• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: (UHC)? Do we have service delivery with regards to this equipment? If the equipment is in the counties and it is not being used, it is just a white elephant project, yet the equipment is supposed to benefit the health sector and Kenyans. At the moment, many Kenyans are not getting health services because of the ills in the hospitals. The Ministry of Health should give priority to some needs of the health sector. At the moment, we do not have enough capacity when it comes to human resource in the medical area, yet this is core when it comes ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare concerning establishment of youth development centers in the 47 counties. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: In the Statement the Committee should: (i) State how many youth development centres were established in the pilot phase of the sector plan for gender, youth and vulnerable groups in 2013 to 2017 by the then Ministry of Devolution and Planning in various counties. (ii) state whether Youth Development Centers were established in all the 47 counties as of 2017 as envisaged in the Sector Plan; (iii)state whether the Youth Development Centers are well equipped and functional to serve the purpose they are intended for; (iv) present audited information on the Youth Development Centers and success record since inception of ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment on this Statement. In quite a number of counties, it is possible to find a number of youth who are unemployed and idle. As a result of being idle, they get into activities that are not desirable for this nation. Some youth get into drugs and become drug addicts. Some of them have no mentors and end up killing each other. Because of the many psychosocial problems that youth go through, there is a need for the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, where I sit, to investigate these centers and give a ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Statement. I want to commend Sen. Halake for coming up with this Statement on the issue of fires, especially in the finance departments. It is an issue that we must take seriously because it cannot just happen that in public offices, especially the finance departments, fires are occurring. My thinking is that probably these fires are manmade. It is not really an accident where you can say that there was an electrical fault. There is need to investigate the causes of the fires--- The ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this important Bill. I commend what Sen. Farhiya has said with regards to the issue of lifestyle audit. This Bill is coming at a time when everyone is talking about fighting corruption. It will be effective if this is enshrined in law. The issues of corruption are endemic among public servants. One thing that public servants need to know is that when one is a public officer, they are there as a servant to serve people. You need to have a lot of integrity when serving people. Chapter ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: written law. It should not be done haphazardly. There should be a written law that speaks to the kind of audit that is being done. Madam Temporary Speaker, another thing that I like about this Bill by Sen. Farhiya is that not anyone can be audited. We have reasons as to why audits can be carried out. Under Clause 4, we have the “ifs” of audit. For example, if a person seems to be living far beyond their means, then that is a ground to do an audit. Also, if a person is unable to explain how they got their ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: representation. According to this Bill, the person being audited must be represented by law. Apart from being represented, the person must also be cross-examined so that he can defend himself. When it comes to an audit and you want to criminalise someone, you must talk to the person and give them a hearing. After that, cross-examine them so that even if a ruling is going to be done, it will be fair and just. However, when someone is being audited, it does not mean that the person should just keep mum, or that the person should not be represented. Something ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Statement. I thank Sen. Olekina for bringing this statement. This is an urgent matter which needs urgent attention. Many Kenyan families with loved ones stuck in Wuhan, China, are worried. We need to protect the Kenyans who are stuck in Wuhan, China, because they have a constitutional right to be protected. The Kenyan Government needs to evacuate our citizens who are stuck in China, particularly Wuhan. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Many countries hired aeroplanes to evacuate their citizens from Wuhan immediately the Coronavirus was reported. The Kenyan Government needs to look for means and ways to ensure that Kenyans in China are brought home safely. The Ministry of Health needs to come up with ways to prevent the disease from getting into Kenya because prevention is better than cure. If Coronavirus virus gets to Kenya we are done. China has the capacity to deal with the disease unlike Kenya. view
