Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to join you and my fellow Senators in welcoming Sen. Ngugi to this House. This House has the most senior counsels as Members. I think we have a higher percentage than the ‘Lower House’. This House has more Doctorates of Philosophy (PhDs) as well. This is the House where people who are very much experienced in constitutional law and other relevant laws in this country are housed. Therefore, this is a House with a lot of wisdom. You have a lot to learn. However, you will learn quickly because you have people with ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in agreement with the proposal made by Sen. Orengo. I would just like to point out that three Committees of this House have a planned breakfast meeting tomorrow to discuss another regulation. Beware that some Members will be unavailable tomorrow.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I also wish to thank my Senator for supporting his profession and Kenyans at large to make healthcare better in this country. Posting of interns to the national and county government health facilities encourages the people who are newly trained to practice whatever they have learned in those facilities. That will go a long way in terms of skill transfer. The welfare scheme for all health workers will bring motivation in ensuring that a health worker in Nairobi is paid the same as health ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it also reviews the recommendation for training. The council will be able to recommend training. I just want to bring to your attention a practical example of somebody in my county who had applied to be trained at the University of Nairobi (UoN) for a Master’s course. Last year, his county said that because we have the COVID-19 pandemic, we should hold it for that time. With the increase in vaccination, the person wanted to join the university, but he has again been asked to wait because of the scarcity of vaccines in the county.

The problem is if that person defers his studies twice in the university, he will not get another opportunity to be admitted. He will have to start all these processes afresh. Many people who are admitted to do a Master’s degree in Medicine understand that it is very difficult to get an admission. If that person loses that opportunity, even if they are with you in the county, they are very demotivated people in terms of the skill they impart. We can understand that is happened the first time, but what about the second time? It is now to the ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to reply to this Bill. I beg to reply. I also wish to thank His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta for being in the forefront in ensuring that infrastructure projects in this country are fast-tracked and that whatever borrowing that we did, it was worth it. The kind of level of infrastructure that this country has experienced for the past at least nine years and more so last four years has been immense. We just need somebody to continue with that legacy to ensure that this country is developed and ...
