Most times, to many of the people that we represent in this House, NHIF is the only cover that they can afford. Therefore, when an employee of a County Government, such as Nairobi, after having been deducted, is informed of the issue that Sen. Omanga is bringing before this House, that their cards are inactive because some unscrupulous, either Governor or NMS or I do not know who has spent that money to do other businesses, maybe to lay these cabros that we are seeing being laid across the entire street of Nairobi like NMS is doing, to pay the ...

One of the things you can never touch is personal emoluments because it is specific and is supposed to serve a specific purpose. It is unfortunate if this is found to be true. In fact, that public officer that has sanctioned that move should be named and shamed by this House. If they are certified public accountants, we should send their names to ICPAK and ask that they be debarred and not allowed to practice as an accountant in this country, because it is unfortunate and sad. Many of these people do not earn beyond the figures that those in ...

I know it is necessary to give caution because of what happened in the National Assembly, but this is the “upper” House. In my two terms in the Senate, I have never seen us disagree and dissent to the levels that you witnessed in the other House. Next time when such a communication is done, it is proper that it does not go ...

On two or three occasions I have received news that Senators in the course of going about their duties; sometimes part of their duties involves travelling out of the country have been stopped at the various border points and told that there is a directive from the Executive that no Senator should travel outside the country until we finish consideration of this Bill that is before this House.

I do not know whether this matter has come to your attention and what is your comment about it. If it is true, then it is rather a grave matter. If we are descending to levels where Members are being stopped from going about their duties, some official or with family because of business that is before the House, then this country is descending to levels lower than has ever been since Independence. I would appreciate that you give a firm commitment to the Members of this House that they are as free as the Constitution
