"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Catherine Mumma on the spread of cholera across the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, by 6th April this year, there have been 97 confirmed cases of cholera with six fatalities. Twelve of these cases are from Nairobi. The cases spread across all our sub-counties; Kasarani, Embakasi East, Embakasi Central, Kibra and Dagoretti South. Cholera is a condition that makes one dehydrated very fast. It causes death quickly. It is paramount that the Ministry of Health makes very quick response to protect the lives of our people. We need them to give us the latest data so far, because if you search, the latest data was on 5th April and that is over a month ago. We need to know the measures they are taking to make sure that these outbreaks of cholera are not recurrent. As you can see, the counties in question are the usual suspects, with Nairobi having recurrent outbreaks. Every time there is an issue, Nairobi is always featuring. We would like to know what the Ministry is doing to ensure that cholera outbreaks are a thing of the past. We need to know what they are doing about sanitisation and cleanliness in common areas and in our informal settlements, because we know it spreads very fast on contact. What are they doing about the people who have been in close contact with the ones who are already infected? Also, what are they doing to make sure information is out there that we have cholera? What sensitization are they doing to the citizens? Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be brief and comment on the statement you read as the Chair of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. I have keenly listened to colleagues making reference to the process of appointment of the new IEBC commissioners and a reference has been made on competencies. However, from where you sit as the Chairperson of JLAC, if and when this Commission will be set up, you have an opportunity to ensure that the provisions of Article 249 of the Constitution are fully implemented, beginning with this Commission. A few minutes ago when we convened in the Senate, there was talk about the place where this institution, the Senate, has been pushed by the PSC and by extension, the National Assembly. Even in instances where there are clear constitutional provisions on how we should transact business as Parliament, and as a House, we have not fully pulled our weight. On the matter of the budgets for constitutional commissions and independent offices, the Senate must have a say. It is clear in Article 249(3), that Parliament shall allocate adequate funds to enable each commission and independent office to perform its functions and the budget of each commission and independent office shall be a separate vote. This means that when it comes to the budget-making process for all the constitutional commissions and independent offices, the Senate must be involved. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
