  • 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. It is indeed true that COVID-19 came with a lot of challenges and our learners had been away for nine months. Now they have to adjust going back to the school system. Many of them are very anxious and depressed. Therefore, their mental health and state is very critical. We would like to know from the Committee maybe to ensure learners’ mental health is taken care of. By this I mean maybe having professional counselors attached to the schools. I am happy that the ... view
  • 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this very important Bill. I thank Sen.(Dr.) Zani for coming up with this very critical amendment Bill. I think we should have done it earlier. Nonetheless, we are happy that it is here. Cooperative societies have played a very important role in this country in terms of ensuring we have development not just economic, but also social. It has created jobs for so many people which has improved their living standards. More so, this Bill seeks to align the Cooperative Societies Act to the Constitution of ... view
  • 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: SACCO Petition, there was an issue to do with the audit where there were auditors who were placed there. We found out that we did not even know where some of them came from. It would be important for the national Government to maintain a register of approved audit firms. The other role I have seen under the county governments is to ensure that there is a County Cooperative Societies Research and Information Centre. I believe this centre will ensure we conduct research on management of cooperative societies in our country and we get best practices on how to manage ... view
  • 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill sets out a very clear procedure on registration, how it will be done and what should be submitted during the registration process. Such clarity is very important because some people may complain when registration is not very clear. This Bills sets our clearly what is needed which include minutes of the members, copies of proposed by-laws, names, addresses and signatures of the members. More so, this Bill speaks on the times lines. The period provided of 30 days is enough because we live in a digital world. I am sure that 30 days is enough ... view
  • 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: There are so many other good amendments that have been put forward by Sen. (Dr.) Zani many of which have been explained by the other Members so I do not wish to repeat. Generally, this is a good Bill that I am happy about it. I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this amendment Bill. I beg to support. view
  • 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to condole with the family of Sen. Haji and the great people of Garissa County. A lot has been said about Sen. Haji. Indeed, he was a great leader, he was humble, soft spoken, firm in what he believed in, and what he did as a leader. A lot has also been said about his loyalty and respect for authority. That is something a young leader as myself can pick from him and learn a great deal from his style of leadership. He was very respectful. When it comes ... view
  • 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he was very dedicated to his service. He served the people of Garissa diligently and the people of Kenya at large with integrity. He was made the Chairperson of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), and he took it up because of his passion and love for this country. Therefore, I think he was a true patriot. He wanted the country to remain united and for peace and harmony to prevail. He was a patriot and a servant leader. We have lost a great man and leader. I do not think words can make up for what ... view
  • 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the review of accredited academic programmes and courses by the Commission for University Education (CUE). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Table the list of both accredited and unaccredited academic programmes and courses being offered by institutions of higher learning in Kenya. (2) Report on the progress made by the CUE in reviewing and updating the tabled list. (3) State the measures contemplated by the Government to address the anxiety among university students over the lack of accreditation ... view
  • 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my colleagues in adding my voice to this Statement. I begin by thanking the leadership of this House because they have walked us through this journey, and we are finally here. I thank all of us for having participated in the walk to the High Court. I remember I saw 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
  • 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve in her vehicle that day. It really demonstrated that we can all participate in this process of ensuring that the Senate is respected. I also thank the High Court for this great ruling. It is a landmark ruling and it has placed the Senate in its rightful place as the ‘upper’ House. It has brought respect to this House and order to Parliament with regard to how Bills are processed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. My comment will be on only one thing. I think we need to have a way of ensuring ... view
