• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Kakamega County – who has announced publicly that he also wants the type of seats where people sit and they are carried around – in order to say that there are militias? In fact, those are public servants employed as law enforcement officers similar to the Inspectorate Department of Nairobi County just like any other. Is he in order to refer to them as militia? That is a dangerous term to use. He should withdraw. view

For the last three years, there has been a running epidemic of a disease called dengue fever that is spread by mosquitoes. In western Kenya, the malaria epidemic has been running from Kisii to the former Western Province for months. In other parts of this country it is cholera. Mr. Speaker, Sir, has the preventive department that deals with vector-borne communicable diseases collapsed in the Ministry? If it has not, what is exactly happening? Why ... view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson has not responded to the clarifications we sought. Treated mosquito nets are not preventive measures for mosquito control. Prevention means dealing with the vector that is responsible for the breeding. Could the Chairperson tell us how a Ministry that is able to send dozens of specialists all the way to West Africa to fight Ebola is unable to send a specialized team to these counties where there is a crisis, even with the county governments in place? There has to be some action by the Ministry. This is not about ... view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. Some members of this House have not been taking the business of this House seriously. Now, we are being told to sacrifice our mornings in order to catch up because people failed to participate in the proceedings of this House for which they have been elected to do. Every day, in the afternoon we are here. We are unable to execute decisions such as voting for Bills and issues regarding the Committee of the Whole due to lack of quorum. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is about leadership of this House. There ... view
