• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. First of all, let me start by thanking Sen. Beatrice Kwamboka, Sen. Petronila Were and all my colleagues for bringing such pertinent issues touching on education. My Committee has already planned its work with regard to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). We want to look at the pedagogy, the learning institutions where we have these children with disabilities and the learning devices as well as teachers. We are already a half our work plan. That is one of the Statements that Sen. Kwamboka gave in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No.4 where we do not ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: punishment in schools which we know are now illegal. A Senator said when he was a student, they were being beaten when they made mistakes. That was another generation. The new generation is the one we have raised as parents and they know beating or corporal punishment in schools is prohibited. In most cases, when children are beaten or disciplined, we have seen parents going to schools to defend them. Sometimes it is a pity they even carry pangas to fight the teachers in disguise of defending their children. We will investigate these issues and come up with solution. However, ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me take this time to support the Senators who have been proposed to serve in the SBC because they are equal to the task. As we all know, the tray is full. However, with hard work and commitment, they will accomplish the work before them. Let me also thank the legal counsel for the success. They were able to stamp authority to all and sundry that the Senate is the “upper” House. At the same time, they ensured that the Senate did not lose a single shilling. Congratulations to them are in order and ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know there is backlog in terms of pending Bills. I appeal to the SBC under your able leadership in the case of prioritization of business of this House to exercise fairness. Some pending Bills are maiden Bills by some us in this House and we do not them to lapse before they are enacted by us. We do not want to see scenario where some Senators will be deemed not to have sponsored Bills that are passed by this House. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Last year was a wonderful year for all of us despite the fact that we had a challenge in terms of the Division of Revenue Bill. However, with the formula in place, we will not take a lot of time debating it when it is tabled before this House. In addition to that, we are approaching electioneering year, there is BBI and 2022 elections politicking. Nevertheless, I encourage my colleagues to exercise sobriety because ours is a multiparty country. We will agree to disagree. It pays to listen to various opinions so that we can appreciate others and avoid ugly ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the long recess, I lost my mum. I take this opportunity to thank the Senators who prayed for my family members and supported us financially. I want to specifically thank the Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, the Deputy Majority Whip, Sen (Dr.) Musuruve and Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at for finding time to come and condole with us. We are happy and the Deputy Speaker conveyed your condolences to the family. We felt encouraged and comforted. Let me also thank the Senators for wonderful contribution. Let us continue supporting one another in such issues. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance to also support this Bill as amended. I am supporting it as a Senator who comes from the largest tea growing area in Bomet County. Three quarter of Bomet County grows tea and I am one of the greatest farmers as well. Let me thank Sen. Cheruiyot and the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries led by Sen. Ndwiga for the wonderful job they have done. Tea is an important crop not only to our farmers, but to Kenya as well being one of the greatest foreign exchange earners. It has added ... view

• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: In the past when we were growing up, tea used to play a very important role in ensuring that there was food on the table and farmers paid school fees for their children. Apart from that, it is medicinal to some people. However, of late, there have been very many challenges, particularly when it comes to auctioning tea. This is to the extent that we have very many farmers who are now uprooting tea because of the fact that they have been impoverished after farming tea as their major crop. view
