Farhiya Ali Haji

Sen. Farhiya Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to support this Petition. Let us assume that we want to conserve the environment, our animals and our heritage. All these will need funds. With the pilferage that is ongoing, we should not lose focus in fighting corruption, so that...

Sen. Farhiya This topic seems to have a lot of interests. In order for me to appear to be fair, I will reduce the time to about two minutes to allow all Members to comment. (Laughter)

This topic seems to have a lot of interests. In order for me to appear to be fair, I will reduce the time to about two minutes to allow all Members to comment.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Chebeni. I welcome the punitive action to be meted to these men going for our girls. I will not even call them men, but hyenas. We are talking about the safety of our girls. What...

are we doing about pastoralist areas where boys go to graze while girls go to school? What are we doing about it?It is high time we took equal measures. What we are doing with our girl child, let us also do with our boy child. We do not want 20...

Thank you. Sen. Poghisio, proceed.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also want to thank Sen. Chebeni for her Statement. This is just to affirm that even if all of us are angry about what is happening with our children. We urge the relevant authorities in Government, beginning with the case in the Nairobi school...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Chebeni for her statement. I urge the Committee for Education led by sen. (Dr.) Langat to ensure they look into that issue. Yesterday, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) released a report on sexual abuses in our schools. It...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Chebeni for bringing this Statement to the Floor of the House. All efforts must be targeted at protecting the girl child who is vulnerable in many ways. The girl child must be protected in schools, churches, homes and everywhere. As we do...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate and thank Sen. Chebeni for bringing this to our attention. I support it because I am a mother and I know the pain of mothers whose daughters have gone through this, while in school. As a society, this is something that we need...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Sen. Mercy Chebeni for this. Last evening, I watched a Committee of the National Assembly doing an impromptu visit to Moi Girl’s, Nairobi. A lot of contradictory information as to what transpired is coming out. In fact, cases...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice. I rise to support this Motion. We should put in place a law that will protect our girls in schools so that they can complete their studies. The global survey shows that there are many women...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support Sen. Mercy Chebeni on the issue of defilement of girls in Moi Girls’ School, Nairobi. This is quite unfortunate. I call upon the relevant authorities to ensure that they carry out a speedy investigation on this matter and bring it...

Ahsante sana, Bi. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa hii. Kwanza ningependa kumshukuru Sen. Mercy Chebeni kwa kuleta Mswada huu. Wanuame ambao kazi yao ni kuwanajisi watoto sio wanaume, bali wao ni wanyama. Wanyama ni bora kuwashinda kwa sababu huweza kutofautisha kati ya watoto na watu wazima. Tabia za wanaume...

Ahsante, Bi. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia Mswada wa Sen. Chebeni. Ninachukuwa fursa hii kumshukuru Sen. Chebeni kwa Mswada wake ambao umekuja katika wakati muafaka. Inaonekana kuna mmomonyoko wa maadili katika nchi yetu, ndio maana wanaume wanatembeatembea wakinajisi watoto wa shule---

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Farhiya Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, the county retirement benefit is very important, especially with an Executive that is changing every five years. It is very commendable that we are creating this fund to ensure that...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Looking at the Preliminary, there is a definition of “approved issuer” which reads that it is according to the definition in the Retirement and Benefits Act and Regulation. As you are aware, June 5, 2018 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Farhiyaregulations change after 10 years,...

Sen. Farhiya Madam Temporary Speaker, I still have so many---

Sen. Farhiya Okay. Madam Temporary Speaker, I still have some contributions to make. Could I ask for your indulgence to give me some more minutes because this is where money is concerned and it is so sensitive? There is also Part IV, that is, Clause 22 (2) (d) which states-...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. There is also Clause 29 which is just a repeat of Clause 28. Particularly, Clause 29 (2) is a repeat of Clause 28 (2) . June 5, 2018 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for your indulgence. Another Clause that was addressed by the Chair is Clause 37. I am still of the view that Clause 37 (a) should be deleted because the essence of retirement benefit is to save for retirement. If the person has worked...

This coming immediately after the devolution has set the foundation is, indeed, a blessing for the region.This infrastructural development will open up...

Sen. Farhiya

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee is not ready to move the Bill.

Sen. Farhiya On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thought a ruling was made that if a Senator is away with the permission of the Speaker, then his or her Statement should wait until he or she comes back. If the Senator is away without permission, then the...

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I also wish to welcome you and other Senators for this Session. One of the things that spoke to my heart is the President’s apology. That was humbling. His statement was healing...

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my Statement, I had requested for a table indicating the number of teachers transferred from schools in Wajir county since 2015 which has been provided. However, I have just gone through the report and they have not indicated the teacher to student ratio.

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I asked for the teacher to student ratio is because I wanted to show the gravity of the issue that is facing Northern Kenya. In the absence of that table, then the essence of this Statement is not satisfactory.

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request that you add me two more minutes because in my county, right now schools have been closed since all the teachers have been transferred by TSC. I beg your indulgence on that. The Speaker (Hon. Lusaka) Go ahead, Sen. Farhiya. Sen. Farhiya...
