• 8 Nov 2023 in Senate: That if I had an option to ask the Governor a question, I would have asked whether she reported those matters to the police. Impunity breeds in silence. From the submissions, it appears as if everybody in Meru County is mad. We are in a season of madness in Meru. The only sane person in Meru today is the governor and the spouse. This is what has come out of the submissions. Could that be true; that all the great men and women of Meru, including the Deputy Speaker of this House, are in a season of madness and the ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Care and Protection of Child Parent Bill 2023 that has been brought to the Senate by Sen. Miraj. When I listened to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale speak to this Bill, initially, I thought he was speaking to the Bill that has been sponsored by Sen. Ogola, the Super Senator from Homa Bay County. There is need for the Clerk and the Secretariat at the point of pre-publication scrutiny, to ensure that related Bills are merged. I do not think Members have a problem in co-sponsoring Bills. Where there are serious overlaps in ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: the children have sat down and they have decided they are going to break a law. Sometimes, children are just being children. In the process, there is conception. If we do not have these clear provisions in law that assures them that to make mistakes is human and to make a mistake is not the end of life, our children will be going back streets to procure abortion services. If abortion is done in a manner that is not properly supervised, we will be killing our children. As parents, we sit on a high pedestal. We think that we are ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: find spaces to play and be children. They are proper places where the optics, painting and graphics makes it attractive for children to come. I think they have even gone ahead to provide meals so that these children are attracted to those centres. The childcare centres proposed here must be an integral part of the early childhood centres. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if in our Constitution, we have made abortion illegal, except in the opinion of a trained professional, or in cases where the life of the mother is in danger in the opinion of a trained professional. If we ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Sometimes, you ask yourself whether that is the best recourse for the mother who is a child. It could be a sense of vengeance for the parents, but is it the right decision and is it the right path for the children who engage in that? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not propose anything to rewrite the Sexual Offences Act. This Bill should not attempt to rewrite the Sexual Offences Act. However, in recognition of parents of child-mothers, it veers into very dangerous territory. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we get to the final stages of this Bill, we ... view
