• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Halake for bringing this very noble Statement. The issue of punishing people who have already served a prison term is something we need to look into. This is what our legal friends call double jeopardy. It is unfair for somebody who has already served in prison and is coming out not to access services from the Government or employment opportunities just because he or she has been denied a certificate of good conduct. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is one of the issues that has contributed to insecurity and high crime rates in our country. The same people who come out of prison, once they are denied that opportunity to interact with the society and to have equal opportunity like any other Kenyan, they delve into criminal activities. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: It is, therefore, important that this leadership ensures that we cushion such people and ensure they access Government services without discrimination. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we were sworn in, we were inducted on the roles that we are supposed to play in this House. I want to remind Sen. Shiyonga that she belongs to a delegation called Kakamega and the leader of that delegation is none other than the elected leader of Kakamega, Hon. Sen. Cleophas Wakhungu Malalah. If she wants to know anything, she has to consult me instead of standing here and purporting to want direct information. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: 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
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to issue a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1). I rise to make a Statement concerning the state of affairs of public hospitals in Kakamega County. I wish to share with you and this House that I have been doing a factfinding circuit of all public health facilities within Kakamega County. Yesterday, 8th July, 2019, I concluded the foresaid random visits at Malava Sub-County Hospital. I wish to register that the general situation of the hospitals is deplorable, despicable and agonising to speak of the least. The pain witnessed by citizens seeking ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: the same pain. If that is happening with such two women on one bed, the result can only be catastrophic. In Malava Level 4 Hospital, mothers coming straight from the delivery rooms are ushered into a packed wing and they have to sleep on the floor with their new born babies. Some of those floors are unwashed and unsterilized, posing a direct health hazard to the mothers and new born babies. It is saddening that this is how we are admitting the next generation into our country. Makunga Rural Health Demonstration Centre, which is on the border of Mumias East ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: the people of Kakamega County and recommend some policy options on issues affecting the health sector in Kenya. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform Sen. Omanga and the entire Senate that we cannot shield ourselves behind the narrative of county governments being underfunded. I have stated in the Statement very clearly that Kakamega County was given a conditional grant of Kshs427 million. However, they only spent Kshs67 million on Kakamega County General Hospital. The rest was diverted to other county activities. Counties cannot lament that they are being underfunded when they did not utilise appropriately the money they received from the national Government. view
