• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to join you and my colleagues in welcoming the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) and staff from Trans Nzoia and Busia counties. The MCAs are very important to us, especially when it comes to oversight. I would like to encourage the MCAs in this country to take seriously oversight matters, so that they help us a lot. As Senators, we sometimes get very surprised when we attend functions only to find that the work of our MCAs is only to praise the governors on grounds that are not well founded. We would ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also like to support this particular Statement. For very many years, when we were young and in school, we used to hear of insecurity in Turkana. These people are insecure economically and this is a semi-arid region with a lot of challenges. They also lag behind when it comes to education, although their children are hardworking. There are some years that they used to lead in the country despite all the challenges. This insecurity has risen to a higher level; from cattle rustling to now interfering with their God-given oil in Turkana, which ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will take the least time. I am not in agreement with Sen. Omogeni on the reduction of the preventive measure for the worst illness through condoms. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: It is quite sad at this moment in time that people are still dying in this country because of Malaria, which can be prevented and cured. However because of human carelessness, people are still dying from this disease. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have noticed one thing in my county; that there is a great delay in the disbursement of drugs to counties even after payment of money to the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA)--- view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. You always give me the last opportunity, but today I am lucky. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill, which is very timely. Disasters in our country are, more often than not, caused by very simple and manageable incidents. There was a time I was involved in a task force that was going through schools, when there were several fire outbreaks. We realized that some of the causes were as simple as poor electrification, poor or irregular inspections, compromised standards and many such simple things. You ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these are not notes, as such, but guidelines that I am using to assist me to make broad opinions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is also my opinion that it will include an area that will recommend provisions of funding for the purposes of mitigation. This is because I have not seen clearly an area that will manage the provision of funding. This is, therefore, a very important Bill--- view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is exactly what I was doing. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I still believe that my guideline was not a speech. There is a great difference in reading a speech, which is what I used to teach in high school. These are just simple guidelines. As I have mentioned, according to the particulars of the report from the United Kingdom, this Bill is important because it assesses Kenya’s preparedness on disaster management. It is clear that we lack a legal framework. This is the foundation that will assist this country to get a legal framework that will guide all of us to manage finances for ... view
