• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Every time we speak about teachers and transition, the country forgets that the Constitution says that the rights of our children are paramount. Just as Sen. Pareno has mentioned, 14 teachers in Makueni have been interdicted for simply asking about the new curriculum. Did we vet Prof. Magoha to become a dictator? Can you imagine, after training 14 teachers, you interdict them because they have asked a question about the curriculum? It is not the teachers who are going to be taught this new curriculum. It is the children of this Republic, such as those of Mama Mwikali and those ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: teacher dies or is interdicted, we should replace them with three teachers. Which country treats teachers the way we do? view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes even you, my colleagues, treat ourselves better than teachers, yet they are the future of this country. Can we speak more about the children and the teachers of this Republic, because these are the people who are going to guarantee the future we are talking about, yet they are being treated like lepers? We put the TSC under this Constitution for a good reason, but the teacher is the person who should take the short end of the stick every time that happens. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if this is one instance, I would request a Committee of the whole--- view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: That is the only place where we will deal with Prof. Magoha, with his long Curriculum Vitae (CV); we can deal with him! We have the capability, time, will, wisdom and intellect to do so. We want you to invite the CS here so that we can interrogate these issues. We will deal with him because we are doing this on behalf of the children of this Republic. The Ministry of Education cannot and should not be an avenue and a theatre for doing whatever people think is right. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report. I have listened to the expert in this field, Sen. Ndwiga. I agree with the method that they adopted in agreeing on the version of the Bill. It was a give and take. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: I am happy that Sen. Murkomen has arrived. The arguments of the people who are fighting Sen. Murkomen‟s view on the Health Bill are now coming to light. Mediation in Division of Revenue is as a legal process and it is part of the Constitution. The people who think that we have no role should understand that mediation should come where we disagree. Like the Committee of the Whole does, Sen. Ndwiga and others sat and agreed on the version that should go to the President. That is the sort of country that we want. The Senate should be given ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: people do not read. He calls them characters and I call them people. If they read, they do not understand what they are reading. In the mediation of the Division of Revenue Bill, we will take the same position taken by Sen. Ndwiga and his Committee. They must understand the views of the Senate. We do not legislate for the sake of it. We do not make our comments just because we came and we were here. I have seen Sen. Murkomen‟s protests on twitter and they are real though the picture is letting us down. He protested that this ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: We can meet Hon. Duale and Hon. Mbadi anywhere. Any Senator can sit in the Mediation Committee. They can bring the big guns. We will also bring the guns because we are equal to the task. I think we are setting the temperature for making sure that the Senate of this country is not treated as if it is a step child of devolution. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is information. It is me who is being informed. view
