• 6 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is on the procedure and how we are progressing. I want to seek some clarification. I would not like to talk about the report. To me, it seems that we have gone further and we are discussing what the Chairman of the Committee has tabled here. If, in your wisdom, you will agree with Sen.

• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in supporting that petition by the Union of Nurses from Uasin Gishu County. The issues they have raised cut across all the 47 counties.

This sector is very crucial as it deals with lives. It deals with people. At times, people go for medication in hospitals, health centres or dispensaries and lack medicines or find doctors and nurses on strike. The committee must really investigate. To ... view

• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for that ruling, which means you have considered all our views which we placed before you yesterday. In your ruling, you only mentioned that you have suspended all Committee meetings. There are other Committees which will go out of Nairobi. Will they be affected? Owing to the importance of the business, I thought in your communication, you should have said all the Committees whether they are within Nairobi or outside, should cancel their business. view
