• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In conclusion, I hope that the money meant to improve health, so that we increase the number of children who are fully immunized, will be utilised well by the counties. I also hope it will decrease mortality rates in our counties and increase the number of women between 18 and 49 years who use modern family planning methods. Unless counties use the money for intended purposes, all these good projections and intentions will never be achieved. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I support, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this important Motion by our good friend, Sen. Khaniri. Let me first make an observation, that this is action that is long overdue from our Government. I was once privileged to visit a hospital in Texas, the United States of America (USA), where my sister works. The hospital is dedicated to serving members who have retired from the military in USA. The world over, it is known that it is not easy to serve in the disciplined forces. Often times due to human error, you can cause deaths of so ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when you retreat to your family in this era, where we have cross-cultural marriages, your spouse may end up putting you to task by asking why you did that. These are situations that require us, as a country, to put in place measures that ensure that we have enough counselling services for our people serving in the armed forces. Madam Temporary Speaker, President Moi was a very wise President, despite some of the negative things he did in this country. He came up with schools that were dedicated to people serving in the armed forces. Why did ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: In this era of terrorism, they are exposed to so many risky situations every day. Most spouses of the military officers keep bidding good bye to their husbands or wives because when they leave in the morning – of course, even all of us – nobody is sure you will go back home. However for them, it is a situation where there is anxiety and worry for their spouses, day in, day out. Madam Temporary Speaker, extending counselling services to family members of people who served in the armed forces will serve a very useful purpose. I propose that this ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, suicide is preventable, but if not handled well, it can cause death within a minute. It does not have any medicine or painkiller; it just needs professional counselors to continuously engage people who are exposed to some work that can expose them to some stress, trauma, depression, or form of nightmare. As a country, we need to take special care of the military officers and have counselling and support centres in areas that house them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether it is true, but I am told that if you are sent to areas ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Bw. Spika, nimeskia Seneta mwenzangu kutoka Kaunti ya Narok akisema kwamba yeye anachangia Mswada. Hakuna Mswada, ila tunachangia Taarifa ambayo imeombwa na Sen. Khaniri wa Kaunti ya Vihiga. Kwa hivyo, nataka kumweleza kuwa tunajadili taarifa sio Mswada. view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to be on record in supporting the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. I served in the Ad Hoc Committee that looked into the issues of maize. It is hard that we are addressing this issue this afternoon even before we take stock of whether the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Agriculture and Irrigation, Hon. Kiunjuri, has done any implementation on the recommendations that were made by the Committee that looked into the issues around maize. In this time and era, it is sad that year in, year out, the only solution the CS can ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: be proactive. It is high time we made an appeal to the President. If it is not working, then he should fix it. If Hon. Kiunjuri is unable to manage the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, let him ship out. That is a very important docket because we are talking about food security in this country. We even gave a proposal to the CS that he needed to come up with incentives to encourage more farmers to engage in farming and ensure seedlings of good quality are provided to the farmers. When we visited Nyamira County, we found seedlings that ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: maize production in this country. I do not think that will be in the best interest of this country. A time has come when we need to have a serious censure Motion against the CS for Agriculture and Irrigation. However, I commend Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for bringing this Statement. If the CS for Agriculture and Irrigation is listening or watching this debate, this should be a wake-up call to him. What is being put across is that there is inefficiency in the Ministry, and he is not fit for that job. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
