• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Sifuna for this. Could the Statement also include a confirmation that the Government intends to deny the non-practice allowance paid to doctors and clinical officers who work in public hospitals? This is meant to cushion them when they are working in public practice because they do not enjoy the opportunity to benefit from their skills in private medical practice. This is a cross-cutting issue, let them also confirm that the same non-practising allowance for judges and magistrates will also be scrapped. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, our Majority Leader is right but he should have started by asking me to define what is the non-practising allowance. Non-practising allowance is not paid to doctors in private practise but to doctors in the Civil Service. I left the civil service when the Majority Leader was in the kindergarten. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: That was the last time I enjoyed that non-practising allowance. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of the peculiar interest of the younger Members of the fair sex in this House, let me not disclose my age. This is important so that the country is on the same page. A doctor currently working in a public hospital is paid the non-practising allowance of Kshs35,000, a clinical officer is paid Kshs20,000, a judge is paid Kshs20,000 and a magistrate is paid Kshs15,000. This is meant to cushion them considering their colleagues make more money from their profession in the private practice and to not get attracted to go into private practice at ... view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: On the part of judges and magistrates, imagine if a judge who, is looking for money, takes instructions from a client and later on in the day, in the fullness of time, the same client appears before him as a judge. So, we are supposed to cushion them so that they do not camp. There is confusion. People think that doctors are looking for Kshs25,00 or 35,000 which to them is peanuts. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: When we carry out one operation, we make between Kshs50,000 and Kshs200,000 for a one-hour operation. So, when we sacrifice and not go for those operations and take care of your families, give us the Kshs35,000 so that we buy some little presents for our children and in my case, my grandchildren. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sorry. I did not realize that the Senate Majority Leader had stepped out of the House. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: I was just exercising my powers as a Whip but not at the right time. It does not make sense to me that after you have spent an entire afternoon trying to return the House to an orderly way of doing business, Members on my side knowing very well that I am their Whip--- view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Sen. Kinyua and Sen. Cherarkey, this is the House of Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, he paid with his life. This is the House of Robert Ouko, he paid with his life. This is the House of Tony Ndilinge, he paid with his life. You might be thinking that you are in a small place.

• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you conspicuously noticed that when you were being requested to retract your Statement, which you had read midway, and when Members were requesting for apologies, I did not request to speak. We are losing it. I am referring to those great men who, because people wanted them out of the way so that they would not continue being here, just to remind ourselves that this is a serious platform. view
