• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: , those rates are so high that some people have preferred to do without electricity. Many people have turned to solar power because they can no longer afford electricity due to the rates. That should also be checked. Even as we ask the counties to pay, the bills should be checked. They should agree on the mode of payment because as I speak, in Machakos Town, there are streets without lights because electricity bills have not been paid. That is the situation all over the country and not just in Sen. Cherarkey’s area. The counties and Kenya Power should sit ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. My question to the Hon. Cabinet Secretary is; what happens if a Cabinet Secretary is moved to a different Ministry to ensure that the next Cabinet Secretary implements the same things? I am asking this because like him, he has been moved from Foreign Affairs. I asked the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs questions that have not been answered to date. Also, when he was in the tourism sector, there were things to do with tourism, wildlife conflicts, and fencing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, please let me finish. It will ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not answering. view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sir, my question concerns the questions Sen. (Dr.) Murango asked, which the Cabinet Secretary answered well. However, in case the recommendations are not made while he is still in that Ministry, what measures do they put in place to ensure that the next Cabinet Secretary follows up and implements them? This is similar to the questions we had asked him from the former Ministries where he was and have not been answered to date. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary a question about insecurity. The insecurity that Sen. (Dr.) Murango is talking about is not only in Murang’a but also in Machakos. There is a lot of insecurity especially in a place called Matungulu in Machakos County and other areas. What are you doing about it? There is also the issue of transfer of police officers who have been serving in some stations for more than three years. view
• 4 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I want to comment on Sen. Cherarkey’s Statement about the state of affairs in Kapsabet County Referral Hospital. I also want to comment on the Statement by Sen. Muma on SHA. When our people go to hospitals, they end up buying medicine. We wonder where the money we sent to counties go. These two statements must be followed-up properly. Others are suffering because of SHA because it is not working. It takes a long process for patients to access SHA and be treated. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 4 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment about the Statement of Sen. (Dr.) Murango about the teachers' insurance cover. If there are no teachers in this country, you cannot be seated there on that Speaker’s Chair. Teachers do a lot of work and that is why we are here. Every institution has workers. Therefore, this issue of medical covers for teachers must be addressed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on Sen. Onyonka's Statement about the widow who was kicked out of her matrimonial home. Widows are suffering in this country. Once their husbands die, ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my question is also related to that, but on a different direction of human resource. That is the doctors. Most of our people go to dispensaries and Level 2 and 3 hospitals, yet the people working there cannot administer services such as high blood pressure medication. Therefore, they are forced to go to Level 4 or 5 hospitals, but they are not allowed to do that. What are you going to do about dispensaries and Level 2 hospitals, so that at least we have doctors there who can attend to old people in the villages who ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary has told me that the high blood pressure and diabetes medications are at Level 3 Hospitals. 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: How will the people in the village know that that medications are at Level 3 Hospitals? What are you doing in cooperation with the counties to make sure that the people know where they should be going for these medications? They go to the dispensaries and Level 2 Hospitals and they are told, ‘we do not administer those kinds of medications.’ Can there be a way of reaching out to the mwananchi to know where they should go for diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis medications? Those are the sicknesses that are down on the ground. view
