• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: insisting that we should have a crèche in Parliament, what happens when we insist that a child who has a child must go with that child to school? What happens when the lessons are going on? Is the child supposed to remain in class, sleep in class and change diapers in class? Should we not have a facility that would take care of these children when they are in school? This is because whereas we insist that we want to separate them because the concept of your Bill is accepting the principle that you are going to separate the teenage ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Cherargei will confirm that the number of boys we found in the Government of Kenya (GK) remand prisons in Nairobi is appalling. In fact, if we were to set up a school in GK remand, the school would possibly have the highest population of more than 300 to 400 boys who are underage. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: My contribution to this Bill – and I support the psychology of students – is that the psychology of these mothers is something that we must address. I have said this on the Floor of this House. I know of a 40-year old lady who was defiled in her youth and because she was not taken care of in terms of her psychology, she cannot sit in a room with men alone because she is traumatised. Can we put these together? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: I would insist that there must be care and psychological care in as many hospitals as possible. Create a budget in the county government for hiring these psychologists. I have one and the lady is overwhelmed. Sen. Dullo through a Swedish foundation offered to assist, but she is only one person. In between running from one court to the other where there is collusion between the police and medical officers removing evidence of defilement of children, she is still taking care of the children of the children. Please, add those. Lastly, we must find a way in your Bill, as ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: So, I hail you, Sen. Kwamboka. I do not know about the statistics in Nairobi, but I have this impression that if Makueni is at 3,000 and Kilifi at 3,000 teenage pregnancies, it is possible that Nairobi has more. I would insist that the after-care of these child parents, assuming you are reporting, should be done better. I do not think it is inconsistent to insist in this Bill that we should have a desk where our children who have been defiled - even if it is at the risk of repeating the Sexual Offences Act - can be treated ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: I know an instance where a police officer insisted that a child who had been defiled speaks loudly in a police station. He told her: “We cannot hear you, speak loudly.” What have you done to this child? Please, put it down so that everything is taken care of. However, in terms of the Bill, it is late. We should have put these child care centers in line with the Fourth Schedule. This is not to say that it is near normal; it is accepting that in one or two cases, there will be a child who will be defiled, ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: When we say it, they think we are attacking the defilers. However, I am now least interested in the imprisonment of pedophiles as a primary issue. For me, it has become a secondary issue because I have realized that while we jail the pedophiles and defilers for life, we are in the process losing other people who, for one reason or the other, found themselves at the wrong place and met a wrong person. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to support. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: ( Question proposed) view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labor and Social Welfare regarding the status of sports activities funded by the Sports Fund. In the Statement, the Committee should - (a) Explain whether the Sports Fund under the Ministry of Sports and Social Services has been allocated a total of Kshs.8.1 billion for the Financial Year 2019/2020; (b) Explain the reason(s) the national teams, including and not limited to the Harambee Starlets, are unable to get funding for their international sports fixtures; view
