• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you and the distinguished Senator for Nyeri County in welcoming the students who are visiting us. I understand that it is a mixed school. If it is, I then want to advise both male and female students – I am not just singling out females – that they all have a duty of taking care of themselves and learning as hard as they can. This is the “upper” House of Parliament, where wisdom reigns like rain water. Members of this House, including your distinguished Senator, are respected and acknowledged for the balanced views ... view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, forgive my anxiety in jumping onto a different matter. Over the weekend, I was in a public function with the distinguished Senator for Vihiga and when he mentioned this matter, almost half of the crowd present – The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

In fact, without a birth certificate, one cannot acquire an ID or passport. If this is happening in what are erroneously described as high potential counties such as Vihiga, you can imagine what people are going through in Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Turkana, Samburu, Baringo and all those other neglected counties. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge that in dealing with this Statement, the Committee responsible – I believe it is the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare or whichever committee it is – should interview and talk to the concerned Cabinet Secretary (CS) to ensure that the issuance of birth certificates is completely devolved to county governments. The CSs should take responsibility with attendant resources following this function. This will ensure that birth certificates are issued as a right to every child. This is because without it, a child will end up stateless; because without an ID in this country, you ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is even more disturbing – and I see the distinguished Senator for Nairobi present – is that there is a flawed process going on in Nairobi. This is where some children from certain communities go to apply for birth certificates or IDs, and they are told to go back to their counties, where their names are identifiable as coming from there. This is happening, yet the Constitution says that a Kenyan can live, work and own property anywhere in this Republic. What is this nonsense, where Wafula has to go back to Western Kenya; Njoroge has ... view
