Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had lined up to contribute on a sensitive matter about the Pumwani saga. However, you did not give proper directions after the Division yet we wanted to share our thoughts on the way forward on the issue. With your indulgence, could you give us proper guidance because we cannot just overlook a serious and sensitive matter of that nature? Our counties cannot just be wished away. The Committee on Health, led by the Vice Chair, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, was supposed to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ...

which is the “turbo charger”. He has so many accolades in the athletics world. We celebrate him. I saw Sen. Wetangula’s tweet that was trending the other day. I do not want to mention the reply but it was a source of pride for this country. I equally want to congratulate Amos Kipruto, Wilson Kipsang and our very own Gladys Cherono. We are proud of them and as a country, they are providing the country-- -. I know many people are having the wrong perception that Kenya will be auctioned soon. However, it is good that we have trailblazers in ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. On behalf of Nandi County and many Kenyans of goodwill, I take this opportunity to pass our condolences to the family of the late Sharon Otieno and many people who have been brutally murdered. Finally, the Bible says in the book of John 10:10 that the devil came to steal, destroy and kill. It is unfortunate that our counties have now become rogue. I hope that our counties will not turn into dens of criminals and murderers. Therefore, I hope that necessary agencies will move with speed and ensure that the real perpetrators are arrested.

I support the Senate Majority Leader on the appointment of Sen. Outa as a Member of the Committee on Health. As Senators, we have had an interest of discussing issues of health, which is very emotive across our counties. I know Sen. Outa as a very hardworking Senator and a rabble-rouser most of the time. I hope that he will translate the energy and passion that he normally has to ensure that the Committee on Health works to its best ability. Madam Temporary Speaker, secondly, I urge the Senate Majority Leader, the House leadership and the Senate Minority Leader, who ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the HANSARD will bear me out because I had indicated that at the start of my submissions. I have also said that he is my neighbour and he is a rabble-rouser down there. Finally, I want to agree with my fellow Senators. Why is it so hard for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to partner with counties? This thing of centralising things is so archaic. We want to tell the Ministry of Health and the other county executives in charge of health that we want to see improvement of health in our counties. There are also ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support my Chairman, Sen. Sakaja, and the Motion on the approval of hon. Samuel Kiprono Chepkong’a as a commissioner. I have known hon. Chepkong’a as a neighbour and a Member of Parliament for Ainabkoi Constituency. He also sat in the same sit that I am sitting on as the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights in the National Assembly. I hope that Sen.

Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for that indulgence. During the first generation of the realization of devolution, one of the key people who came out strongly to ensure devolution works and full implementation of Constitution, 2010, was the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs of the National Assembly, and that is, hon. Samuel Kiprono Chepkong’a. We believe in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
