• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to speak on this amendment. Indeed, it was my wish to do that. But, unfortunately, when I was speaking, there were very many interruptions and the time ran out. I thank Sen. Elachi for moving the amendment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Senate, we either believe in the rule of law or we do not. We either have to tell Kenyans that sometimes we can go the jungle way and sometimes, we can follow the law and as lawmakers, we should set the right example. You cannot say that because ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. What Sen. Elachi was doing is actually tiding up this Motion, because it is hanging in the air and does not make sense because that bit on top has been removed. I hope now that when the final Motion is done, it will be tidied up to make sense, like people who have been to school. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following paper on the Table of the Senate, today, 5th December, 2013. The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) Annual Report, 2012. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important and timely Motion. I congratulate Sen. Mositet for bringing it to the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, indeed, like all those who have spoken before me, I would like to indicate that this Motion touches on a number of Ministries and not just one Ministry. I want to support Sen. G.G. Kariuki for suggesting that we should involve the Ministries when we prepare important Motions. This is because even if we come up with Bills and pass them without consulting the Ministries and getting their ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe that there is confusion or probably the Act still reads what was there previously. We now have six levels. Level one is on community health. Level two refers to dispensaries. Level three refers to health centres while level four refers to district hospitals. Level five refers to the former provincial hospitals and level six to the national hospitals. That is how we have been operating. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, community health is now regarded as level one. When we deliver services there, we regard it as level one. In the system and according to Vision 2030, there are six levels in the health sector. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Some of the statements being made by the Senator for Kirinyaga are serious. I wonder if the Senator can ascertain which hospital patients with tuberculosis and other infectious diseases share beds because this is not allowed. Tuberculosis patients are, in fact, isolated. Could he share this with us so that we address the situation? view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for the opportunity to support this Report by the Health, Labour and Social Welfare Committee. Indeed, health is one of the major areas in any country that have to be taken care of. Although we have a long way to go, we should acknowledge that Kenya has come a long way in taking care of our health sector. That is why I was very keen to hear what the last speaker, Sen. Karaba had to say. If, indeed, that were true, that any health officials were making tuberculosis patients to share beds with others while ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I appreciate that but if you listened also to the contributions which have been made here, they were mainly challenging the health system. I think for the Chair to put something together on where we need to concentrate is also enlightening on what is there. To me, I think we are doing this wholistically because if you leave people with a lot of issues which are not factual, it will put everything in disarray, not knowing where to focus. Let me now talk about devolution and the connection with the Ministry of Health and what we can ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for allowing me to address the honourable Senators. I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my family, my sister Catherine and other Kenyans who have gone through this terrible thing. We were with you yesterday and received your contributions and condolences for all of us who were unlucky to be part of the families that suffered loss. It is very hard to explain how, not only what my family but all the other 60 something families who were The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
