• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, growing up, I remember that cases of snake bites were treated locally by making a cut on the affected area, sucking out the blood and giving some medication. Nowadays, snake bites have to be treated by pharmaceutical medication which sometimes fails. I can see that there is a motion on the Free Administration of the Snake Bites Anti-Venom in Public Health Facilities in today’s Order Paper, but I think community health workers treated snake bites better. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: I beg to support this Motion on the Engagement of Community Health Workers by County Governments. I hope that the Chairperson of the CoG, Gov. Oparanya and his colleagues will be on the fore front to engage the health workers. The herbalists are critical people in the society. Some people suffering from terminal illnesses such as Cancer are being assisted by the community health workers. The community health workers may not have formal education, but they understand their work. I hope that once this Motion is passed, it will engage the Ministry of Health and the County Executive Committee (CEC) ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I conclude, I would like to urge the county governments not to confuse allocation of money to building infrastructure and training human resource. Most of the county governments have huge budgets, but when you look into them you will notice that they concentrate on infrastructure rather than capacity building or human resource. If we support community health workers, we will achieve the universal health care to all people. view

• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for this Statement. It has shocked not only Africa, but the world that xenophobic attacks continue to happen in South Africa unabated. It is very unfortunate that some of the people who have suffered in terms of loss of property and lives come from Kenya. We have been monitoring these events as the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. On behalf of the Committee, we commit that we will follow this matter to conclusion. It is so sad that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Statement that has been requested by Sen. Shiyonga. Article 54(1)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya on Persons with Disabilities states as follows: “A person with any disability is entitled, (c) to reasonable access to all places, public transport and information.” That statement means that the relevant agencies in the Government must ensure that PWDs can access transportation or any buildings. I agree that in as much as there is progressive implementation to this aspect in the Bill of Rights, we want to request the relevant agencies to facilitate PWDs because ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the creation of support services for members of the disciplined forces and their families. This Motion is timely because Kenya, under former President Kibaki, did go to Somalia through a programme called Africa Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to try and bring stability and ensure that Kenya and the horn of Africa is safe, secure and lives and property are being protected. I happen to have one of my brothers in the military service. Luckily, he has not met any casualties while in Somalia. However, there are many families ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, when some of these heroes come back home after serving in their mission, especially in AMISOM in Somalia, they should also be taken care of, so that it does not become a psychiatric problem in their lives. As we talk about counseling, I know that the Government offers support services of monitoring. However, part of the stress that Kenyans undergo is because of hard economic times. Therefore, as we counsel the soldiers and their families, the Government should also provide monetary support to them. We are happy that we now have an insurance cover for the police and other ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
