• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Counties allocate at least 10 per cent of their budget on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) towards this vulnerable group; and, b) Policy is developed to incorporate the needs of children who are less than three years of age. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion was developed based on the fact that while there are many education policies, there is no policy to speak to the under four years.

• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to pass my condolences to the family of Sen. Haji for the great loss.

• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: In addition, the school should have a title deed. In this case, the school’s title deed belonged to the community and there was a tussle. The BoM had more to do before the school was opened. The school did not have students as it was earlier purported. Therefore, we asked the BoM, as a Committee, to invoke the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 2019 based on how a school environment should look like and bring these particular members together and get a report from the office of the Ministry of Education that will speak to issues on requirements before any ... view
