• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also wish to join you in welcoming the students from Kakamega and Nandi counties. We talked about cancer yesterday, and I talked of the relationship between cancer and corruption. Today, I want to relate corruption to cheating of exams. We believe that one harvests what they plant. The character of these students is being formed in school. Therefore, I want them to have a different life from ours. They should grow up to be honest people and apply that honesty in their exams. We have had rampant cases of exam malpractices and that is ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: that is the homework that they need to do. I am sure that they are already doing that. We need to put in extra effort because that is what we need in this country. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to second the Motion. Before I do so, I also wish to join you in welcoming the visiting students. We have a delegation from Tegla Loroupe Primary School. Tegla Loroupe Primary School is named after a great lady who not only succeeded in sports, but also in bringing the community together by spearheading peace process in her community. Students from both Vihiga and West Pokot counties should emulate that lady because she has far- reaching impact in this country. Madam Speaker, I wish to second the Motion by Sen. Pareno. She has ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: people access information. In addition to that, telemedicine allows information to be shared by many doctors. All you need is to have the data in a central point where everybody can access. This is in terms of new research and surgery which comes into play. In some developed countries like the United States of America (USA), a doctor can perform a surgery to a patient in Kenya using technology. They need to have prior diagnostic information for that patient, which can be communicated using the same technology. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, surgery through telemedicine is called tele-surgery. This is where a surgeon conducts surgery in one country. With the help of technology, he talks to people in another country. That is possible and it is already being practiced in other countries. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, nobody has monopoly of information; no doctor has a right to knowledge. There are many people with different knowledge from different areas. For instance, when we were discussing cancer yesterday, we were told that every cancer is different, and comes with its own issues. Therefore, a video conferencing link is possible with telemedicine. Consequently, ten different doctors in ten different countries can go into a conference and discuss an issue regarding a patient. They can do all the analysis, share the information each has and experience that they enjoy and come to the best conclusion for that ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Through use of telemedicine, Scotland has linked up a referral hospital to a small hospital that does not have such facilities. That way, specialist doctors were able to provide special information to the north east of Scotland to the Aberdare Royal Infirmary through the use of video links. The other development that can be used in terms of telemedicine is robotics. Robots have been used to conduct a surgery being controlled by a doctor who is in another country. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are benefits that come with the use of telemedicine, especially in developing countries, where the transfer of ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: pioneers of mobile money transfer. I am surprised that telemedicine has never been practiced in this country and yet there is an opportunity. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Ministry of Education is piloting a project linking remote schools to others which have better facilities for scientific subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. In my county, there are some areas where the very highly qualified teachers will not go to because of the presence of al-Shabaab. Therefore, some piloting is ongoing, where a teleconference is held between a teacher in Alliance High School and a teacher in that remote school. That ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought this Bill was passed first by Senate and so, it should be the other House reading the First Time and not the Senate. How did it end up that it should be read in our House the First Time when we already read it and finished before them? The Division of Revenue Bill is the same. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the other House has passed it and this House has also passed it, what is the procedure in terms of how it should be proceeded from here? view
