• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to follow up on where you stopped by saying zero to 17 years, and most of the victims are above those years. Is it their fault that they did not get the care that they needed until they were above the years? What can be done for them to be compensated? I will follow up with the concerned people on the ID numbers and the clarification. I will also make sure that they will come back to you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Even as we do that, can they also be registered in the cash transfer programmes, especially the PWDs who are completely unable to do anything for themselves? The majority of them are blind. Those should be included in the cash transfers even if they are not at the age of 70 years. The Ministry should also consider the children. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: I will call you back. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Not you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am commenting on this Statement by Sen. Sifuna for Nairobi City County about Ms. Florence Wanza, a driver, who disappeared in DRC. I understand that the lorry is back here in Kenya without the driver and nobody seems to know where she is. So, I am wondering if the lorry is more important than a human being. I request the committee which the Statement will be referred to, to make sure that they handle this issue expeditiously. That is why we are saying that we need the kamukunji soon because committees have to ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: the work at the Senate. Without the committees working and functioning properly, the work of the Senate will be stuck. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations to take this matter very seriously because the parents of Florence are having sleepless nights because they do not know where their daughter is. The other Statement is by the Senator for Kisumu about fires in schools. When parents take their children to school, they know that they are safe and secure. When these fires happen and children die and even some disappear without a ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, what are you doing about those with severe disabilities who need 24-hour care, and are also eligible to be enrolled in the persons with severe disability programme? Just a follow-up to the question that Sen. Mandago asked; hon. Cabinet Secretary, you say that you are not aware of the people who are working with the Cooperative Bank and Mwalimu Sacco, yet we had called the previous Cabinet Secretary to the ad hoc Committee. He came with his team, just like you are with your team today and we raised all these ... view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. Mr. Witness you stated that you have been whipped on party lines in the previous impeachment Motions. Does anyone not have a right to stand with their understanding? If you knew the Governor was either right or not, why then did you agree to take over the Motion that the lady told us she drafted? You took it over because you were sure that the Governor was going to be impeached, so that you could take the glory. I believe that even in this Senate, we have parties and people who ... view
• 14 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which I oppose. This is a sensitive and delicate matter. The governor has been brought here three times. I oppose the committee way because all Kenyans will follow what is happening in this House. It is important for it to be in plenary, so that everyone can follow what the lawyers, the governor, and the county will say and how the Senators will interrogate the matter, including the people of Meru County. I oppose the Motion and support the plenary way. view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the Statements that have been read here. I will start with the Statement by the Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kathuri Murungi, Senator for Meru. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Statement regarding what is happening right now in the counties is very timely. Doctors, nurses and even cleaners in hospitals are not well taken care of. One, they are underpaid. Two, they are vulnerable because they meet patients with all manner of diseases and they are to treat them without fearing for their lives. These are people to be taken care ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: work in a conducive environment that will even encourage them to continue doing the good work that they do. Madam Temporary Speaker, in Machakos, I have seen cleaners cleaning blood, urine and all manner of dirt in hospitals. There is a contractor who has a contract with the county government to employ cleaners. The cleaners go for up to seven months without pay yet he is earning his pay every month. When the Standing Committee of Health considers this Statement, they should also look into the welfare of the cleaners who clean in county hospitals at all levels. They should ... view
