• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to add my voice on this important Motion concerning the shortage of doctors in our counties. We know that health is a devolved function and most of the responsibilities lie with the counties to ensure that health facilities are functioning. However, they are facing challenges. One challenge is that when doctors were transferred, there should have been wide consultations between the Kenya Medical Dentists and Practitioners’ Board (KMDPB) which is a body that regulates and works closely with doctors. Doctors feel insecure working in the counties. The reason they feel so is ... view

• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in commending the Senate Majority Leader in representing us in this particular Bill. He has told the House that he spoke to the President and has also written to him. I want to know whether he also expressed concerns about other Bills. Right from day one, this House has seen Bills being passed by the National Assembly but not passing through this House for concurrence. The first one was the Division of Revenue Bill. I expected him to list all the Bills so that when he meets the President ... view

• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to add my voice to this issue. I was a Member of the ad hoc committee that was set up last year. It has been in the public domain that Sen. (Dr.) Zani had brought a Bill on natural resources to the Floor of this House. The Bill has taken the Committee Members to various counties to determine the benefit sharing of royalties. We went up to Australia. The Government has spent money to finance us to travel. Therefore, I do not think that we should wish away ... view

• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to add my voice to this very important Bill which has been brought to the Floor of the House by Sen. Njoroge. The Bill is very thoughtful. He has moved very key amendments to the Bill. When you look at this Bill, it recognizes persons living with disability. When you go further and read Section 10, what the Senator has asked is for the Council to submit a report to the Senate, the National Assembly and the Cabinet Secretary responsibility for matters relating to persons with disability. The electronic version of the ... view

• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill seeks to establish a legal framework so that we can engage with the counties and the national Government concerning persons living with disabilities who are actually a forgotten society. I wish to thank Sen. Njoroge for being so thoughtful about our friends out there and for bringing up this Bill to the Senate so that we can enact it into law. However, the problem that we have is implementation. That needs to be followed up because it is a good Bill. We are going to touch the lives of many people out there. Working ... view
