• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to, first of all, congratulate Sen. Cherarkey, the Senator for Nandi, for bringing this Amendment Bill on the threshold by county assemblies to impeach CECMs. I would like Sen. Cherarkey and the committee that will deal with this Bill to establish how MCAs can be empowered in order to summon CECMs to county assemblies for questioning, just like we, Senators, summon Cabinet Secretaries here to question them. They only question CECMs at the committee level, which is not enough for them. Secondly, as we recommended the threshold to be ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have also heard so many stories about hon. Sonko’s impeachment. At that time, I was not in the Senate. I have heard many Senators saying that hon. Sonko was impeached for no good reason. It could not just be him alone; perhaps there are others. We should look at the threshold for impeachment of governors and come up with a law that will not be compromised; either by the Senate or county assemblies. That will help us to move forward as a nation. On the issue of Bunge Tower, it should be looked into to ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to follow up on the question that was asked by Sen. Sifuna. The Cabinet Secretary said that the Park belongs to the citizens and only citizens can go there. I would like him to clarify if politicians are not citizens. view

• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my question starts from where we had stopped before on the statement by the Cabinet Secretary. First of all, I want to congratulate her because she is firm on her job. I congratulate you as a woman Cabinet Secretary. My question to Madam Cabinet Secretary is about Bishop Kioko Catholic Hospital in Machakos. The Bishop called me three years ago, complaining to me that their monies have not been remitted by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). This is something that worries many hospitals because they do not know their fate after the Social Health Insurance ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: reached somewhere in terms of the negotiations. Could you tell us something about the timelines and when the doctors will go back to work to start working as usual? view
