• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Sen. Sakaja for the good work that they are doing. More questions will be coming soon. Do not get tired of my over-work. However, when I gave this Statement on the Welfare Support for Unionisable Employees, I also wanted this to go beyond COVID-19 as an emergency and look at other emergencies. How are they using the Emergency Fund to respond to other emergencies? COVID-19 was just one of them. I had requested for direction that this Statement goes to the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, where Sen. Sakaja is ... view

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: In the recent selection of colleges and universities among the 2019 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates who scored C+ and above, hence qualifying to enroll for university degrees, 2,632 chose to join TVET for technical diploma courses. This is laudable. In developing countries, TVET plays two major roles in national sustainable development. One is to provide training opportunities and career advancement avenues for the increased school leavers and, two, to provide skilled manpower at all levels. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during this time, we notice that students who even qualify to join universities preferred to join TVET. The skills ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was trying to hurry through the Statement to beat time. Thank you for that allowance of some more minutes. Innovation is key. First, there needs to be substantial change in the curriculum materials used, selection of trainers and training to ensure TVET progressively responds to evolving labour demands. Our young people have gone ahead and observed this before the system of Government policies does by deciding on their own volition to choose TVET courses instead of university courses. Deployment of organizational practices is crucial to support innovation in this Sector which plays a significant ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Lastly, a robust system at the national level should set criteria for the management of quality courses such as evidence based TVET quality assurance management system to ensure employees, apprentices or trainees in enterprises and TVET institutions have the right awareness, skills, knowledge and attitudes is very vital. Technology can also be employed to deliver TVET to more people as virtual platforms become globally available in this era of the new normal so that our young people can have a chance to get jobs even outside this country because these skills that are offered at TVET level are very popular ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Mover of the Motion did not indicate to us initially or to you that he will read that report word by word.

• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to make this Statement on behalf of Sen. Mugo. She would like to declare her interest in the matter beforehand.

She made a call to her grandson to take ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: diagnosed with heart complications and informed that it required urgent surgery. This was between 2.00 a.m. and 3.00 a.m. Sadly though, the hospital demanded that before the surgery could be performed, a deposit of KShs500,000 had to be paid upfront. Unfortunately, the young man could not raise such a huge amount of money. Therefore, he resorted to calling his aunt, whom he thought would be in a better position to handle such a financial obligation. He thus embarked on a journey back to Ruiru to pick up his aunt. Mr. Speaker, Sir, considering that it was still during curfew hours, ... view

We have other Bills that have amendments that we need to pass this afternoon. He does not need to explain the amendments because we have the amendments. view
