• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.33 of the Senate Standing Orders, today, Wednesday, 27th July, 2016, to seek the adjournment of the Senate in order to discuss the very important issue of what is happening to our schools at the moment. Today, there is great destruction of the infrastructure of our schools in this country. As of last night, there were close to 110 schools that have lost property as a result of fire. This has been caused either deliberately or unintentionally, some of which, of course, is accidental. This country spends up to a third ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am quite aware of what this issue is about. I am not confused about this. This is the world where I come from, and I know what I am talking about when it comes to education. view

• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday you directed that the Senate Majority Leader provides time to seek the answer for this Statement. The Senate Majority Leader is, unfortunately, not in the House, but I also made attempts to try and get the answer. The information required needs to be collected throughout the country and compiled to be given to us. They asked that we give them until next week. That is the information I have so far.

• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, this is an urgent matter in that; the industrial action is active on the ground. Last week, there has been enormous destruction of property within the estates where this industrial action is taking place. While I appreciate the difficulty that Senator is going through - like I did in the Ministry of Health - could it be possible that the Chair intervenes with the Cabinet Secretary so that some discussion continues as we wait for the answer in this House to attempt to resolve the industrial action which is taking place on the ground? view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the Adjournment Motion to discuss the issue of destruction of education facilities in this country. I feel very sad that I have to discuss this issue, because it is an issue that should worry all of us, as Senators, or citizens of this country. Our country has invested enormously in education personnel and infrastructure that supports this huge investment that is useful to the country. It is saddening that in the last two and a half months, something has happened to Kenyans, including the children who we send to these institutions. It ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Since this is an issue that I find Members interested, I want to ask that you use your discretion over the Standing Order that requires that contributors have five minutes and that we allow more time for each of the speakers that are contributing in this debate as it is that we have time. I am asking for you discretion. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Senator whom I have a lot of respect for, associate looting or what he refers to as stealing everything with this debate? It has nothing to do with our discussion this afternoon regarding destruction of property in schools. Does he have any factual information that what he is claiming is true? view
