• 27 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute on the Statement by Sen. Chute, my neighbour, on the Kala-azar disease. Kala-azar is a disease whose other name is black fever. It has very high fevers like malaria and is one of the deadliest diseases found. Kala-azar occurred in Kenya not more than 15 years ago and has not been controlled up to now. It is caused by biting flies, especially during dry times. When the areas are dry and there is a lot of deforestation, the flies breed very fast. It mostly affects the young children and is a ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to contribute to Sen. Onyonka’s Statement. I agree with him that every county must have a national referral hospital, especially in areas that I mentioned including Wajir and Mandera. We are almost 1,000 kilometres from Nairobi and the roads are just in a very bad state. view

• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to join also Sen. Lomenen and the rest of the Members who talked. I send my condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones. 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. view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: As you are aware, this country has the longest borderlines with most of the neighbours, especially those that are unstable in Southern Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. Most of these countries are unstable, and there is no proper law and order. There are so many criminals roaming around with their sophisticated weapons. As a result, Kenyan borders have remained porous and unmanned for many years. We have very few officers in the field. Kenyan borders are not manned by Kenyan men and women of the Kenya Defence Forces and police officers, but by the locals. Therefore, it is high time ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: So, I think it is high time that we must accept that those areas need to be developed. Kenyans cannot be rescued, especially in Turkana and Mandera, because of the road conditions. It is time that we give enough budget for those roads to be developed so that we can be able to save Kenyans because we are losing so many lives. view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Hon. Speaker, Sir, mine is a clarification. A lot has been said. One is that currently, SHA is only paying for the services of bed if one is admitted, and surgeries. However, if one goes to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), they have not started paying, as well as medication. If somebody goes for surgery, definitely he or she has to be given medication. The same is not being paid for. This is the same question that my colleague was asking the other time. So, when will ICU and medication payment by SHA start? Last time, we were told that ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Cabinet Secretary, this is the same question she avoided answering for Sen. Chute. That SHA is only paying for bed charges and surgeries. They are not paying for ICU services and medication. When I asked the same question, she avoided it. Please, with all due respect, I want Waziri to answer the question. No, or yes. view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues to condole the families and the people of Baringo on the demise of our colleague, Sen. William Cheptumo. I have known him for the last 15 years. I joined him in the last Parliament. We were together. We were good friends. We had a sitting arrangement where he was my neighbour. He was a self-respecting person, full of humour and wisdom. William Cheptumo is a man who many people believe did not speak well. I mean, he did not speak to people but he is a man who was full of ... view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: I wish them all the best. To the family, take heart. To the people of Malava, remember to reward the deceased and his family. With those few remarks, thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. view
