• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: I thought of Safaricom on network coverage. We must agree that we need network coverage in those regions, so that it becomes easy to track and eliminate these terrorists. I do not call them Ethiopians. I call them terrorists, because what they did is inhuman and an animalistic behaviour. The issue of border control is sad. As EAC, we are encouraging movement of goods and people, but it looks like our neighbours are abusing this privilege. We must intensify the border control, so that we eliminate people who are terrorists or people who want to bring disharmony. We are not ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Minister, through you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a premium platform. You should put what we are seeing in Social medial to rest because you have this forum. We are asking a simple question. Baby Arianna Wairimu has a bill of Kshs1,600,000. There is allegation that Kshs23,000 has been paid. You have officers around you. Why do you not consult so that we do not use social media hype to confirm that SHA is not working? Finally, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let Madam Minister be specific. Are these funds under Social Health Authority working? In your answer, you ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am following up on the question of medical interns that Sen. Hamida asked. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: In April 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 9,000 interns were engaged for a contract of three years to promote UHC. In April, 2023, the Summit sat in Naivasha and the contract for the 9,000 interns who assisted in the fight against COVID- 19 in 2020 was extended for another three years. Under Article 41 of the Constitution, the Labour Relations Act and other labour laws of this Republic, what is the fate of more than 9,000 interns who were hired under the Ministry and in partnership with county governments? I am aware that health is a devolved ... view
• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Maize farmers have been demonstrating for long. I thought that the wheat farmers are better off. It looks like The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: whenever maize farmers speak, you must support us because we are in the same boat. As cereal farmers, we must agree. We are suffering because we did not get the correct pricing in maize of Kshs4,000. The sad reality of maize is that we sell in 90 kilogrammes while wheat is being sold in 50 kilogrammes. I stand with the wheat farmers in Narok County. I know they caused a lot of traffic jam yesterday. I was worried for our colleague, Sen. Ledama. However, I am happy he managed to pull through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must stop this. The ... view
• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: Sen. Mungatana requested Sen. Faki and I to move and to subsequently second. I will be very brief. Our heartfelt condolences and messages of goodwill to the family and friends of the late prolific radio and media personality, Leonard Mambo Mbotela. We continue to commiserate with the family. Many of us grew up listening to radio. Radio, unlike TV and other modes of communication has the highest coverage anywhere in the world, particularly in Kenya. For us who studied Geography, History and Civics (GHC), we will tell you modes of communication, include radio and other forms such as horns. The ... view
• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: I hope the Nairobi City County has the foresight to even do that. However, I do not think they have foresight, if they can take dirt at the front of Electricity House. That is another story for another day. The second thing such heroes whom we have full recognition of, should be honoured through a state burial. This is somebody who said, “ Je, huu ni Ungwana ?” If Leonard Mambo Mbotela would have a chance again in life, he would ask “ Je, huu niUngwana?” for most things that are happening in this country, including corruption, lethargy, poor governance, ... view
• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: We must agree that in the spirit of protecting the independence of media, under Articles 34 and 35, they must also be responsible. That is why we are hesitant to regulate the media. We believe they should have self-regulation. I know of colleagues who have taken the media to court over misinformation and misrepresentation of facts. It is not hard. We respect and we celebrate the media. They are a medium of communication. They communicate to the people. As the proceedings continue in this House; it is media that we rely on to communicate through national televisions or local dialects. ... view
• 25 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I have read the committee report, but I found it was just a clean-up. I am a strong believer in institutions. This country is facing non-implementation of development of institutions. We do not have a shortage of laws that can fight corruption in this country. This report on the conflict of interest is and should be that the EACC cannot have capacity to fight white-collar crimes and even transnational crimes. If you can recall, in United Kingdom (UK), we had the famous case of Chicken gate. The UK could nail down the ... view
