• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let our county governments ensure that even if you cannot construct a clinic at the county referral hospitals, let there be a department where patients facing this kind of condition can seek and find solace in. Yesterday there were reports that a gentleman who was facing the kind of tribulations that we are discussing in this Bill slaughtered his entire family; young children together with his wife. This confirms to you that perhaps even the statistics that Prof. Ongeri was quoting to us might be more compared to the challenges and life pressures that people continue to ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Patients also do not have to come to any of the national health referral facilities to access these services. Part II of the Bill talks about the rights of the persons with mental illness and it is quite interesting. Our Bill of Rights is celebrated and hailed as one of the most progressive in the world. Every time we are drafting our Bills what we need to learn from Sen. Kasanga is that we should remember each and every figment and fragment of society to ensure that mentally ill patients have rights which ought to be respected as defined in ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is why I support this Bill 100 percent. We are now making it mandatory by law that they are allowed to fully participate in affairs of the community in any suitable position based on a person’s interests and capabilities. We shall not be able to go to a function and say: “I cannot listen to you”. Some of these people have been known to help even at times when you least expect. Madam Temporary Speaker, in this country, power usually shifts back to the true owners after every five years. When politicians retreat back to the ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Chairperson of the Committee on Education is finally here. I was worried when we were making our contribution and I could not spot him in the House. However, now that he is here, I will make my comments very brief. As leaders, we must never lose the thought of what it feels like to be an ordinary citizen. It is unfortunate that somebody cursed us in Africa. The people that are supposed to be solving problems create private solutions to public problems. If there is traffic jam on the roads, the people who are supposed to ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, l would like to inform the Chairperson that earlier on before he came in, Sen. Pareno did report that in follow up to that Petition, what the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TSC promised the Committee is not accurate information. She has made the phone calls and has confirmed that it is completely untrue. She actually misled your Committee. Sen. Pareno is back to her position maybe she would better inform the Chairperson. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to contribute to this grave issue. What happened to our colleague, Sen. Loitiptip, is sad. That Saturday was a good night for football lovers because we watched the game. The Senate Majority Leader has stated what happened to him on his way home. I request our colleagues, Members of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, to take the lives of our colleagues seriously. Sen. Loitiptip was assaulted. Before that, the security of Sen. Kihika, who is the Senate Majority Whip, was withdrawn. These are colleagues they sit with in a Committee that ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: operations of the national Government. The national Government misbehaved by taking away the security of one of us, but they did not do anything about it as a Committee. Now, another Member of the Committee was assaulted. We do not know what will happen to another Member. This issue should not be treated casually. Since this is a matter of urgency, the Chairperson of the Committee should ensure that they summon the IG of Police to give a status of things that are being reported here. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: I have been told that the suspects have been released for only Kshs20,000. What investigations have they conducted so quickly to a point of determining that that person is innocent? It is extremely unfortunate and should not be taken lightly. Madam Temporary Speaker, when the Senate Majority Leader was speaking, I was just wondering. Supposing Sen. Anuar, was amongst the well-known Members of Parliament or even well-known public figures - and I do not wish anyone bad - would this case have been given the kind of blackout and treated with non-concern that it--- view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I register my support to my colleague, Sen. M. Kajwang, about this issue which is extremely important to the residents that he represents in this House. I listened to him present the issues and the challenges that people in that region continue to face. I wonder whether the Government considers them as citizens of this country. I will go straight to what is a trend that is clearly emerging and the new Constitution has not saved us from it. It was envisioned that when we pass the Constitution of Kenya, ... view
