the issue of the relevance of Senate, I see another opportunity through the document that we received in Bomas of Kenya the other day called the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Today, as women leaders, we sat down to look at it under the umbrella of Common Women Agenda (COWA). We were concerned with the issues of women. How can this document benefit women in this country? I was also looking at the devolution aspects of that document to see how we, as a Senate, can benefit. It is true that there was a ... view
