• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senator of Kisumu County. I also join my colleagues to thank the former Sen. Harold Kipchumba. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. He is from Kisii. view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to remind ourselves about the 1970s when Polio was a serious threat and we have managed to contain it. Experienced medical health officers must be taken to Kisii and find a way to deal with those bats. I agree with Sen. Okong’o that is a very dangerous issue. If we are not careful, we may be faced with a very serious disease outbreak in Kisii very soon. To make the matter worse, the county governments chased away experienced officers and employed quacks simply because they are from their counties. We shall face a very ... view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me rephrase what I said. I meant that counties released very senior officers who would have worked professionally for them and employed those from their counties. That is something that this Senate must look at to ensure that professionals are brought back. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am requesting the Ministry of Health to look at that issue. As we look at these others, we do not want to celebrate that we have finished what Mr. Harold Kipchumba has done for us and then find ourselves in another situation, where we will start --- We ... view
• 4 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Chairperson tell us whether the national Government agreed with the contractor that when he leaves the site, the contractors who started from the Kisumu to Kakamega will take over? Are the funds from the World Bank allocated for the road still available or have they been diverted to another road? view
• 4 Nov 2015 in Senate: I agree, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Nov 2015 in Senate: That Sen. Mositet will give a proper Statement tomorrow, since he has just received it. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. During the voting on Kiala’s case, I was the one who really insisted to ensure we stand and continue with the precedence we had set in the House. Therefore, we cannot vote without ensuring we have the numbers of delegations we had agreed on as Senate. At the same time, it will be very unfortunate for us to only realize at this time that we need to stick to our rules just because of the convenience of what we have done through this other Motion of the Presidential veto. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, going ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Adan, who is also a former Commissioner of the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC). During her time at the KHRC, she advocated for women who had been raped. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Hassan for the contributions they have made. I also thank our former Vice-President, Hon. Moody Awori who made sure that the plight of prisoners in our country was understood. It was during his tenure that people started having more outreach programmes to prisons. Looking at prisons today, there is need to restructure the whole sector. We are currently ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Migori County for bringing this Bill which is long overdue. We used to have the Constituency HIV/AIDS Board. However, we are now introducing the county committee. Two weeks ago, a young man, a seven year old from Kenya, who has HIV/AIDS, gave a story in New York that moved us. His story was about stigmatization of children who are HIV/AIDS positive in schools. When we devolved health facilities, we did not set up structures to cater for HIV/AIDS counselors and community workers. We need these people to visit homes and assure ... view
