• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Chairman, you are carrying a very heavy burden, and it will be a light burden if you take your time – through you, Madam Temporary Speaker – to bring complaints and a report of all the hospitals; we go through them and then the same Committee will be charged with the responsibility of coming up with a Bill which will involve the central Government and county governments; who will enforce some things to be done – like facilitation – it will be within the law. That is what I am trying to say. As another Senator said here, we would ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in this House we have enough freedom to suggest and agree or disagree. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: I am very clear in my mind that I said this report would have been better if we allowed the men and women who were doing it to do all the 47 counties. Even if they are not going to deal with 47 counties, I am saying that their recommendations have captured everything that we expected of them and there is nothing wrong because I am sure things must go that way. With those few remarks, I want to thank them once again for enabling this House to have a moment to discuss about hospital development. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for this opportunity. First of all, I have been listening and have gone through the document which is in front of us. I have seen that among the three teams; the Controller of Budget, our Committee and the Speaker of the Turkana County Assembly, my respect goes to the Speaker of the Turkana County Assembly.

He reported something that was ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are together. I do not quite understand what the hon. Senator wanted to say. Maybe he held back what he wanted to say. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, but I want to repeat what I said in a very short statement. We want this matter to be taken back to the Committee. Let us pass this Motion next time, when we know that the truth has been discovered and, therefore, also know who committed this crime. Let us not forget that we are dealing with political institutions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Turkana County Assembly is a ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you once again for allowing me to make some statements on this amendment. I think we have done a credible job in this House today because we refused to allow the Senate to be used as just a passing cloud. I want to congratulate all the Senators who have supported this amendment and also those who rejected the Motion as it was. It is true that we were going to pass something which was not clear. Our Committee which is supposed to be vetting the county government on our behalf failed in ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said that but it was not public and it was not the property of the House. That was a private discussion between me and him and, therefore, does not warrant to be treated as if it is a statement which was made. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: I said he had no choice because it was unanimous for him to bring it here. Not even the Chairman has the choice if the Committee decides to bring the Motion here. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am being required to withdraw something which is very clear to me. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I apologize. view
