• 19 Oct 2021 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
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: of the accident victims of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 that happened on 10th March, 2019. We have listened to the Committee and the process through which they underwent. They met the manufacturers of the aircraft that crashed. This particular aircraft had 157 passengers and crew onboard who all perished and could not be recognised. This is traumatic and is something that the family members will live with for a long time. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Their request to this Committee was that we push the Government to give them death certificates which they will in turn use to get compensation from the manufacturers of that aircraft and from the Ethiopian Airlines. They also asked that we compel the Government to provide counselling and therapy or trauma treatment for them. I am surprised this Committee did not come up with recommendations that would satisfy the members of this family. In my many works, including many years of teaching report writing, I have never seen a report that does not have recommendations. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: I would recommend that we give the report back to the Committee so that they to come back with recommendations that would satisfy us. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my colleagues in condemning the murder of our athlete and champion, Agnes Tirop. view
• 19 Oct 2021 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
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Sen. (Prof.) Kamar has raised very important points on us adopting these children and making them the property of the country. I call them children because they go into these camps right from high school. I am glad that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar is going to be the Governor of Uasin Gishu County because it is the source and the keeper of athletes. She will be the first one to pick up this issue and make them children of the county first before the National Government picks up on them. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, what we are missing out here is the issue of gender- based violence. After this lady was murdered, the husband or boyfriend is on the run and he is being looked for. This is a matter of violence against women because women are considered weak and helpless. They can only be helped and cannot help themselves. We call the country to this issue. Of late, we have had many young women or wives being killed by their spouses or the people they trust to protect them. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: This is a societal problem. The loss of a champion like Agnes Tirop is also a loss to this country. She raised our flag very high as well as our country. She earned us foreign exchange and improved our economy. That one single person, when we lose her to something mundane is unfortunate. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we need to put up a social welfare scheme to help our sportsmen and women, whether they are in camps or outside; a follow-up mechanism to find out how they are doing. Earning money as a young person is a challenging thing. You get money, but with little responsibility. These people need guidance, counselling and therapy all the time as a programme, not only when things go wrong. view
