• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Secondly, I thank our Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo, Sen. Omogeni and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affair and Human Rights for work well done. This is historic, particularly bearing in mind that up to 24 Bills have been set aside. This is not lost. I think we are ready to reprocess some of the Bills. I was able to look at some of the Bills and as the Chair of the Committee on Education, I have identified one that we can still reprocess. I have read through it and seen some amendments that could ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Unfortunately, in most cases, we go ahead and fight each other in wars that are not necessary. It is unfortunate that as we speak, the President assented to the 24 Bills, which puts him in a very awkward position. I support my colleagues on proposing that in future, before any Bill is assented to, there should be a certificate to show the Bills have been properly processed and passed through the two Houses so that the Head of State is not embarrassed as it is now. This is so that we have what we are calling “smart approach” to issues ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, out of this, we have wasted a lot of time. I even remember there are Bills that normally go for mediation. If they have originated from the Senate, it takes an abnormally long time. In some of our committees, we have a number of Bills that are waiting formation of a mediation Committee and because the Bill has originated from the Senate, it takes a long time even for the National Assembly to send their membership. When their Members come, they all want to be Chairpersons to ensure they stamp their authority and to reject many ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of Senate, today, Tuesday, 3rd November, 2020- view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having read the progress of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I now table the Report. (Sen. (Dr.) Milgo laid the document on the Table) view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise not to support or maybe oppose to a large extent Sen. Cherargei’s Statement. Despite the many challenges that have been at the Ministry of Education, I think CS (Prof.) Magoha maybe has to style up to maintain consistency in pronouncement of certain issues. Madam Deputy Speaker, education is an important sector that can never be overemphasized, particularly in terms of providing skills and talents that spur our economy. Already there is a directive given by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education. During this time of the COVID19, we have had a taskforce on ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: As a Committee, we had recommended to the Ministry of Education to open schools in September in phases starting with Grade 4, Class 8 and Form 4. This will serve as a pilot to show whether our country is ready to bring on board all the leaners. Recently we saw the President launching 620,000 desks that will be distributed to schools in the country. These desks are being made in various counties. This project of making desks is providing employment to our youth. I heard him saying some of these desks will go to 15 very needy schools. Last week, ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. 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
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: The Statement will be committed to the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare where I sit. I heard her mention about lack of compensation to a person who worked in the military for many years. Earlier on, we looked at other people who worked for the military and had not been compensated. It is quite a challenge. Mr. Otieno is immobilized, whereas, while working at Sarova Hotels Limited, he was strong and was able to feed his family. However, once he became disabled, he lost his job and he is not able to take care of his family and ... view
