• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: One issue I will speak to even in my Statement today is the fact that we are not using means such as radio to advance the course of giving information on issues like mental health. Mental health has become a serious issue. There is the feeling that we are not doing enough as a nation in creating awareness and fighting stigma by telling Kenyans where they can get access. Radio is a means and a tool that is easily accessible and less costly for Government to use send out this information the same they would use it for issues of ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Ngugi for this Statement and representing our young people out there in the built environment profession. Our professionals need to realize that they have people here in Parliament to fight for them. Many times, we do not take it seriously when we are in the professional field. We live in a bubble and do not realize that we need to know who is in Parliament and who can help us. It is good that Sen. Ngugi has brought this Statement. I was just sharing this with the Senator for Homa Bay. I ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, please, I need some protection from a lot of noise. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: These young people with certificates and diplomas form the majority of post-secondary education students and they need to be supported. It is shocking that our students of engineering technologies have finished their studies in diploma and certificates and are still hanging out there because they cannot get jobs for lack of certification and the requirements that they need for them to be able to secure a job. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was just winding up my comments on Sen. Ngugi’s Statement. Our young people who are post-secondary school education doing their diplomas and certificates need to be supported. This is because they are a large population of post- secondary school education students. Before I sit down, I invite the good Senator of Nairobi City County. If at all he wants to join us here to caucus, he does not have to be worried or anything like that. He is welcome to join us. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me a few minutes before I read my Statement. Today, we were supposed to have a meeting with the Committee on Health on a Statement I raised in June, 2021, whose report had finally come. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: If we have had the meeting today, I would have had to drop the Statement because the issues I will raise here are similar to what I had raised last year. However, the Statement went unanswered for long. Whereas we were supposed to have a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary today, he did not show up and there was no excuse. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: I want to register my frustration because we are dealing with mental health issues in the country. These are things that are supposed to be taken seriously, considering we have been having this conservation in this House from 2018. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: The Government is fully seized of the situation in the country. Kenyans right now are suffering mentally. The suicide cases have increased exponentially and yet we are still having boardroom conversations. The Cabinet Secretary does not even appear before the Committee to answer and give progress on mental health interventions to our people in the counties and at national level. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very frustrating but will go ahead and read this Statement in the hope that we can get faster answers and Kenyans can get faster relief when it comes to matters, mental health. view
