• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, like those who have come before me, I am proud of the Committee. I thank the House for having suggested that I sit in the Committee. I am aware that today, we are marking a time when Members of the Committee are celebrating the sweat of their industry, especially demonstrated by the commitment. We never had issues of quorum. We also had high levels of confidentiality to the extent that this Report is now reaching the public for the first time because there were no leakages. The Committee was co-chaired by Sen. Murkomen and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg Sen. Lesuuda to understand that--- view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am persuaded that, indeed, I am in order because during debate, a Senator is expected to advance his thinking to persuade the other Senators to agree with him or her. I am in order to that extent. However, if you do not agree with me, you do so through a rebuttal. I am a medical doctor and I know the difference between somebody living with disability and somebody who is lucky not to live with a disability. Therefore, I want the country to know that in no way, I am suggesting inability of persons with disabilities ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought that is the obvious. The fact that they are there is obvious because it is provided for in the Constitution but I am now talking about the Kenya of the future. We want to sort out these things once and for all. If there is a way we can do it better, and I am saying we can, you can easily in this country provide that instead of the one-third rule, you put it 50-50 but in appointive offices so that when you tell the President, that he or she will not form the Government ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me put it in the bigger picture. People who compete for elections must demonstrate to the youth and persons with disabilities that when they get into office, they will address their concerns. We may run away from it but the truth is that our elective positions are bloated. I have articulated all of them right from the number of constituencies touching on the number of MPs, reducing the number of governors, Senators and MCAs. Therefore the reduction is not targeting persons with disabilities; it is targeting a national problem. If these things will not work one ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you. Let me answer Sen. Kittony first. It is the Constitution that we are trying to amend for it to suit our situation and I am giving my thoughts. Sen. Njoroge said that people living with disabilities cannot win an election. I want to inform him that hon. Timothy Wanyonyi, Member of Parliament for Westlands won an election; the late Dr. Ellon Wameyo worn an election; Sen. Leshore worn an election; Sen. Hassan of Kamukunji worn an election as far as the youth are concerned. I now want to address Sen. Lesuuda, just take a bit of time and ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: I think with all due respect, you are now over burdening me with your own opinion. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, because I am addressing the nation. I want the nation to know that I am advancing my opinion and the opinion of those as many as they are who think that we should address the issue of the cost of maintaining the administrative structure under the new Constitution. In that opinion, I am not vindictive, I have addressed all the sects knowing that in the eyes of the Lord, living with or without disability we are all equal, and I have confirmed that many people have won elections and will continue to do so. I know these ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, health under the new Constitution is fully devolved. Could the Chairperson tell us what the Governor of Nairobi County is doing to ensure that the four million Kenyans who live in his county have access to ICU beds considering that there are only 21 public ICU beds in all public hospitals in Nairobi? view
