• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I agree with my colleagues that this is a very timely Bill. When you have an opportunity to source medicine or any other commodity from a variety of places, it gives you an opportunity to compare prices. Right now, we have problems with the Kenya Power because of monopoly. In my county, four premature babies died in incubators because of lack of electricity in a certain hospital. This kind of problem is as a result of monopoly of Kenya Power. Had this country liberalised power, there ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I send my condolences to those families, especially the mothers who lost their babies. It pains me so much to see something like that happening. I also urge our Governor to urgently purchase a generator so that when there is a power outage in the hospital, there is at least backup power that can support machines. That way, patients who are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and babies in incubators can be saved. Sometimes I tend to believe that we need to do something about health in the counties because health is a fully devolved function. ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: tribe because of locality issues. You should give leadership to the person who deserves and not a person who is corrupt and just filling their own pockets. Madam Deputy Speaker, coming back to this Bill, I also wish to thank Sen. Shiyonga for not allowing the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) to continue enjoying a monopoly.

• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, now that we are dispensed with the Bill that was on the Order Paper, there was debate about the First Reading of the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.56 of 2021) because some Members wanted to speak. Can you give us an opportunity to speak to it for the remaining few minutes? That is my request. I do not know what other Senators feel about it. view

• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bills No.9 of 2021) be now read a Third Time. I request Sen. Olekina to second. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I am not in the Senate Business Committee (SBC) either and I want to assure the Chairperson that I am not the one who put it there. If the Chairperson has some amendments that will enhance the Bill, I am okay with it being stood down. However, I am also concerned that this Bill has taken too long from October, 2018 up to now. I would really beseech the Chair to fast-track it so that it is on the next business of the House. view
