• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I want to propose that we go back to the law as it was before 2017. That is post- secondary qualification. Secondly, I propose that political parties be allowed to establish their rules. Political parties are like clubs. For you to have the holy communion in the Adventist Church where I belong, you must be baptised. If you do not like it, you can go to the Legio Maria Church where you must also be baptised. If you do not like it, you can go to Dini ya Msambwa where for you to have the communion, you must be baptised. ... view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill that has been ably sponsored by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. These are two Senators who have distinguished themselves, not just in the House, but when it comes to issues of education, training and capacity development in this Republic. I am a proud student of one of the core sponsors of this Bill, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar who was my senior principal while I was at Moi University. I have also heard the passion with which Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has spoken about her commitment to special needs education. I do ... view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: I, therefore, support this Bill without any equivocation because I believe it has been drafted by two eminent Members of this House who understand how education ought to be. I also take note of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution which has given responsibility for ECDE, vocational training institutes and village polytechnics to county governments. Special needs education cuts across all these institutions. Therefore, we must start thinking about it from early childhood, primary, secondary and university level. This becomes an important shared responsibility between the national and county governments. When you talk about disability, there is a lot of ... view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: To the greatest extend possible, we need to make it clear that for any child you come across with a hearing, speaking or mobility disability, there is nothing different between them and your child, brother or sister who is fully abled. Perhaps they would be disabled in one way, but greatly gifted in another. view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I would wish to see a school like where my son goes to, a situation where children with special needs are integrated into the curriculum and into the programmes in a manner that still respects their special abilities. I would like to see ramps established in those institutions. I would like to see availability of braille in those institutions for students with reading and seeing disabilities. I would also like to see the integration of technology in those institutions so that these children can take advantages of their special abilities - not inability - to be part ... view

• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in drafting this Bill, I hope that you have taken into consideration that we are not talking of segregation or concentration camps for children with special needs so that they can be trained in a different environment and integration. This will ensure that those children who seem to be born with all their physical features intact can learn to integrate and live together with those with special needs. We have many Kenyans who have battled disability, or special ability and have become very prominent today. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is a very shining example in this House. ... view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: There is a school next to my home called Hope School for Children with Special Needs. When I look at this legislative proposal, I see some hope that the Hope School for children with Special Needs is finally going to get some consideration. As it is, it is hanging somewhere in limbo because there those who assume that it should be the responsibility of the county government and there those who think it should be the responsibility of the national Government. This confusion arises because there are students in these schools who should be at early childhood education level. Now, ... view
• 15 Feb 2022 in Senate: development all our teachers are equipped with skills to deal with children with special needs. I do not know whether we want to just have some people to specialize in it. However, I think just like in some countries where swimming is mandatory for the adult population, even in Kenya, every teacher must have certain basic skills to deal with children with special needs. It can never be and it should never be that a child with special needs is told by a teacher: “Go and see Mr. Wanjau or Mrs. Nyaboke because I do not know how to handle ... view
