Mr. Speaker, Sir, the gist of my presentation was very clear, that the Senate cannot be micro-managed by certain citizens of this country. The Senate is independent. I still stick to that fact; that we are an independent House and we shall not be micro-managed by people seated in a certain corner thinking that the Senate can be manipulated. Lastly, I want to ask Hon. Members of this House to support the proposals made in this Motion. This is because if you look at the Membership of this Committee, I think we have hon. Members who are competent enough to ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was pensively listening as Sen. Were was reading this Statement, and my heart was soaked in a pool of sorrow. It is common knowledge that it is a prerequisite for all the doctors to take the Hippocratic Oath, whose principles are held sacred and not limited to treating the sick to the best of one’s ability, preserving the patient’s privacy, teaching the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on. Many of my colleagues have quoted Article 43(1) of the Constitution read together with Article 43(2), which elaborate the economic and social ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns raised by my big brother, Sen. Khaniri. A Committee is made up of Members. If the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are not there, the Members can still transact business. I think the matter is well placed and, therefore, we can continue.

Mr. Speaker Sir, this matter is now clear because the Senate Chief Whip has said categorically that there have been no changes in the Committee. We all know the procedure of changing membership of a Committee. We must have a resolution of the House. This House has not resolved to remove any Chairperson or Vice Chairperson. As it stands right now, the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights has a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson. The matter is well placed in that Committee. Let them transact because the rest are rumours outside there.

Asante Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kwanza ninampongeza ndugu yangu Sen. Loitiptip kwa kuleta Hoja hii. Mambo ya mafuriko katika nchi yetu ni shida ambayo imekuwa ikitokea kila uchao. Hii sio mara ya kwanza Kenya kuwa na mafuriko. Tangu niwe mtoto mdogo hadi sasa hivi, kila mwaka tunalia kwa sababu ya mafuriko ambayo yanaangamiza watu wetu. Ni lazima sisi viongozi tuwajibike na tuwe na mikakati ya kuhakikisha tumekomesha maswala haya ya mafuriko ambayo yanakuja kila mwaka. Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa mfano, eneo la Magharibi, hakuna bwawa hata moja katika Mto Nzoia, ilhali kila mwaka tunalia kwamba, Budalangi, Matungu, Mumias West ...

yamefanya vijana wetu kupoteza ajira na wamama kupoteza biashara zao. Kwa hivyo, ni jukumu letu kama viongozi wa Bunge la kitaifa na bunge za kaunti, kuhakikisha kwamba makisio ya bajeti 2020/2021 yameangazia mambo ya kuimarisha uchumi wa Kenya. Kwa mfano, makisio ya bajeti ya 2020/2021 katika Kaunti ya Kakamega hayajaangazia kikamilifu mapendekezo ya kusaidia watu ambao nyumba zao zimebomoka. Wametenga Kshs3 milioni kuangazia familia ambazo zilitoka katika boma zao. Ningependa bunge za kaunti ziweke pesa za kutosha ili wasaidie wananchi ambao wanahitaji pesa za kujenga. Shilingi milioni tatu hazitoshi. Ningependa waakilishi wa bunge za kaunti na wale wanaohitajika kuweka pesa ...

Shibale Primary School, Mumias, ndio wanafaa kuwa katika mstari wa mbele kupokea pesa kutoka kwa Serikali. Wale ambao wanaishi kwa nyumba zao wasipate pesa, ilhali wanaoishi kwa mashule na makanisa kwa sababu ya mafuriko wanakosa pesa. Ninaomba Serikali iangazie watu ambao wanaishi Likuyani Primary School ili wapate pesa kwanza ndio tuanze kugawia watu wengine ambao wanaishi katika nyumba zao. Ninapongeza ndugu yangu Seneta wa Kaunti ya Lamu. Watu wa Lamu wako na kiongozi ambaye anawasikia na kuwawakilisha. Ningependa aendelee kufanya kazi yake vyema na kuwakilisha watu wake ambao wameadhirika kwa sababu yewe alichaguliwa kufanya kazi hiyo. Ninampongeza pia Seneta wa ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleague and a Member of my delegation, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, on this issue of special needs education teachers who have been subjected to an illegal union. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in December 2019, the same teachers were deducted Kshs723. We have about 1,500 teachers across the country. They do not know where the deductions are being remitted to. It is sad that there is a person by the name Mr. James Torome who is the Secretary General of KUSNET. He has got no physical office in this country. That ...

As we speak right now, thousands of teachers in special needs education institutions are being deducted monies every month. The sad part about it is that, I made a search of the said Secretary-General and I realised that he is not a special needs education teacher. This is sad. You cannot purport to be advocating for doctors and you are not a doctor. You cannot purport to be advocating for veterinary doctors and you are not a veterinary doctor. It is essential that when such unions come up, we have a body to ascertain who mandated them to represent the ...
