• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not mind giving her one minute. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to join my colleagues in supporting the Statement by Sen. Hamida Kibwana. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I gave one minute to Sen. Tabitha Keroche, the Senator for Nakuru County. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support the Statement by Sen. Kibwana. As you are aware, it is not only the Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, the situation of health in this country is very difficult and unfortunate. Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital is situated in Eastleigh, where the highest population of this City is. We suspect many of them cannot even afford to pay for those services. It is unfortunate that Nairobi City County is receiving a substantial amount of revenue collection. I, therefore, request the governor to at least increase the number of beds and services. Generally speaking, the national ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: quarter, or even biannually and they cannot even provide drugs in time. Therefore, health services in the counties are almost failing just because these counties are not receiving their monies in time to buy drugs and pay for the services of the doctors and other medics. Social services, like renal issues, HIV treatments, and all these things, are now facing many challenges in the counties. The counties are employing more staff. They are opening more hospitals--- view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also join the other members to support the Report. First, I commend the committee for the excellent work they have done. Visiting 80 water companies is not an easy thing, knowing the resources available in this Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, water is a very crucial resource in our life. Kenya has plenty of water, but is always scarce to be utilized or accessed by people. Kenya also has the highest number of institutions that manage water. We have nine regional developments and companies in every county that manage water, but water is ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: The money is available from World Bank and the county is supporting, but the resources are not well-managed. The company is also experiencing issues to do with resource generation. Wajir does not have a water source, it has no rivers, it is landlocked. It depends on boreholes. We currently have about 600 boreholes which have been managed by communities in different parts of the county. The boreholes are run by committees and have now become a cash cow for the communities. Instead of paying money now to WAJWASCO, the communities are not ready to let the boreholes be managed by ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you so much. I wish to contribute to the Consideration of the National Assembly Amendments to the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bills No.19 of 2024). Our counterparts have not been very serious on these issues. The funds for the Senate have already been reduced so greatly, and the funds for counties have been reduced. While the National Assembly is looking for more money for the National Government Constituencies Development Funds (NG-CDF), they keep on reducing funds for counties, the Senate, and other open institutions. Eighty five per cent of this money collected by the ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: council offices like Tharaka-Nithi County, Lamu County, Elgeyo-Marakwet County and Isiolo County. Some of their offices have not been done up to now, 12 years down the line. It is not fair for the Kshs528 million to be removed from the budget. Those people are living in makeshifts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue is the Community Health Promoters (CHPs). They offer very important health services. The CHPs that were engaged the other day have not been paid. They earn little money of Kshs5,000 per month, which is peanuts, yet their services mean a lot to Kenyans, especially in the ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am ready. view
