• 25 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, the issues raised are important. Secondly, what we are being told here is just hearsay. Therefore, it is important that the evidence is brought before this House to enable you to investigate the matter. Finally, there is no problem for any political party to stop their Members from travelling if they have an interest in the matter on the Floor of the House. So, whoever wants to go, can go and whoever does not want to go can stay. The Executive does not obstruct any Member from traveling anywhere. Let the Members who are claiming that the ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to reply and I do not wish to take a lot of time. First, let me congratulate the President on his Speech, which was very informative. Clearly, he has outlined his journey from when he started politics up to the current situation, which was very important and I want to thank him for that. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Having said that and looking at the Speech of the President, especially with the Covid-19 situation in this country, our health facilities have been put to the test. Most of our health facilities were unable to cope with Covid-19 especially in the counties. Fortunately, there was a lot of money that was pumped into the counties by the Government to make sure that those facilities are up to standard. I wish the counties and the relevant institutions utilized that fund properly. We would have had better facilities in our counties and the country as we speak today. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say that, of course, in the county referral hospitals, a lot has been done but unfortunately, if you go to the rural areas especially in the health centres, the situation is still very bad. People are dying day in, day out as a result of Covid-19 because of lack of proper attention and yet this is the 21st century. Something needs to be done. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: The issue of stimulus package during the time of Covid-19 that was mentioned by the President has helped a bit. Unfortunately, the situation is still very bad because there as so many people who have lost their jobs as a result of Covid-19 because businesses have gone down. I think as a country, we need to prepare ourselves for emergencies because as a country, every time we cannot declare emergency disasters when we get problems. Something needs to be done. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Universal Health Services (UHS) was something that was very important that happened to this country, to help members of the public access health facilities and treatment in most of our hospitals. There were pilot projects for certain counties that took place which were eventually supposed to be rolled out to other counties, but unfortunately, if you look at the analysis or the evaluation that has been done, the impact of UHS has not been felt well in our counties. This is simply because we are not taking health care very seriously in this country because for the ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: I hope with the passing of National Hospital Insurance Fund Bill (NHIF) we will be able to take care of our patients or rather, our citizens and I wish to thank the initiators for actually coming up with that particular Bill. A lot has been done in the area of taxation, which has helped citizens to reduce the harshness of Covid-19 in this country. For those who are getting loans in this country that has actually helped a lot. However, I believe a lot needs to be done especially for those who have taken loans and yet they have no ... view

The situation in our counties is dire because animals are dying and people are actually living without water. People are dying from Covid-19 and lack of food. I do not know when as a country, we will be able to deal with the drought situation in this country. Year in, year out, we are singing about the drought situation in this country but unfortunately, we do not get it right. Something needs to be done. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: If you go to some areas of northern Kenya today, you will find carcasses all over. People do not even have water, and you can imagine the rivers are flowing right now from Mt. Kenya all the way to northern part of Kenya and yet we cannot harvest that water as a country. If we are serious we should harvest that water. It should have helped during drought but unfortunately, we lack strategies to ensure that we harvest water when it rains. view
