• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I did not want to interrupt Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, my colleague in the Senate, but I had to do it because this is a House of records. It is important for her to clarify whether she is talking about extra- curricular or co-curricular activities. Her argument is more on extra-curricular in sports rather than co-curricular. We need to know if chess is an extra-curricular activity or co- curricular for us not to talk at cross purposes. I support what she is saying, but she needs to clarify that for the argument to flow without introducing ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, an ID is a right. I remember we had a Motion on this some time back that read along these same provisions. It has been said that if a system is put into place right from the beginning at birth, the data is there. It is really a question of streamlining the data right across from birth. There is a whole 18 years in there, to consolidate all the information, cross check all the information. It can even be automated. It has been said on this Floor that you could actually have somebody aged 18 years being ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Card. All those documents can be used to consolidate the information. If there is any vetting that need to be done, it can be done earlier. This Statement will be assigned to the relevant Committee and I request that they do a thorough job across the board for all Kenyans and not just in one county, because this problem is there in all counties. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Ngugi. We are proud of his determination, fortitude and eloquence, which we hope will be used as the voice of the youth. I got a chance to listen to him in Garissa where he addressed a group of people, and he was spot on. His voice to the youth was loud and clear. We mourn the demise of Sen. Prengei. The Lords gives and takes away. We also appreciate that he has come in his place as a youth representative, which is a difficult task. There is a ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: category. You need to mobilize them and ensure that they understand the message. Enlightening them to become political elites, who can make the right decisions, is probably almost a revolution in this country. This is because they are capable of doing so much. That was a good statement, which was eloquently made. You chose to speak quickly, which is good. That was also your Maiden Speech, which was in the form of a Statement. No other Senator who has come here has used this method of introduction. Therefore, you have been looking at the Standing Orders. As you look at ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill. As I talk about the impact of this Bill right across the medical professions, the Kenya Health Strategic and Investment Plan 2014-2018 in trying to streamline the workers in the health sector, lists several workers apart from talking about what they want to do as they sort their workload et cetera . view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to go through them because it gives you the weight of the health professionals across the board and the requirement that is expected from them which is quite critical; right from radiologists, to psychologists, to mammographers, to urologists, dental staff and laboratory staff. If you think of all these and the rationalization of these health workers, then you are talking about a broad group of people who have specific responsibilities and who are experts in those fields. They are needed in terms of what is expected from the people. For example, non-surgical specialists and ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: In this strategy paper, they also list certain components which are important when allocating workload. For example, various workload components meaning exactly what they are meant to be able to do, the norms and standards that are required therein, the activity standards and how to set those standards. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is what I am hearing my colleagues, Senators, speak about that those activity standards and ensuring that those standards are kept across the board. Whether at level six or level one, two, three and four or whether at national or at the county level. They become important. That is where you begin to have deviations. In the Kenya Strategic and Investment Plan 2014-2018, they reduce the number of required workers for each of the various institutions and where the shortfall is. You can imagine if this shortfall is at the national level. How more is ... view
