• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am above 18 years and I can speak for myself. I want to confirm that miracles do happen. The fact that we cannot walk on water today does not mean that miracles do not happen. Jesus said that we will do greater things than what he did if we have faith. We cannot walk on water because we have no faith. If we had enough faith, we would have done everything that Jesus did. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Statement. As I condole with the families, I congratulate Sen. Omanga for bringing this Statement to the House. I also send my condolences to the affected family in Vihiga County. I wanted to say something on that but I did not manage. Our condolences and prayers are with them. It is our prayer that no Kenyan will lose life in a careless way. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: When that incident happened, many of us were touched, especially those who have school going children or grandchildren. It is unfortunate that we lost seven children. It must be devastating to the parents. They woke up very early in the morning, prepared their children and sent them to school. Unfortunately, by mid-morning, those children were no more. It is hard for parents, the school management and even the other children to cope with what happened. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: The Ministry of Education needs to take inspection of every school seriously. This House has debated on matters that concern the Ministry of Education and education of our children several times. Sometimes when I see how things are done, I feel that the Ministry of Education does not pay enough attention. The Ministry should inspect and do a proper audit of all the schools, so that we know whether we have conducive facilities for children. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: It is unfortunate that Kenyans have become money lovers. It is the greed that is pushing us--- view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to give my mind on the approval of the county government Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2019/2020. It is good that we are discussing this very important matter at this particular time. We know that our counties have suffered for some time and are eagerly waiting for this. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to remind ourselves once again that through devolution, many of our people, the citizens, have really benefitted. Yes, corruption is high on the ground; many things are going wrong; maybe a lot of ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: We have people who wait for their opportunity to come, so that they can fetch and pocket as much as they can, and create their own wealth while other Kenyans are dying in poverty. It is high time for us to see how best those who mismanage finances and other public resources can be punished harshly, so that others cannot think or imagine of doing that. We have countries that cut off the hands of people who steal. Kenyans should not just talk of corruption or financial mismanagement. Instead, we should come up with tough measures that will make those ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to do this. I second this Bill that seeks to provide a framework for the registration and licensing of children’s homes. As the Mover has already said, this is a very important Bill. I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this Bill that seeks to take care of the needy children in our society. The number of orphans in our country is growing. Unless we provide safe children’s homes that can take care of them and give them all the opportunity they need, we may not be able to ... view
