• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: We should provide in this Bill, that as far as is practically possible, ECDE establishments should have a basic nurse to help look after these children. Where counties have an endowment of resources – like Nairobi, Narok or Mombasa, the counties with big, attractive and alternative sources of raising resources can do it. Gradually, this Senate can actually obligate the national Government to give conditional grants to counties to take care of this kind of requirement. This is so that when children go to school, like I said earlier, you start it early, you get it right and you have ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the orderly running of these institutions is very critical. With regards to the process of transition, we need to have a provision for the curriculum that helps children’s transition. Of late, I have heard very dangerous statements coming from the Ministry of Education. For example, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) saying that every child who sat for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) will go to Form One. What then is the purpose of examinations? There are some who may not qualify to go to Form One, and you have to help them to find another ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: instilling public probity, morality and behaviour that takes away this militarization of anything that we do in public, more so, examinations. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: I would like to hear from the Ministry of Education what the Minister means by saying that one moves on regardless of their examination results. Why have examinations then? With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill brought by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County. This Bill goes a long way in furtherance of strengthening devolution. Madam Temporary Speaker, if the existing laws were applied properly, probably, Sen. Khaniri would never have brought this Bill. Under the Police Act, there is a provision for a County Security Service Board that will comprise the governor, the management of the county plus the local police and the remnants of provincial administration. However, it has increasingly appeared like the police would have nothing ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, fourth, they need to be trained in respect to the sanctity of property; that enforcing the law does not give anybody a licence to destroy property of others. In markets, when these enforcement officers arrive and there is some poor woman there with a trolley of bananas to, probably, at the end of the day, sell and go home with a gorogoro of unga, instead of asking: “Have you paid your license for the day? If you have not, why? If you have a good explanation, when can you pay?” All they do is arrive, take that ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is really bad. You will then see the public scramble to help themselves on the wares of a woman who, probably, borrowed this money from a chama to go and buy these trading wares and make some little money and go back and pay the loan and feed the family. She will end up going home with nothing. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: The victims of this violence are routinely women because they are the ones who the whole day sit in the sun selling vegetables, tomatoes, bananas, roasting maize and doing all manner of things that help the ordinary traveler and the families live on. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Unless we control this, devolution becomes a mirage for people. It becomes a pipe dream because we devolved the system of Government to send money to the villages and help villagers in an organised and legal manner, so that they live a decent life. So, when we have these enforcement officers regulated in the manner that this law is proposing, it becomes orderly and good for everybody. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would want to see a situation where these enforcement officers have a very clear structure of reporting. If you go to a big market like Luanda Market in Sen. Khaniri’s county, there must be a superintendent in charge of the market on call throughout, to be able to deal with emerging issues. This is because on a day-to-day, hour by hour, there are issues arising. There are pick-pockets that wananchi want to feast on. Wananchi are so frustrated that the moment they hear the word “thief”, they do not even ask who the thief is or ... view
