• 13 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, as a Senate need to look at it and have our own input to this document; whichever way it will go. Let us be very clear on what we want this Senate to be. What I like about the document that we looked at as women and the proposals that we came up with, is the fact that the womenfolk in this country strongly support a very strong Senate. The Senate must be the Upper House. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 13 Feb 2020 in Senate: To me, that is was a very good proposal, especially today being the first day of the validation of the document of Bomas of Kenya. Even as we validate it through other fora, we need to emphasize the fact that there is need to really have a clearly structured governance system in this country. The Upper House which was envisaged when Senate was formed, must be completely realized. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to have a retreat for three days to interrogate this document. I believe that if we look at it together, we will be able to come up ... view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we convey our condolences, we celebrate a man who did a lot of things in this country. I would just touch on a few things that have been mentioned by my colleagues. One is that we are celebrating an educationist par excellence; a man who expanded the university sector and the secondary school sector. In the secondary school sector, he in fact expanded the education of girls. We hear of Moi Girls High School, Lugulu, Moi Girls High School, Eldoret and many others. All these Moi Girls’ secondary schools were built to help girls expand their ... view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will never forget the trip to the Beijing Conference in 1995. I was among three lecturers from the universities who were asked to go and be part of the secretariat on behalf of the country. What shocked us as university lecturers because we did not know about women movements at that time was the fact that President Moi sponsored women of all classes from across the country. We had a woman leader from Kiambu who spoke only in Kikuyu. Jane Kiano was holding onto her and translating everything. This is the man we are celebrating today. ... view

• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that ruling, because it will be so unfair to the people of Uasin Gishu County if I did not say anything. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate has done a wonderful job. I thank the Committee for Roads and Transportation for such a wonderful handling of the Petition. I remember that the petitioners actually came to our sitting in Eldoret, when we had the Senate Mashinani . This was a very hot issue at that time in town, and the people were worried about how they were to be compensated. This is because they just ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you for that, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Report and I hope that a very quick process will be taken for compensation to be done, and also consider other areas, including the Ilula-Targei-Chamingwa Road. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
