• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: It shows that God may suppress some issues in you but pop up others in a better way. We should have this kind of Motions coming into this House and go even further to carry out; through representatives of the counties here, like my distinguished Senator, my nephew, from Nairobi; a census of how many persons of challenges we have in Nairobi. What attention do they get? Is it adequate? Does the national and county government budget for them? It does not make sense to own prestigious buildings such as the Association for The Physically Disabled of Kenya (APDK) and ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: I would want to encourage at some point; because the number of people who---. I know we are talking about challenges of deaf and dumb people, but a high number of others are disabled persons because of the carnage and recklessness on our roads. There are accidents every day; boda bodas have come in killing, maiming and disabling people every day. What are we doing as a society? The moment an upright person gets disabled and is reduced to a wheelchair, the medicare bill goes up. The state must look after these people. We have a country where, unfortunately, you ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: everybody else and you know how bad mannered some Kenyans are; they will never learn to give way to anybody. view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve should go beyond a Motion and bring legislation. A Motion has no force of law; we will talk here, we will pontificate and do everything and after this, it will go into the records that we brought a Motion and it ends there. If we can, let us go further and bring a Bill that puts into effect what we want to do. I would want to see in every county--- We have a school in my county of Bungoma called Nalondo CBM where we started a school for children with physical challenges. We got a donor ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Now we have opened a secondary school for it. So that such children are not stigmatised, we take in children who are ordinary and do not have physical or hearing or seeing challenges so that the children who have disabilities do not feel like they have been isolated because of their state. They work, walk, learn and live with everybody. I want to salute the UK Government for building for us a modern hospital in that school. It is fully equipped with nurses and physiotherapists who look after these children that need to be attended to. This is how society ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: I have not seen in our most populous City County of Nairobi any special attention to persons with challenges. Instead, every Friday – and the Senator for Nairobi should address this – we have people who exploit disabled persons. There are criminals who every Friday wheel them to roundabouts and sit there with them to beg. We are now getting to a situation like Pakistan where families deliberately burn their children or cut off their limbs so they look so bad and go and stand at roundabouts and roadblocks with them to beg. I am seeing this happening in Nairobi. ... view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: This is how we should encourage persons with challenges to see that whatever you, who can run on your feet can do, they can do even better because they are people The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: with special talent. The moment God puts you in a disadvantaged position, He also creates a special talent in you that will enable you to survive the rigours of life. That is the only way we can be able, as a society, to appreciate that indeed everybody was made in the image of God and everybody deserves attention from all God-fearing people. Above all, the Government has a legal and a constitutional duty to make sure that persons with challenges get even better attention in terms of health care and education. That is why I saluted the lady who is ... view
