• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion that has been moved by Sen. Omanga. You have read it; it is a very detailed and precise Motion. The specific prayer that Sen. Omanga is asking this Senate to agree with her on, is that the Government at both levels should come up with a policy framework for recognition, training, empowerment and protection for caregivers of persons with permanent motor and neurological diseases. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: In this world and in this House, if you are not a son, you are a daughter. I do not think that anyone here was born of the kind of conception that we are told about in the Bible. You are, therefore, either someone’s son or daughter. You are either a father or a mother. If you are one of those, this is the kind of thing that should keep you awake at night. As a son or a daughter, you did not have a choice to determine the state in which you would be born. It was God’s gift ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: notion that there is a God. The next question in that book is whether life exists in outer space. Mr. Hawking’s uses mathematics, physics and complicated formula to prove his argument on whether life exists or not. I do not want to give the conclusions here, because I want the Members to go read and find out for themselves the conclusions that the late Stephen Hawking arrived at. Madam Temporary Speaker, in his books, Stephen Hawking asks the question whether we will colonize space as humanity one day. He talks about the implication and impact of artificial intelligence on modern ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: mother, father, grandfather or grandmother, you do not know how your children will turn out. Therefore, we should create an environment that accepts, recognizes and supports the children who have been born with such conditions. I was a young teacher before I joined the institution where the Professor who represents Uasin Gishu County, was our teacher. I recall that I wrote a poem titled, “Child of a Mortal God.” This was in reference to the children who are disregarded in society as if they have a God different from the immortal God, who stands up for everybody else. The children ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I recall that when I was studying Mathematics in primary and secondary school, there used to be relief for single people, called ‘singles relief.’ I wonder if that relief is still there in the computation of taxes. It was a completely misplaced relief. If there is going to be a relief, let it be a disability relief. There should be relief to caregivers and parents or the children that have been described by Sen. Omanga. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Cash Transfer Program is an innovative idea which has been implemented badly. Every time I meet elders in ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am well aware of the provisions of Part II of our Standing Orders on Statements, particularly Standing Order No.47 (2) that requires a Senator to do a written Statement, at least three hours before Sitting of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to beg your indulgence that the Committee on Public Accounts and Investments has been holding its meetings since we came to Kitui and as Chair, I have not been able to do a written Statement. I wish to beg if could give me just a minute or two ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I intent to make a very brief Statement regarding the activities of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) here in Kitui. We had scheduled to interogate the books of accounts of three counties while here in Kitui. On Tuesday, 16th September, 2019, we had scheduled to interrogate Kitui County Governemnt. With the wisdom of the leadership of the House, the appoinmtnet with Kitui was deferred. In place of Kitui, the Senate invited the Governor of Nyeri. The Committee considered that situation and found it to be inappropriate for us to come to Kitui without discussing ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we considered the letter and found it quite disrespectful to the institution of Senate and to the Senator of Machakos County. The Committee, therefore, resolved to issue summons to the Governor of Machakos to appear before it on 30th September, 2019, and the venue shall be the Machakos County Assembly. Today on the 18th of September, 2019, we were scheduled to meet Makueni County Governor. Makueni is one of those counties that received an unqualified opinion. In the work of oversight, it should not just be about doom and gloom. Sometimes we are looking for success stories, ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: The Governor had written a letter to the Committee excusing himself from appearing, saying that he had to travel to the USA for an appointment despite the fact that the invitation by the Senate Committee went out in the Month of June. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: The question that runs in our minds is whether this is a conspiracy, or a coincidence that the governors of the three counties in Ukambani region have chosen not to appear for a variety of reasons. view
