• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is also the issue of reluctance. I do not know how it comes in but it is well known that some medical staff are very reluctant. Somebody comes for work, signs in and then leaves. When patients come, they do not find anybody who can treat them. So, these patients move from one hospital to the other and at the end of the day, they are not attended to. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: There is also the issue of absenteeism, and I do not know whether it is being addressed. The same issue also affects our hospitals. One example is the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. One day we wanted to confirm whether these officers actually come to work. It was out of order because at least half of the employees were not at work. You will find one doctor trying to attend to about ten patients at once. When you ask about the others, you will find that they are not there but in the morning, they clocked in to ensure that ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is also the issue of good morals in our hospitals. You will find a young lady goes to the hospital to be attended to by the doctor but instead of the doctor addressing her needs, he develops other ideas and wants to convert the same patient to a girlfriend. These things are there. A doctor has been found in a hospital telling a lady to lie down in the name of examining her but it was another business he was doing. This is an issue which we have all seen happening in our hospitals and we ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Lastly, it is time we sat down, now that we have a new Constitution and a devolved system of government, I want to support Sen. (Prof.) Lesan that we should devolve these functions to the county governments so that the boards can be monitored and whoever does not go to work can answer to the authority which is near. Those people who are in the county governments are the ones who are affected most by these things. So, if we devolve these functions and ensure that the county governments take charge to ensure that work is done, I am sure ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: A healthy nation is a working nation. If we have to transform this country, then we need people who are healthy. It is our role to ensure that we provide that because it is in the Constitution. This country will change only if we think alongside those lines. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker for giving me this chance to make my contribution on this very important Motion. First, this country is in transition. We are moving from analogue to a digital way of doing things. I also appreciate the fact that we are in a digital government. The success of our county assemblies is the success of this Senate. This is because most of the work that is done today by our county assemblies sums up what the Senate is supposed to do. Yes, we are supposed to protect the interests of the counties and county assembly members ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to make my contribution on this Motion that concerns the young people of this country. First, the youth of this country continue to suffer. That is why we talk about insecurity in this country. Previous Governments have allocated money to issues regarding security. You will hear the Government say that it wants to purchase 200 vehicles for the police. The Government may also say that it will employ a number of policemen to take care of the security of this country. If young people were empowered and earned some ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to second the amendment by Sen. Muthama. Madam Temporary Speaker, we all know that devolution is about allocating resources to all the counties in Kenya; and that is the job of this House. If there are places, as mentioned, basically where projects were done – we have Rusinga, Turkwel and a number of other companies that operate today – and if the people who live in those areas or the communities surrounding those resources or projects were not compensated, it is our role as the Senate to ensure that they ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Machage for bringing this Motion. Last weekend, I attended the burial of one of the greatest engineers in Moi University. The circumstances under which he died surround what we are discussing today. He has a first born son who was also a student in Moi University, School of Engineering. This boy has really done everything to ensure that his parents are not comfortable. He has been taken to about three rehabilitation centres. The last time he was taken to Kisumu. When his father took him there the ... view
