• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: get services because they feel that it is cheaper than to seek health services in Kenya. This is despite the quality of healthcare that we have. view
• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when somebody is charged after the loss of a loved one, that is double tragedy for them. First of all, they lose their loved one whom they wanted to take care of. Secondly, there is a huge bill that--- These people are left with huge bills. Therefore, it is like the person has died twice and people are so helpless, especially people who are unstable financially. All Kenyans are not the same. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other thing is that most people are not aware of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). By just paying a voluntary ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support the Adjournment Motion but I have a different view. I thought we should have handled this slightly better. Yesterday some Senators said the same thing; that we could be coming every Tuesday to address new issues as they arise but not have a complete shutdown. Given that this is a health issue and that health is devolved, this House has much more responsibility in terms of how this moves forward. As the Senate Majority Leader has rightly said, we might even need to ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: I believe that in any disaster, sometimes there are opportunities as well. This is because of the rate at which environmental pollution is going on in this world. The pandemic has led to factories slowing down and flights being cancelled. That will have a positive impact on the environment. Human being have become so greedy that we do not care how much we pollute our rivers, the skies and everywhere to the detriment of our lives and the future of this earth. As much as I am not in support of this Motion, at least this pandemic has brought some ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: As you are aware, this pandemic has had a very huge impact on the world economy. I wanted to bring a Statement to that effect but now that we will adjourn, I will not have that opportunity. Therefore, I will use this opportunity to address it. The International Financial Institution (IFI) has warned that the global economic growth will drop to 1 per cent as compared to 2.6 per cent in a similar period. As a result, countries that are developing or emerging economies will be challenged in terms of repayment of their debts because you can only generate revenue ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: A lot of issues have arisen because of the COVID-19. It would have been better if we ensured that at least we keep abreast of issues as they emerge. We should congregate here every Tuesday and debate on the issues, so that we give solutions instead of all of us shutting down and becoming part of the panic. We do not want people to panic. This is a serious threat. I am not belittling it but I think the panic could reduce if we are there to speak to issues. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Look at the airlines--- view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute. I also thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for taking up this Petition because, seriously, where will people run to? I mean, how can the Government block everything of this cooperative society? For example, when there was an evaluation and they wanted to sell the building so that they settle their bills, there was an intervention, but they hurriedly sold the building. This Senate should know who has the interest in this building. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: The other issue is that as the CS is summoned, the university must also be summoned. If they deducted money from the employees, why are they keeping it? The university should be declared insolvent. Why are they not able to meet their obligation? In my view, there is the fact that someone is refusing to submit deductions and the fact that when people make remedial measures to stop the SACCO from being liquidated, yet someone else does not want to renew their license. Who is this person who is interested in the SACCO and has high linkages that nobody can ... view
