• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: We have been talking about the issue of inclusivity in our country and many of the human rights activists have tried to do this in many areas. However, when it comes to sporting, nobody has thought of the PWDs because all the time they are relegated to the back. We know that the PWDs are abled differently. For those who can perform some activity, it is high time a chance was given to them so that they participate and create employment for themselves. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently, when I was in my country, I decided to go round to identify persons of various disabilities. I wanted to give them water tanks. When I went round, I found that there are many people with different disabilities. Some were lying on the floor, others crawling and some could not see. I found one disabled person who said he had passion in sports, but nobody assisted him to take part in any sporting activities. This Motion has come at the right time so that we sensitise our counties to ensure that they look into the ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Today the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Report was released. I am happy because we have been given a chance to add our voices. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve will be able to input something concerning the PWDs, particularly when it comes to sporting activities. Recently, Eliud Kipchoge showed the world that no person is limited. If no person is limited, it does not matter whether someone is a PWD; that person is abled differently. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we are calling upon the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage as well as county governments to ensure that they put in place Para Sports associations to enhance employment and ensure that PWDs earn a living. These associations will enable us to tap their talents and potential. We have many PWDs. I still remember Ms. Mary Atieno who used to be a good singer. If she was still singing at this particular time, she would have gone very far in life. We also have many others who have done many things and contributed to the economy of ... view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve should be encouraged to further this Motion and bring to this House a Bill concerning the PWDs. This is an important issue in the society. It will help in tapping into the potential, talents and skills that the PWDs have. It will go a long way to create employment for these people who have physical challenges. I support this Motion. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First of all, let me take this opportunity to congratulate my Chairman who is sitting on the seat of the Speaker right now. I feel so proud of you. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I wish to thank Sen. Cherargei for bringing to the Floor a very important issue that is affecting our country regarding the way HELB management wants to treat the students who completed university education or training in various training institutions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not a long time ago when we were told that defaulters should be locked up by the policemen. Now, here we are, we want to parade them in the newspapers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the stress that the youth in this country are being subjected to cannot be overemphasized. More importantly, those are ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: my colleagues has stated, the Government should be compelled to write off loans for people who stay at home for over five years if they happen to get employment. As I speak, there are many graduates who have been at home for over 10 years because there is no employment in this country. We have seen several times old people being appointed to lead institutions. How about the youth? The issue of management by HELB should be looked into by the Committee that will be tasked to deal with this particular Statement, and I think it is the Committee on ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.61 (3), I request that you defer the putting of the question to a later date. view
