• 28 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion- THAT, AWARE THAT, the PSC has provided internship opportunity to many youths in various Government departments and agencies for a period not exceeding one year pursuant to Guidelines on Management of the Public Service Internship Programme of October, 2019; APPRECIATING THAT, since its inception, the internship programme in Kenya has been instrumental in providing practical experience to graduates, enhanced employability, offered networking opportunities and has on a number of occasions led to full-time jobs to graduates; CONCERNED THAT, internship opportunities are limited in number, skewed in distribution across ... view

• 28 May 2025 in Senate: insufficient with an average stipend ranging from Kshs15,000 to Kshs30,000 per month which is not sustainable, especially to interns living in major cities like Nairobi where the cost of living is too high. NOW THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Human Capital Development in consultation with the Public Service Commission (PSC), review the guidelines for the Public Service Internship Programme of October 2019, with a view to: (1) increase the stipend offer to interns to cushion them against the high cost of living; and, (2) put in place mechanisms to promote and reward innovation ... view
• 28 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know why Sen. Sifuna is uncomfortable about nurses, yet he was proud of them the other day. I rise to support the Motion regarding alleged medical negligence and staff incompetence, which led to the death of Ms. Annita Jepkorir at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). I pass my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Annita Jepkorir, whose unfortunate death in 2021 resulted from medical negligence at the hospital. I remember this young girl, only six years old, full of life, but due to medical negligence, we lost ... view

• 28 May 2025 in Senate: were the ones who rose to fight the crisis while guns, bullets and heavy artillery remained in the barracks. It was the UHC staff who stood at the forefront. I am pleased that, today, I have seen comments by the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Alego Usonga. He said that they will budget for absorption of the UHC staff on permanent and pensionable terms or pay them gratuity and ensure proper transfer to the county governments across the nation. That is the issue I was talking about yesterday. ... view
• 28 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I once visited Malava Sub-County Hospital. They do not have Protective Industrial Products (PIPs). I visited one of the rooms where they perform caesarean section. It is sad that they do not have even gloves. They do not have protective gear for performing surgical procedures to our mothers across Malava. The same case applies to Nandi Hills County Hospital and Kapsabet County Referral Hospital. You will find the same situation in Mosoriot Sub-County Hospital. When I went to the kitchen of Mosoriot Sub-County Hospital, it was embarrassing because it was very dirty. You could see cockroaches ... view
• 28 May 2025 in Senate: I now want to talk about the issue of negligence that happened to Annita Jepkorir at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). We have to appreciate that apart from the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), there are other two referral hospitals outside Nairobi. It is sad when you listen to the story. The management of MTRH and the people who did the operation, led by Dr. Ondigo, did not even have empathy to the parents of Annita Jepkorir. In as much as some deaths are not preventable, that case was preventable. I am happy that Members of the Committee on Health, ... view

• 28 May 2025 in Senate: When you read the report, Dr. Ondigo and company--- After the young girl was released, no one referred to the team that did surgery. They did not even do a Computerized Tomography (CT) scan after the surgery, yet a foreign substance was still inside her body that later caused pneumonia, which killed the young girl who was only six years old. As we empathise and sympathise with the family, it should not happen in the modern-day Kenya. Today, we had the National Prayer Breakfast. We can only do some things after praying. This report by the Committee on Health should ... view
