• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a matter of grave concern to this country. I am sure we all have been seeing this in the newspapers. These statistics are shocking. I congratulate Sen. Khaniri from Vihiga County for bringing this Statement which is extremely timely. Beyond speaking about it, I would wish to see some things put in place so that this does not continue happening. 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
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: There was a picture that was circulating in the social media where students - I think it was in Kisumu County - were going to classes to do the examinations. Each of them was carrying a baby and there was a line of about 20 or something. It looked ridiculous. This should not be happening. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Looking at the Statement, we have statistics where some of the teachers have been found to have committed some of the vices as it is stated here. However, I am quite surprised that the most the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is doing is to terminate the employment of those teachers. We must get them prosecuted because just dismissing or firing people is not enough. If you are a teacher who is responsible for the children and you impregnate them, you are worse that the devil. I mean that to all “women eaters.” view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: As a teacher, you are supposed to be taking care of our girls. When you impregnate them, you should be stoned. I am somebody who believes in following due process but in this case, we should probably castrate them. That might be the softest punishment for them. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: No right thinking man can impregnate a 10 year old girl unless they are crazy. They should be six feet under or in a jail at a minimum. I can see that has bothered some of my colleagues but until we become strict on some of these issues as a country, we cannot move forward. How on earth can a 10 year old child be pregnant and we are sitting here talking about what? view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) should get on board and find out what is going on and who is impregnating the girls. I do not care that it could be their classmates. If they are responsible, they should be prosecuted. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Maybe I should give a bit of sexual education here. Under no circumstances can a ten-year old girl consent to having sex. So, under no circumstances can this be legal. I believe we must begin from the criminal part of it and move forward. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Again, like Sen. Khaniri has stated here, sex education is key in this country. We cannot continue shying away from such discussions and talking to our children because clearly there is a problem and an issue. Until we face it head-on, we cannot make any progress. This cannot be business as usual because it is not normal to have a 13 year old becoming pregnant because that is a child. view
