• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: We have three distinguished Senators being Sen. Orengo, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and myself appearing for the Senate pro bono in the Court of Appeal. As an update, I wish to inform the House that this matter is scheduled for hearing before the Court of Appeal on the 21st July 2021. The said Senators will continue to robustly fight to protect and safeguard the mandate of this House. The Committee immensely thanks Sen. Orengo and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. who have continued to provide pro bono legal services to this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, the Committee has undertaken ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill before the House. I want to confirm that when this Bill was read in this House, before we moved to the High Court to nullify Bills that did not have concurrence of the two Speakers, I made substantive contributions to the Bill. I am happy to note that the Bill that we now have, the one dated 4th December, 2020, has incorporated a number of concerns that we raised as Senators before the Floor of the House. I must congratulate the Sponsor of ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is also good because there is a debate going on out there as to whether there is any importance for elected leaders to go to school properly. Looking at the quality of Bills and the interest that Sen. (Dr.) Zani has had in sponsoring Bills before this House, then there is enough evidence to demonstrate that there is value in having people who have gone to school occupying some of these positions. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: I must say that Sen. (Dr.) Zani has set the pace for many of us. MCAs should follow this debate closely. When people say that we also need people who are able to demonstrate that they have gone to school properly, it is useful because this Bill that has been sponsored by Sen. (Dr.) Zani will not just benefit the people of Kilifi but also people from all counties in Kenya, including people from my own County of Nyamira. view
• 6 Jul 2021 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
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thirdly, I am happy that this Bill is coming here as a consequence of the suit that was filed by this House challenging the unilateral actions that are normally taken by Members of the National Assembly, where they think that the Senate has got no role in the legislative agenda of this country. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: My Committee was informed this morning that the two Speakers have so far concurred on over 30 Bills. That means that this House is now getting its rightful place in the legislative role of Parliament, which incorporates the National Assembly and the Senate. I do not think there is any MP – most of them are our friends – who can take issue with some of the progressive work that is being done by Senators and more so the health services that will impact in a positive way on many of the people that we represent. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: I just want to state to the House that the battle is not yet over. As you know, hon. Senators, Members of the National Assembly challenged the decision of the High Court in the Court of Appeal. I, together with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. James Orengo and Sen. Faki of Mombasa, are preparing to appear for the Senate in the Court of Appeal on 21st of this month. We will continue to defend the role played by this House in terms of passing legislations. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Going back to the merits, I said last time that I fully and passionately support this Bill that seeks to integrate issues of community health volunteers in provision of quality health services. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: People who serve in Level 1 and 2 hospitals, as Sen. (Dr.) Zani will confirm, are the first line of defence in provision of health services before lab technicians, qualified nurses and doctors come in. They are the people on the first line of defence who provide the quickest response to our people on the ground. Most of the people who brought us to this House reside in the countryside. The fact that we will recognise this calibre of people who do work for free is commendable. If you go to most of the counties, community health volunteers work for ... view
