• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion on Recognizing and Appreciating the Elderly by County Governments. As the House that protects devolution, we need to protect our elderly. Any society that does not appreciate the elderly is a society that is doomed for failure. Most of this elderly people gave their youthful years building, sacrificing and working for this nation. They have laid the foundation. It is a high time we must appreciate them as a nation. Whenever I am in Nandi, I meet retired civil servants be it teachers or farmers. Life has given them a ... view
• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: the question that they will ask is about the funds for the elderly. They say, ‘We hear that there is money for wazee? Where is it? How do we register? How do we view

• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: process?” The elderly who receive pension are not part of those that have been captured in this Motion. In the wisdom of the sponsor of the Motion, it is upon us to support and ask the county assemblies to tailor make their own legislations and policies when they are doing budgetary allocations. We have witnessed situations where governors spend extravagantly to buy fuel, newspapers, flowers, mandazi and chai in their offices. If we can cut on those expenses, we can support our elderly. You get a governor having a fleet of vehicles that consume a lot of fuel. What is ... view
• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: The third point is on how to create homecare services, especially in health. Some of these old people cannot use motorbikes. You will find an old person travelling all the way from Kilibwoni and wants to travel to Kapsabet to access medical care which is kilometers away yet they are old, tired and sick. The county governments should enhance a vibrant homecare services. I do not think it is expensive. For example, we have 30 Wards in Nandi County. It will be very cheap if we recruit at least two nurses to do homecare and palliative care to the terminally ... view

• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: ward. Even if it is in my brother’s, Sen. Wario’s Tana River County, they can easily tell. Why would you subject the old people through such processes? These are old people. They do not have phones. What shocks me my and neighbor, Sen. Shiyonga, is why old people would be told something like, “ tumewekakwa Whatsapp?” or that they have put the calls for registration online. What do you mean? It is shocking. How will somebody from Mosoriot, Ndalat, Kabiyet, Tinderet or Kamungei near Western, where she went with my team know about this? I met some Deputy County Commissioner ... view
• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: There is money. We see unnecessary privileges and wastage of resources in the county governments. For example, in Nandi County there was a case where we lost cement, nails, tyres and close to Kshs200 million and some of the county staff were allegedly involved, but the governor found it okay. We must be honest and speak the truth to power. That is what we can do as the defenders and protectors of devolution. We fought here. You and I were in the same team saying one man, one vote, one shilling. Money was increased to Laikipia County and to Nandi ... view
