• 23 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have an issue of national importance. I rise under Standing Order No.1. I beg your indulgence on Article 41 on labour rights. Yesterday, out of your indulgence, I read a statement on Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) interns who are currently on industrial action, wanting to transit from internship to permanent and pensionable terms.

• 23 May 2024 in Senate: I beg your indulgence. I suspect - you can hear - that they have come to present their memorandum at the gate of the Senate.

Majority of harambees that we do across the country are for cancer cases. This disease continues to ravage and kill our people. The sad thing about cancer is that it does not only kill a person, it also impoverishes families. There are many families who lose their loved ones and resources because it is expensive to treat cancer. I know we have had a discussion on cancer treatment across the country. Cancer ... view

Telemedicine means the provision of health care services and sharing of medical ... view
