• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: neighborhood cultural events. All that comes from the home background to the daycare centres, and everywhere else. It is important to properly integrate these children, so that they understand and follow everything else. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Apart from all that, I have said that there must be teachers to handle the daycare centres. The ECDE training colleges must be monitored and inspected to ensure that the curriculum they are training for is relevant to the cluster of children that they will meet. If that is not taken care of, you will find irrelevancies cropping into those schools, and therefore, the children will miss the opportunity to get a correct orientation of education. If children do not receive a proper foundation, they will be lost by the time they get to Grade One of primary school. We ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Another issue is that when those children walk, any trenches or holes and the leaves must be taken care of. You can call it a small hospital, but they must take extra care because it is important for their lives. That is the formative stage that they need to acquaint themselves with the environment. If the environment is foul, they will go the foul way. If the environment is conducive, they will go the conducive way. Therefore, we have a moral responsibility of ensuring that the environment is right. That is why I take ECDE as an important stage in ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: I foresee a problem because some of the compounds are shared facilities between the primary and the ECDE sections. I do not know how we shall separate these two levels, so that they do not usurp because there is a tendency for the bigger boy to usurp the responsibility of the younger boy. They would claim that children going to ECDEs have not started learning and, therefore, can wait. That is wasting their valuable time when they should be learning at that time. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: If need be, we should have separate centres away from the primary setting, so that they know that they are safe within their environment, curriculum development and healthcare. With those few remarks, I support this Motion. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree with you. What I meant is that there are two separate classes of workers; those in the offices and those in the home environments. The bottom line is that they are all workers. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to move- view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: THAT, this House adopts the Reports of the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments on the consideration of the Audit Reports of the following County Executives for the Financial Years 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/2018,laid on the Table of the Senate on Thursday, 11th February, 2021- (i) view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. For me, this Cooperative Society Bill is a game-changer. Why do I say so? Any country that is able to mobilise savings at the lowest level of those savings, in this case at the county level, will be a game-changer. This is because there is so much squandering of resources and money at that level that even those who have the need and the desire to make the savings are not able to do those savings because of so many other individuals, the so called brokers who come in between to mislead members of societies. ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: amendment is seeking to change and realign it with 2010 Constitution that has two levels of government; the national Government and county government. It is important that most of these primary responsibilities and primary societies are at a grassroots level, and they are being managed by the county governments. It is reasonable and fair that the societies must be at the eye or supervision of county executive. I am persuaded to support this amendment Bill because it gives us a meaning of a primary society; whether it is a society for mama mboga, a family society, youth society, Jua Kali ... view
