• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Iman. It is unfortunate that this happened in a place that purports to have tight security. One wonders how the stowaway managed to get into the wheels of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: the flight. This is because when passengers board a flight, there are strict measures that are taken. We are being told many stories, for example, that the stowaway was a cleaner which means security in JKIA is in question. In addition to this issue which affects our transport system and brings us a bad name, it is also a sign that our youth are really suffering due to unemployment. We have noted this one case, but there are many others who normally drown into the sea when they board ships in pursuit of better lives elsewhere. That is why we ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this chance to contribute to this Statement. This is a very important Statement bearing in mind the fact that devolution brought about county governments where, in matters of procurement, women, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and the youth are to be given jobs to undertake in those counties. However, you will realize that if the youth manage to get any finances to begin any jobs in the counties, it is through borrowing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite the fact that even the President of this country, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, recently declared that pending ... view

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: county, asking me to go and assist them to be paid. However, I have realized that the issue of payment has been affected by corruption, in this case, because it is only friends of governors who are normally paid. I know that the Finance Act stipulates that you cannot procure goods unless you have finances. Normally, an accounting officer is affected by three major things; mismanagement, embezzlement or, in this case, not paying for goods, otherwise, procured. There is a lot of mismanagement going on in these counties and I am sure that once this Statement goes to the Committee, ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give a notice of the following Motion- THAT, the Senate notes the Report of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the 12th Session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA, from 11th to 13th June, 2019.

• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this chance to also support this Bill. I wish to begin by thanking Sen. Mwaura for bringing to light the plight of very many Kenyans who would otherwise be languishing in stigma. I wish to support this Bill which seeks to amend the Registration of Persons Act (107) and the Births and Deaths Registration Act (149) in order to provide for the registration of persons born with both female and male genitalia and other rudimentary structures as such. As Sen. Mwaura explained to us, he started talking about this issue way back because he ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: bring changes in this country in terms of registration of intersex persons. This will make Kenya stand out among many countries in the world. Article 59 of the Constitution, together with the Kenya National Commission of Human Rights Act of 2011, ensures that there is promotion and protection of human rights in Kenya, including safeguarding the rights of intersex persons. This Bill has come at the right time. It is interesting to know that persons who are intersex have had to suffer for a long time. I had time to attend a breakfast meeting with Sen. Mwaura where one parent ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Intersex people, together with their parents, have suffered a lot. Those people have issues with identification. When a child is born in hospital, they are either considered male or female but one big hospital once put a question mark on the gender of the child, and the mother was shocked. She did not understand the reason as to why they placed a question mark on the gender section. The doctors did that because they did not know how to assign the child‟s gender. Identification for this group of people is a nightmare yet one needs to have identification to belong ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: was suffering. We have had cases where fathers run away when an intersex or physically challenged child has been born. Sen. Mwaura should include something in this Bill that will ensure that the responsible fathers take responsibility. view
