I am not sure whether I should have stood on a point of order but there is also another Petition about Kajiado County before the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. They discussed it and I have been asking the Chairperson of the Committee to give me a report so that I take it to the petitioners from Kajiado County. However, to date, I have not gotten a response from them. view

• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Childhood Development (ECD) teachers because their teachers have been interdicted. The head teachers who were sent to replace them have not reported. As a matter of concern, we sat with the education board of Kajiado County and requested the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to put some urgent measures to salvage the situation.

• 30 May 2019 in Senate: I concur with my colleagues that whenever Members are nominated to mediation committees, because of some Bills where we do not agree with the National Assembly, they should scrutinise what we need to mediate on behalf of this House. I also concur that constitutionally, independent institutions must be respected. There is no way a report by a commission can be assumed by any other arm of Government.

As you walk in the streets in any small town or urban centre ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree with the Mover of this Motion on the issue of the audit of the monies meant for street families. Do we have a law in place that governs the Fund or an annual budgetary allocation?
