• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first I want to thank Sen. Khaniri and Vihiga County Assembly for raising this very important petition. There is a very serious problem with the registration of persons. The petition by Vihiga County Assembly is a reflection of the level of dissatisfaction by the citizens in a number of counties especially those neighbouring Vihiga County. The effects of the failure to issue identity cards to citizens denies them their rights as clearly stated in the petition; the right to own property, seek employment, vote and so on and so forth. The electronic version of the Senate ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there were two parts to this question. One was raised by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in respect to Kakamega-Kaburengu-Webuye Road and supplementary questions requested by Sen. Wetangula. I have a letter from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure requesting that they be given more time to submit answers in respect to the question by Sen. Wetangula. I have also received a request from the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, suggesting that it would be better if the two were answered at the same time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. view

• 15 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was interrupted last evening at the close of business when I was in the process of appreciating the work of the Select Committee for a job well done. By looking at the report, I notice that the Committee held many meetings and workshops before producing this report. I also noticed that this report goes to considerable length in analyzing the key issues and they have gone further to give comparison of the situation in similar jurisdictions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that this was a complex assignment, but the quality of the members in the ... view

Yesterday, the Chairman of the Health Committee, Dr. Kuti, gave notice of a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Health this morning. That was a very important meeting because Members of this House have expressed concerns about the management of the health sector. This was a tremendous opportunity for them to interrogate the CS. I attended that meeting and it was very disappointing that even Members of the Committee on Health did not attend the meeting. ... view
