Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I support Sen. Mohamed Faki, Senator 001 from Mombasa, for this wonderful Statement. I agree. I thought Mombasa was better. In terms of poor service delivery of health services, Nandi should be number one. On 1st December 2024, I visited Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, which should be our referral facility. I remember you calling me. You saw the pictures of the pathetic and dilapidated situation at Kapsabet County Referral Hospital. Some of us who have walked this journey of devolution, have always thought that we form a National Health Commission. The ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, those are grim statistics. The right to health should be a basic right for every Kenyan. Some of us do not want to encourage the clawback of county functions to the national Government. When we see statistics such as the poor health facilities and provision of poor health services in Mombasa County. We always feel sad and imagine that we can claw

back the health function of the national Government. Will it be better? Many Kenyans ask. Out of the 196 facilities that I have in Nandi, including the Kapsabet County Referral Hospital and level four hospitals, there is nothing to write home about. We must ask ourselves the hard question: Why do Kenyans go to health facilities and not get drugs? Why do Kenyans walk into some hospitals and the watchmen give them drugs? In Turkana County, a Form Four dropout was dispensing drugs. We need to be serious because this is unfortunate. I want to ask Sen. Faki, through the ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a member, but Sen. Sifuna should pick a side. When it is convenient, he says ODM is doing well. However, when ODM performs poorly, he wants to disassociate from the ODM's deputy party leader. I agree that we have an oversight role. Still, I challenged him as the Secretary- General to assist the Governor of Mombasa, to run the governor, and to run the county of Mombasa because Mombasa County elected an ODM governor.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can see Sen. Sifuna is taking notes. Sen. Osotsi should follow up. Finally, this is on the statement by Sen. Munyi Mundigi on the poor state of Muthataari-Siakago Road. I thank Sen. Munyi Mundigi because I have never seen him bring any other statement about any other place except Embu County. It shows that Sen. Munyi Mundigi loves the people of Embu with all his heart. We were there with him sometimes back, and this road must be fixed. I am told we have a pending bill for roads close to Kshs1 trillion. There is ...

participate in public participation in road tolling, so that when we pass something, we do not come to complain. Mr. Temporary Speaker, do you remember my issue in Nandi County? The Nandi-Himaki road has not been fixed, nor has the one from Chemuswa-Danger. The road at Kurgung, all the way to Chepterwai, to Chepsaita - you know Chepsaita very well; your friend comes from there—to all the way to Mudete has not been fixed. The one from Meteitei, all the way to Uasin Gishu, where Sen. Mandago comes from, has not been fixed. The road from Chepteret all the way ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, sir. From the onset, I want to congratulate Sen. Esther Okenyuri. In our now formative and at the beginning of this leadership role and legislative agenda, Sen. Esther Okenyuri continues to distinguish herself as one of the youngest, brilliant Senators of our generation, which I am proud to strongly associate with. I am happy that since she joined the Senate, and coincidentally, the God of Sen. Esther Okenyuri must be very near where she comes from. Initially, it was Sen. Soipan Tuya, who is now the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Defense. She joined us ...
