• 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. You will find that when you go to a school, the worst classroom belonged to the early childhood group. However, we are now saying that this should be reversed; that the best classroom should actually belong to the early childhood class. Unfortunately, the older ones who will be in ... view

• 13 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. The Members listed here have performed before and there is no doubt they are going to perform again. view
• 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
• 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: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to join Senators in recording our deepest condolences to the family of the late President Moi. I convey my personal condolences, the condolences of my family and the people of Uasin Gishu County. view
