• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank Sen. Mbito for bringing this Statement. There are many harmful substances to our health in this country that are still in our markets. Goods such as toxic fertilizers, expired foodstuffs that are repackaged for sale and many others. Many cars on our roads are not roadworthy, therefore producing toxic fumes leading to blurred vision as one drives. As a result of all these things, there is a spike in the cases of cancer in this country. My family has lost two people to cancer in the last two weeks. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBs) ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: to pick a bribe from them but leave cars that are not roadworthy. There is urgent need to regulate air pollution from cars. Pollution into our rivers also needs to be looked into. We recently visited Uasin Gishu County and I saw a river that resembled a raw sewer. I hope that the water from that river is not used for human consumption. I hope that the water is not used by anybody because if it is, then we expect people to get all manner of problems. Madam Deputy Speaker, even our seas and lakes are not safe. There is ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1) to seek Statement from the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the current drought situation in the counties in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) regions. In the Statement the Committee should – (1) Outline the level of preparedness of both the county governments and national Government in mitigating drought situation in counties in ASAL regions given that all water pans in the region, especially Wajir, have dried up.

• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to thank Sen. Malalah for bringing this Statement. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this pandemic is real and is finishing our people. What is more important is that because of the economic impact of this, people’s nutritional levels have gone down. As a result, other opportunistic diseases can kill people more easily than COVID-19 itself. Because of the economic impact, Kenyans cannot afford their meals. In July 2020, my Senator brought a Statement about a senior employee of Wajir County Health who succumbed to COVID-19 because there was ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: that county. I understand there are ventilator machines, but there is no oxygen in the county. Which is cheaper? A ventilator machine or an oxygen cylinder? There are some critical questions that we need to ask ourselves that need responses. In my own county, the COVID-19 fund that was allocated to Wajir County, 98 per cent of that fund was spent within three months after receiving the funds. Where did that money go? It hurts me so much to say that the people who are responsible to make sure there is accountability in this country are failing their job. The ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: himself. That is an area that we need to applaud His Excellency the President for ensuring that this happens. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I wish to support the Statement brought by Senator of Kakamega County. I thank you. view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Use of languages interchangeably is not allowed by our Standing Order. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has used the word ‘ Utu’ without permission from the Chair to use a different language other than the one she started with. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this matter. I wish to thank the two Senior Counsels and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for making us proud and representing us very well. I will not forget Dr. Okello and his team who are always diligent, professional and knowledgeable, and it always contributes to the success of this Senate. Let us not forget them as we praise each other. It is not a mistake that this Senate has three Senior Counsels and not any other House in this country. We are very proud of the Senators ... view
