• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also happened to have been the Minister in charge of Sports. This Motion is very important because sports are activities that change attitudes of people and how they view others. When a sportsman, woman, child or any person who participates in sports, start being iconic and admirable to you and you start appreciating the fine qualities for which constitute their making, you start seeing leadership in them and appreciate them and their abilities. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Any sports activity that excludes an important section of the society is one that creates attitudes and environment that encourages and entrenches discrimination. It encourages putting disabled persons behind the room so that they are not seen by visitors and puts them behind the society so that they are not seen by people who are supposed to see them. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: We should have a proper and public funded register of all the disabled persons wherever they are. That register should be available in the counties. We should have a visible budgetary framework that indicates how much resources are allocated for the welfare of our disabled persons. When we merely talk about their existence and mention it in statute books and policies, we are not doing much. For instance, I should know how many people are living with disabilities in Migori County and what we have allocated for their welfare, specifically their sporting activities. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: It is not enough for me to sit here as a Senator together with other Senators and say that we are putting in statute and legislation on activities that compel institutions to mainstream the rights of the disabled. We should allocate money and resources for them to be seen, which should also be audited and be known that they were applied for such functions. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: I encourage Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve to move forward with this Motion and try to introduce legislation that will compel the Government to put it clearly and visibly how view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: 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
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: much resource are allocated to the county governments to support disabled persons. We should audit them annually and get feedback from this section of society on whether they benefited from those resources. The talk about supporting the disabled and allocating them quarters has been going on for long. We need to take stock and audit what actual progress has been made in this regard and what we have attained as a society in terms of bridging the gap between what we allocate and how we support our less fortunate members of the society. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: People might think that disability is about people who are born with it. Actually, as all of us in this House and anywhere else grow older, we become disabled. We cannot avoid it. We all want to live longer. As we do so, we start to lose certain functions that we have. Gradually we lose the ability to walk. That is why we need bridges to cross the roads or access to lifts because all of us will face it one day. We can read, but a time will come when we are unable to do so. We should not ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: With those many remarks, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for this good Motion. I encourage her to think a little broader about how to mainstream the rights and all the services required by disabled persons. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to those of the people of goodwill, who are expressing their sympathies, love and concern to our unfortunate brothers, sisters and families in West Pokot. As a family, nation and as a people, we are mourning the loss of lives of many people whose sin or offence, perhaps, is poverty. They are the poor and vulnerable people who live in one remote area called West Pokot, and they are part and parcel of this nation. Those unfortunate citizens died very sadly. Some of them did not ... view
