• 20 Feb 2025 in Senate: Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reports we are getting is that most of our private hospitals are not accepting the SHA/ SHIF cards in many of our hospitals and we know it. I am speaking for the lowly of the lowly Kenyan, the person who paid Kshs300 to access a SHA card. If private hospitals cannot accept these poor Kenyans, where will they get treatment? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are from Meru, our cousins from the mountain. I am from Nyamira; I know the state of our public hospitals. If we restrict the SHA card to public hospitals, ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, everything that we say on this Floor goes on record. Sen. Cherarkey knows that under our Standing Orders, he should not make statements that are misleading. He has just stated on this Floor that to fly to West Africa, you first have to go to France then come back. Kenya Airways flies directly to several West African countries, including Nigeria, Cameroon and Bamako in Mali. Is he in order to make a misleading statement on the Floor that the skies in Africa have not been opened to our Kenya Airways? view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, what has happened this afternoon is very important. That is about how we will be conducting our business, especially those who are not analogue. We have the likes of Omtatah who have gone digital. We have Standing Order No.265 that is supposed to guide us. He raised an important issue saying that he does not want to litter the Floor with papers. Therefore--- view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: The point I want to make is this: It is incumbent upon the Chair to give a considered ruling. The other day I was on the Floor referring to a judgment and I was asked to table. What I did was to take my phone and share the document with Sen. Cherarkey. What should have happened was for Sen. Omtatah to be told to share the document using his email to the Clerk, then it is displayed. We are here as the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to assist this House in conducting business in a flawless manner. If you read ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to also make my contribution. I was so deeply disappointed that Kenya lost the quest to take the chairmanship of the AUC. We all know that Africa belongs to all six or so regions. As a person who has lived, gone to school and represents a county in East Africa, it could only have been fair that a candidate from East Africa takes over as the next Chairperson of the AUC. The AU belongs to all the 55 nations of Africa. Therefore, we want to feel a sense of belonging. ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: chairmanship. The salary that pays that chairperson is also my taxes. By being taxed and by my country making a contribution, then I also expect that one day, one time, I will proudly stand up and say a fellow countryman or woman is chairing the AUC. In terms of going forward, I hope when there is a summit of the AU, our president, President William Ruto, will put this issue on the table. We can have the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in West Africa chairing, next time, let it go to the South African Development Community (SADC) ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: LSK. We came up with a very good initiative to open the borders in East Africa, so that lawyers in Tanzania can come and practise in Kenya, and lawyers in Kenya can go and practise in Uganda, and vice versa. When we were making that declaration in Speke Munyonyo Hotel in Uganda, the contingent from Kenya was the largest in that meeting. They came there loaded; they had money. So, they painted Kampala. When the proposal was put on the table, the Ugandans were like, “if this is the way these guys are behaving, even before we open the borders, ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: This SHA thing is a problem. In some counties, like Nyamira, we are burying people on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We used to do burials only on Friday. We represent our people. We cannot sit here and shut our mouths from some of these issues. Finally, is the impact of Raila’s loss in our country. We should guard our mouths at times. I listened to my good friend, Sen. Cherarkey. It is unfortunate that he is not here. He was making statements saying that now that Raila Amolo Odinga has lost the AU chairmanship, we want to offer him ... view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, nilipokea kwa huzuni taarifa za kifo cha Mhe. Malulu Injendi aliyekuwa Mbunge wa Malava katika Kaunti ya Kakamega. Mwanzoni Mhe. Malulu alikuwa katika Hospitali ya Nairobi kisha baadaye akapelekwa katika Hospitali ya Aga Khan. Kwa kuwa alikuwa na afya nzuri, sikufikiri kwamba kifo chake kingetutembelea haraka jinsi ilivyofanyika. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: Kwa muda ambao nilimjua Mhe. Malulu Injendi, alikuwa mtu aliyependa kutumikia wakaazi wa eneo Bunge la Malava kwa dhati. Kwa hivyo, natuma pole zangu kwa familia yake, wakazi wa Malava, wale ambao alikuwa anashirikiana nao Bungeni, na taifa lote kwa jumla. Tunapopitia wakati huu wa majonzi, kile tunaweza kufanya ni kuomba na kuweka familia yake mikononi mwa Mwenyezi Mungu awafariji wakati huu mgumu wanaopitia. Tunawahakikishia kwamba sisi kama Bunge la Taifa, Seneti na Parliamentary ServiceCommission, tutashirikiana na familia kuhakikisha kwamba tunapunguza mzigo kwa familia. Tunatuma rambirambi zetu kwa watu wa Malava na Kaunti ya Kakamega. Tunawaombea Mwenyezi Mungu awe nao ... view
