• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, another one is 1(b) which states that the national Government shall be liable as a contributor to the Fund on behalf of the orphans and vulnerable. It is important because now the Government will be able to take care even through the programme of Inua Jamii, orphans and all the vulnerable in the society. Therefore, if this can be achieved, it will be very important and will assist most of our people. The unfortunate thing is that sometimes you go to the hospital, you lose somebody, people do an harambee to defray medical expenses and then you ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I said, Article 43 of the Constitution talks about the right to health. Therefore, any law that is anchored today to ensure that we access medical care is very important. Kenyans have lost land, savings and other properties because they have to pay expensive medical expenses. If you go to every village and even where you come from in Bungoma County, each and every family is holding a harambee. With those many remarks that I have put on record, I thank you. We will support the Bill at the voting stage. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. The relationship between a County Assembly and the County Executive must be always complimenting each other. The design of the Constitution and the devolution architecture was to ensure that County Assemblies and Executives work together in harmony. They do not need to be antagonistic. What we are witnessing in Nyandarua County is not the intention of the devolution for both County Assemblies and Executives operations. Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope the relevant Committee will look into this matter. It is the Committee of Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, so that we really understand ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Nyandarua from functioning, then there is a problem. It could be the Governor is uncomfortable and thinks that it is a threat if the County Assembly functions. We really need to know why even the property that is supposed to be used exclusively by the County Assembly Speaker is being directed otherwise. This Petition is important and we need recommendation at the end. The County Assemblies should be given full autonomy. The danger to the county assembly that we have today is the county executive. This is because they lack the financial autonomy. This has continued to be a threat ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate my immediate former Committee of Labor and Social Welfare led by our all-time favorite Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja Johnson Arthur CBS, MP and the Senator of the great County and the future Governor of Nairobi City County. Madam Temporary Speaker, this issue of Inua Jamii is critical. Wherever any Member of this House goes anywhere and meets wazee who are over 70 years, they always complain that either they have never been registered or they have never received their cash disbursement. I agree with the recommendation that within 90 days there should be a special audit ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: ring you the ID card and tell you that they have registered, but have not received cash disbursement. I congratulate the petitioner for bringing this live matter to the House. According to population census of 2019, more than 250,000 Kenyans are Beyond 70 years. The only have one problem with this initiative, the Inua Jamii is that the there is no proper sensitization of registration. Most of these people are above 70 years and all of us are potential old men and women in future. I have never heard the national Government officers administration, the administration of cells doing a ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill is coming before the House. These are 250,000 people. You have heard Sen. Sakaja say that these are few people. They can know each other. I saw him say in JKL and I have seen him saying this today here--- I watched because you were there. These are few, 250,000 out of 47,500,000 Kenyans according to the 2019 census. What is hard for the Government to provide them with NHIF cards? You know at that age there are many diseases that might just decide to come. I think we must put in place that we agree ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker is agreeing on how we use a more efficient method of payment, apart from M-Pesa. The M-Pesa that is provided by Safaricom must be audited. We know there are charges that M-Pesa charges before you transfer the money. Who bears this charge? Is it based on the Kshs2,000? Is it the M-Pesa or the Ministry that pays for these charges? So, we need to be told when you use an M-Pesa. There are areas in this country which do not have network. These areas include West Pokot, Tinderet in Nandi, Turkana and many others. Finally, on the ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, for this opportunity. I have two Statements and I hope you will allow me to read them concurrently, consequently or subsequently. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to request a statement from the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights regarding unqualified persons practicing as advocates in various private companies across the country.
