• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 8(4) states that- “Where natural resources bestride two or more counties, the Commission shall determine the ratio of sharing the retained revenue amongst the affected counties in consultation with the affected counties.” With the Commission making a determination, no county will suffer. Clause 10(1) and (2) state that- view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: “(1) Each county that has a natural resource to which this Act applies shall establish a County Benefit Sharing Committee. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: (2) A County Benefit Sharing Committee shall consist of— (a) the county executive committee member responsible for finance; (b) the chairperson of the committee of the respective county assembly responsible for matters relating to natural resources; and (c) five persons elected by the local community where the resource is found representing the diversity of the local community.” I would like to comment on Clause 10(2)(c). We have been talking about diversity but I think the issue of gender should be considered. When you talk about diversity, unless you mention the word “gender”, the women and the youth might be sidelined. ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in welcoming the students who are here with us. Their future is in their hands and they need to work hard because their parents are investing a lot in them. On their behalf, I want to tell them that they need to work hard so that they can be somebody in future. Kenya depends on you because you, young people, will take this country far. We are talking of corruption; if we want a nation without corruption, it is them engage in that. Once again, I want to tell ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: If you work hard and become very important persons in future, you will take care of yourself, your parents and our society. We, therefore, want our girls to stand up; instead of carrying pregnancies now and stopping your education, stand up and take care of the future. view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: I stand as one of the persons who come from one of the counties that are affected. This being the second or third time that we are discussing the drought situation in Kenya, I feel that national Government and leaders like us, are not doing proper planning for our citizens. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: During campaigns, all politicians use a lot of money to go to the people and beg for their votes. Without anybody requesting for your money, you go and distribute a lot of it to people. That time, the votes that Kenyans hold are quite important. However, today, it is quite clear that the life of Kenyans is no longer important to us. Many people are trying to save money for 2022. Unfortunately, some of the voters that you are counting on will not be there if we cannot save their lives today. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfortunate that we ... view

• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I know I have very few minutes remaining, but I will be as fast as I can. I stand to support this Motion on the creation of disability inclusive school clubs in all public schools. As one of the mothers in this nation and a woman leader, I stand to support this Motion because our children who are born with different disabilities, are not able to get opportunities that other children get. In the entire world, according to some report, 15 per cent of the world’s populations are people living with disability. In Kenya, for ... view
