• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: In many parts of Kenya, many people have been displaced. When we have big projects, there has always been conflict between the people and the contractors. Many at times, the projects have been stopped but we have always denied Kenyans their right. view

• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to welcome our hon. Members together with my colleagues; hon. Senators and you. Kirinyaga is a famous place that we are all fond of. I have interacted with many people from there through the church. I have visited Kirinyaga on different occasions. It is a good sign that when you are planning on visiting people and before you visit them, they come to you. It shows that they are ready for us. We are happy to have them and ready to consume the rice and every good thing that is there. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to add my voice to this and say that I support the Statement simply because I am a mother and a woman leader. We are here on behalf of the young people who are suffering in many ways in our country. We can understand the dilemma the Ministry of Education is in with an outstanding over Kshs7 billion, but Kenya can come up with a way of dealing with that and if we had planned well, we would not have been in this situation that we are in today. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Statement simply because we know the number of unemployed young people in the country. Most of them have good papers and they are graduates but they cannot find a job anywhere. Most of them are frustrated, and their parents are also frustrated. They have used what they had to educate them and yet they are not able to get anything from the investment that they have made in the past. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: The issue of arresting the defaulters will not solve the huge problem that we are in as a nation. I will be very brief. This should serve as a wake-up call for our nation. Instead of discussion how we can arrest the young people, we should ask ourselves and plan on how young people can be employed in our nation. Many are the times when we advertise new jobs, we say that we need 10 years’ experience. How can our young graduates be employed when we are always demanding for 10 years’ experience? How can young people even be employed ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: It is high time for us leaders to advocate for employment of young people in our country. We urge the ministries to see how best we can employ young people. We blame them for drug addiction and getting into radicalization and yet we have not given them any solution in life. That is why I stand to support this Statement. Arresting them will not solve any problem. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: As I finish, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the northern part of Kenya, many students do not even qualify for the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) because they cannot even get identity cards. This august House needs to know that even when they finish their Form Four, getting an identification card is a big problem especially when The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: you come from Marsabit, Moyale, Sololo and Wajir. It is because we are always treated as foreigners. For how long should our students be treated as foreigners in this country yet, we are born and brought up here, given birth in this country and yet our children are being mistreated? Most of them do not have identification cards today and cannot qualify for funding from the HELB. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the students who come from northern part of Kenya should be given priority and their identification cards distributed. The Ministry that is holding the identity cards that are already ... view
