• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: As a nation, I think this Bill is going a long way to cover nearly half of our land masses. The land masses of this nation that we ought to depend on are drought prone. In fact, they harbor locusts at times. If we are able to deal with drought even the locusts invasions will be taken care of. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: This is a good Bill. It is something that is establishing an institution that will be dedicated to having its eyes focused on the ball which is drought. Secondly, the same institution will have funds that will be dedicated to dealing with drought. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: I know that many places in this nation are dry but we are only talking about the northern parts. Even where we come from, for instance, in Migori County, we have dry parts that this organization will venture into. We have dry places in Homa Bay. In Migori County if one goes to some parts of Uriri, Nyatike, some parts of Kuria East and West, we have dry places that need this kind of intervention. We, first, need to sort out the many places that suffer extreme drought. Even here in Central Kenya, there are dry parts. There are dry ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: We need not think that drought is a something that is far from us. It is within us and affects places that are also doing badly. Madam Deputy Speaker, with those very many remarks, I beg to second. Thank you very much for the opportunity. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. There are aspects of this Statement that are still important. As we speak today, there are people and families nationally that have been affected by floods. In my county, there are places like Nyora, Modi and Got Kacholla where thousands of families have been displaced. There is no indication or hope from the Government that there will be intervention. They do not have homes, food and intervention for COVID-19 disease. The aspect of this Statement that is asking the Government to show a plan in respect of which it is designed to ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: of Government in this time when the people of Kenya in Lamu, Kisumu, Nyatike, and Busia are destitute and starving without food? Why do we only see an ugly face when we are talking about Government? Where is the merciful, caring and loving face of Government? This is what the Statement is about; it is not about intervening in future, but it is about intervening now. The people in Lamu, Migori, Kisumu, Busia, Siaya, Elgeyo- Marakwet counties and all the flooded places have no food and medication. We are asking where the Government is. Is this Government a government that ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me start by informing Sen. Malalah that the rules of being a member of a union depends on the articles of association or its constitution. Therefore, if the members want non-members of that profession to represent them, it is their democratic choice. I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for raising this concern. We are a Government of law, and the TSC is mandated to follow the law. The Constitution is very explicit on this matter that you cannot compel anybody to be a member of anything that they do not want to ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: However, if you are making people to be members of a union and forcing them to give you money, I think that is impunity and theft that cannot be countenanced by law abiding people, like our disabled people. The matter you are seeing here is symptomatic of what is happening in TSC. TSC is at war with all unions; they have crippled the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), they are fighting Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and all the unions. What is this magnanimity that they are coming up with by creating another union, yet they ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to congratulate the able professor on her election as the Deputy Speaker and for the unanimity, which she has been elected. I want to offer two suggestions with all humility: First, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, you come to this office knowing that this has been a divided House. This House has been acrimonious in its posturing. This House has been disunited. You have seen the unanimity with which we have elected you, and I want to suggest to you to do as best as you can; bend backwards and sideways to ensure that ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: is mainstreamed in Kenya constitutionally, administratively and in terms of resource allocation. With those very few remarks, thank you. view
