• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion by Sen. Khaniri, which was ably moved today by Sen. Kasanga. Members of the disciplined forces provide service to the country; they keep our borders safe and friendly so that Kenyans can continue to do their businesses appropriately. However, it is absurd that we do not have a policy or programme to take care of members of the society who make sure that we are safe. What these people have to go through, in maintaining law and order in this country, is immeasurable. The effect of ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: We also have public servants and their families in our embassies. In the course of their work, they undergo many challenges, for example, transfers should be done with a human face. If people have children in the final year of school, that family should not be transferred to the next station until the children complete their final year. This is because making those abrupt changes affects families. It is, therefore, not just in the disciplined forces, but also in other cadres of Government employees who are sometimes referred to as public or civil servants. We should not take advantage of ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the adjournment of debate on this important Motion. We would like to have many more Senators speaking to it so that these issues are broadly discussed. We would also like to have more Kenyans listening to these issues and joining the fight for the recognition of the problems in the disciplined forces. view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to contribute to the Statement on the embassies. However, I would also like to thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for this Statement and indicate that the Statement had come to this House in the form of a Petition. The Petition was looked into by the Committee on Health last year and the Report is ready. I do not know if it was shared with the Senator. view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill, which is long overdue, especially in the devolved system. As indicated earlier, this Bill will help establish a county hall of fame in each county, and provide a framework for the preservation of history, heritage and the culture of counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, many Kenyans have brought glory and honour to the country, but they do not get recognised mainly because it is done at the national or central level. This process needs to be decentralized so that county governments can have an opportunity to recognize ... view
