• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: shelf life. When you go to Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, Mosoriot Sub-County, Kaptumo Sub-County Hospital and Malava Sub-County Hospital, there are no drugs. All these facilities, including dispensaries, do not have regular and steady supply of drugs and the county governments have been laying blame on a section of the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) Act. Therefore, by deleting this, we are giving opportunities to counties to procure drugs at their convenience. I know the wisdom then was trying to ensure that we close any loopholes to have accountability. However, they forgot that the health function has been devolved and ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: There are no drugs, you cannot be given services. We really have to ensure that there are drugs in our medical facilities. I hope that if these amendments go through, and if the National Assembly agrees with us, counties will not be complaining by saying that Parliament passed a law that restricts them. You hear every governor saying that their hands are tied, they must wait for KEMSA. To some extent, they are right because if KEMSA does not have those drugs or those pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceuticals, it means that they you have to wait. However, now we have opened ... view
• 22 Dec 2021 in Senate: Bi. Naibu Spika, ningependa kuchukua fursa hii, kwa niaba yangu na wakaazi wa Kaunti ya Nandi kuwatakia Wakenya wote sherehe za kufana wakati huu tunapomaliza mwaka. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in Senate: Nina mambo mawili. Kwanza, ni kuwauliza Wakenya wachukue tahadhari haswa wakati huu wa sikukuu. Waendeshaji magari wasafirishe Wakenya kwa njia ya utaratibu ndio tusikuwe na ajali za barabarani wakati huu wa msimu wa Krismasi. Wale wanaotoka sehemu za Magharibi mwa Kenya wamepata gari la moshi jipya ambalo linaelekea sehemu hio. Tunatarajia ya kwamba itarahisisha kusafarisha wakaazi ambao wengi wao wanatoka Magharibi mwa Kenya, ingawa gari la moshi hilo linaenda kwa mwendo wa mzee kobe. Tunatarajia Shirika husika la Reli nchini litaangalia mahali ambapo gari la moshi linapita. Jana tuliona kulikuwa na mshike mshike kidogo, lakini tunatarajia Shirika la Reli nchini ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: We cannot queue; I do not know what is happening, kindly? view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to make a few remarks on the Committee Report especially on this important constitutional duty that the Committee on Finance and Budget did. I agree with them that it is important that even as we struggle with the latest audited accounts, we must ensure that we consistently increase allocation of funds to county governments. The proposal to have county equitable shareable revenue at Kshs495 billion is very important. With Kshs495 billion, we are looking at a situation where we need to factor more of the resources to go to counties and ensure ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Another issue is that, the additional funds to counties will be very critical. They include bursaries, feeder roads, water and ensuring that Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers and infrastructure are developed within our counties. My other point is on the agricultural sector. Where we come from, predominantly the North Rift and specifically Nandi County, over 90 percent of the great people of Nandi and mostly the North rift area including your region, rely heavily on agriculture. Therefore, you are aware at the moment, Mr. Speaker Sir, because you also plant maize in your county, that sadly the fertilizer prices ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: will find it hard to even provide food. When the prices of food go up, the inflation automatically will go up. To manage the pricing, we should minimize the inputs especially in the food production and maximize the output. We then can manage the inflation rate and therefor the cost of living will automatically come down. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to note the issue of the health sector. With this Covid-19 pandemic season, we still have a challenge with issues of vaccine. There is an over- reliance on the issue of donors. Somebody has questioned the shelf life of ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fourth point is on the issue of the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). I know there is still a big challenge but the junior secondary schools need support. We saw the national Government trying to allocate more. It goes also in line with the school feeding programme. We are being told that in this country over 2.5 million Kenyans are facing starvation. I know there are rains, but the point that we need to drive home is that we need to ensure that children are kept in school, especially in the regions that are facing challenges. As ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I note the change in the Chair. On the issue of UHC, in Nandi County as we speak, the staff that were hired under UHC are yet to be paid up to today. There is a big challenge that we need to look at. I thank Sen. Kibiru’s Committee for noting this. This is because there are many young people that are working under UHC that are yet to be paid. The UHC should be more like the National Health Services (NHS) of Britain and the United States of America (USA). Sen. Olekina can be in a ... view
