• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to first declare that I am a Member of the Committee on Health and salute our good friend, Sen. Cherargei, for having brought this matter to the attention of the House. A healthy nation is a matter of national interest. This issue of KEMSA supplying medicine to all counties is a problem that we have all encountered in our counties. Last month, in my County of Nyamira, we had serious drug shortages in a number of hospitals. When we asked questions, the answer that we got was that KEMSA lacks the capacity to ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was privileged to serve as Member of this Committee. I am taken by surprise because we made these recommendations after serious deliberations. We did not just plug the name of the CS, the National Treasury and Planning from the air. It was after analyzing the evidence that was presented before the Committee. I have tremendous respect for Sen. (Prof.) Kamar who was our Chairperson. However, we, as a Committee, have not met to change the recommendations that we arrived at. I want to plead that we should be careful--- view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we should be careful to ensure that we leave the integrity of this House intact. The time that we, as a Committee, were given to arrive at the recommendations, lapsed long time ago. What would be the basis for us to change recommendations that the Committee had already made during the life of that Committee? view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to invite you to rule that my good friend, the distinguished Senator for Uasin Gishu is out of order and the Committee’s recommendations should remain as they are. If at all we need to add more meat to these recommendation, then it should be to add on top of the recommendations that touch on a particular CS. Not to delete, but to say in addition to the recommendation that touch on that CS, we can add. We do not have to delete any of the recommendations. view

• 14 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise in support of the Motion which is before the House on the membership of the Senate CPAIC. This Committee does a very important role in terms of oversighting the expenditure of the money that we send to our counties. view
• 14 Feb 2019 in Senate: I congratulate the leadership for having chosen to retain the Members who were serving in the Committee last Session at least for purposes of institutional memory and continuity. I challenge the Members who are serving in the Committee to be innovative and pragmatic. Corruption is a white collar crime. There will always be effort and attempts to ensure that people who steal and embezzle public money that is meant for development, that they hide their tracks. However, we must be innovative. I am not a Member of the CPAIC, but those who are privileged to serve in it must be ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in Senate: that come this new session that we will be able to physically visit Nyamira County and make an assessment on the projects where the Auditor-General has raised queries. These queries relate to the services of people from that particular county. If we just sit in Nairobi and file our reports, we will never have impact. I hope that the Members who are very able, who have been nominated and privileged to serve in this Committee will put our governors and the people who serve in our counties to account. We, as Senators, will continue to be alert in terms of ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I propose to drop Clause 7(a) and beg to move: THAT, Clause 7(b) be part of the Bill. view
