• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am not presenting a new Bill. I urge my good friend, the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget to read this Bill carefully, interpret it and cost it. For example, in Clause 6 there is a provision that public participation must be undertaken in each ward. That is a cost. It also says that the county executive will ensure that members of staff who serve in the county governments will be the ones to lead that process. This must be budgeted for because it is an added cost. I remind my good friend ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: “Not less than fifteen percent of county government’s allocation for development expenditure as provided under section 107 (2) (b) of the public Finance Management Act” Madam Temporary Speaker, this simply means that any development allocation for any county, for example, in a county like Nyamira, if it is Kshs1 billion, we must remove 15 per cent of that allocation and spread to 20 wards. Of course, that is spreading ourselves too thin. It means that we will give about Kshs20 million to undertake development projects in each of the 20 wards in Nyamira County. The question we should ask is ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: We have been talking about giving a role to Senators in oversighting county governments. That is is the debate we have been having in the Senate. I have read through this Bill, there is nowhere this is mentioned, and this would have been a window of opportunity for the Senate, to give a role to Senators to oversight the way this fund will be implemented among our wards. However, that opportunity has been lost. There is something that I keep on wondering about. That we keep on passing legislations but where we get a window of opportunity to re-assert our ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Langat for bringing this matter to the attention of this House. I also pass my condolences to the family of Dr. Ali Juma Hamisi. We pray that God Almighty will strengthen the family during this very difficult time. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your protection. There is very loud consultation to my right. I am apprehensive that somebody may box a Senator next to me, on my right. It is not easy to train a doctor. Therefore, it is painful for us, as a country, to train doctors, send them abroad to enhance their skills in medicine only for them to die. This is a sad thing to happen to us. It is a matter that should concern all of us. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is painful to train doctors in foreign countries only for them to lose their lives. As leaders, this is a matter that we should not take lightly. We also received doctors from Cuba. I was privileged to be in the team of Senators that travelled to Cuba to discuss and negotiate on those doctors who came to provide services in this country. I have not heard of a single case of any doctor from Cuba who has been subjected to any form of treatment that can cause him or her depression or any form ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not travel to Cuba to arrange for the death of the Kenyan doctor who has just died. We travelled to Cuba to negotiate for Cuban doctors to come and offer services in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is before the House is a sad situation where we have lost one of our doctors who was sent to the--- view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The point I am making is that this is a matter that should be taken seriously by this House. Already, what should worry us is that out of the 50 doctors that were sent, we have just lost one life but we have 49. We need to know--- view
