Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. The good book says, “Knock and the doors shall be opened”. I have just knocked and you have opened the door. As I was saying, that way, this country will begin to get value from leadership. This business where the ‘lower’ House looks for excuses by calling Senators names whenever it has challenges in executing its mandate must come to an end. A time will come when we will need to look at the value for representation in this country beginning with the number of constituencies that we have and what ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also stand in support of the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo on the registration of schools in Bomet County. This issue is not unique to Bomet County.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just to clarify a matter that Sen. Pareno has mentioned on the amalgamation of all the boards, for your information, the Bill does not seek to collapse the boards. The Roads Bill creates a standards board for the roads but it leaves the other authorities intact.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I join you and my colleagues in welcoming the students who have paid us a visit today. I would like to reiterate what Sen. Olekina has said, that as we experience the wave of crime in schools, I encourage the girls who are visiting us today that no matter the situation they face in school or at home, tomorrow is always a better day. They need to persevere and confront the issues that they face. The Cabinet Secretary in charge of Education has pronounced herself on this matter. She said that ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir I will be guided by your directive on Standing Order No. 84. I want to congratulate Sen. Chebeni for bringing up this Statement. The state of healthcare in this country has reached crisis levels. The situation is so bad in some counties that hospitals have become death traps for patients. Sometimes patients have to bribe their way to be attended to in public hospitals. If they do not give bribes, they get tired waiting on the benches and leave to seek medical care in private facilities, which are owned by the same doctors who frustrate them ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate my colleague, the Senator for Vihiga County, for bringing this Statement on the state of the Chavakali-Kapsabet Road. The state of that road speaks volumes about the state of many other roads in this country. One of the things that this House may want to deal with is the cost of doing the roads in this country, which has been deliberately exaggerated. One kilometre of a standard road would cost more than Kshs80 million. Therefore, if we are supposed to do 10,000 kilometres of roads across ...
