• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the issue here is not opposing or supporting the CS for Education. It is what the President raised at the COVID19 Conference that we deal with ‘how’, then ‘when’ will follow. As I speak, the Ministry of Education has not told the country to any level of satisfaction as to what they have done to protect children who are going to school. We should not reduce this to opposing or supporting CS for Education Prof. Magoha. We want children in school, but we want to know whether they will be safe. Are we going to have a ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), I seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding Government support to maize farmers in the Western Belt of Kenya.

• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Kinyua the only stranger in Jerusalem? Six months ago, we brought here a Statement that was uncontroverted; that the World Bank Coffee Development Fund brought to this country Kshs1.6 billion, which has been skewed and put in counties of Central Kenya exclusively The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: alone when the western frontier right from Kericho, Vihiga, Kakamega, Kisii, Nyamira, Bungoma, Bomet and Trans Nzoia are frontiers for coffee growth and not a single cent was sent there? Laikipia County may be on the outer ring of the onion, but the money was brought to one centre of the country. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to salute the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) aptly described teachers as social engineers, whether it is astronaut, an engineer, a lawyer like myself, a doctor or whoever, they have all been brought up through the hands of teachers. Teachers in this country, as we celebrate the International Day of the Teacher, have always, through successive governments, had a raw deal. There is not any occasion when teachers get what they deserve until and unless, they either threaten to strike or actually strike. Even ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: appreciate the critical role played by teachers in the nurturing, developing and growth of our children. Secondly, I urge the Government to understand and appreciate that creating and licensing schools without posting to those schools adequate numbers of teachers to teach our children does not make any economic sense to the country, parents and everybody concerned. Thirdly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge the Government to ensure that the many trained and registered, but unemployed, teachers in the country be recruited by TSC, and the TSC be adequately financed through the budget to recruit enough of these teachers. Fourth ... view

• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, for those of us who appreciate and value decorum in this House, we get disturbed when the Speaker is on her feet announcing the outcome of a Division and Members including the Majority Whip are busy laughing away the afternoon. Congregating as if it is a Kamukunji, where is the decorum in this House? When we came to this House for the first time - my distinguished colleague, the ambassador can bear me out - when the Speaker stands, he or she does not need to say “order” it comes naturally in the House. However, you are ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: if we wish. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, let me see if I can compress my thoughts in the next 10 minutes. Madam Deputy Speaker, this is a Bill that requires all of us to support. Last Monday when we had the National COVID-19 Conference at Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), I was happy to hear that since COVID-19 hit Kenya, the positive side effect is that diseases like diarrhea, dysentery and cholera have all disappeared. Why? Because of the improvement of personal hygiene. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
