• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I beg to give Notice of the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to Standing Orders 254 and 255, the Senate approves the Fourth Report of the Procedure and Rules Committee on periodic amendments to the Standing Orders of the Senate, laid on the Table of the Senate, on Tuesday, 14th June, 2022, and pursuant to the provisions of Article 124(1) of the Constitution and Standing Order Nos.255 and 257- (i) Resolves to amend its Standing Orders as contained in Appendix 1 to the Report; and, (ii) Orders that the amendments to the Standing Orders as contained ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I join Sen. Cherargei in congratulating Sen. Iman for bringing this Statement. Madam Deputy Speaker, I am saddened that Garissa County Referral Hospital has deteriorated. That institution used to be the referral center for the whole of North Eastern Region before devolution. We cannot forgive anybody for running down that institution view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: because it was at a different level before devolution. I am ashamed that it has degenerated to that level. Madam Deputy Speaker, one of the criteria for the formula that we passed the last time, was on 17 per cent bed occupancy. The more the people do not go to the hospital to seek services due to their unavailability, the less the resources for the county hospital. Another issue is the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The NHIF allocates resources in terms of claims, according to the bed occupancy. That is another lost opportunity. Madam Deputy Speaker, as a country, ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute towards this Petition. I want to congratulate the petitioners for having trust in this House to come and air their grievances. Lack of security of tenure of medical personnel is a clear indication that the governor does not mean well for the people of his county. This is because if he did, the health staff are the ones who should be enjoying security of tenure so that they can serve people without a lot of pressure. How do you expect people who do not know whether tomorrow ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: There was a clear indication from the petitioners that there were some people who were fired because of malpractice. However, they were even reinstated before the conclusion of their case. What does that mean? Was this meant to scare these people who are just there to help the people and to ensure that those who are corrupt are protected? Who is benefitting from all that loot? I think the Governor is better placed to answer this question. Madam Temporary Speaker, I find Uasin Gishu County irresponsible for mixing its equipment with those of the national Government facility. They allowed their ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: I urge the people of Uasin Gishu County to elect an expert in their field; a better Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who means well for his county. If he is not properly trained to be a CEO of an institution, then he cannot do anything. Corrupt people in the system will continue maneuvering if the governor does not have clout to control them. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: By not having security of tenure, people are disenfranchised and do not even have the clout to question anything that goes wrong. Employees in Kenya, including those in Uasin Gishu County, need to understand that there are employment laws that protect them from vultures who are out to destroy their career. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: The medical career is noble and medics spend years moiling to get proper education to take care of people’s health. When such people are mistreated, what do you expect? It can even cause mental issues just as highlighted in the Bill that was sponsored by Sen. Kasanga, to take care of people with mental health. These are people that you need to take care of. They have skills that ensure people get the right medical care. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a mission to ensure that coffers in counties are dried up. Otherwise, what the petitioners are claiming is a serious matter. If we had a Governor who had the interest of his people at heart, then such a thing would never have happened. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: All this is happening to ensure that those who are doing their jobs properly, are discharged so that the corrupt ones are reinstated without proper procedures. This will create an environment where no one will ask any questions. Whoever is in power will be left to steal as much as they want, with no consequences at all. It is because there is a high turnover of the people who would raise these issues, since they do not have security of tenure. Lack of an organogram, proper recruitment process and lack of skilled staff creates chaos in any county. I wish ... view
