• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this great Motion by Sen. Judith Pareno, who has just been conferred with the title of party leader. I want to say that that is fairly futuristic because we know that party leader may mean any party leader but in our jurisdiction, party leader means the leader of the party.

• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: In this regard, I am not sure whether she would want to rival the hon. Raila Odinga, but certainly it is the wish for the---. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think the idea is futuristic and even the Mover was very optimistic; we reminded her that we are in 2019 and it was all about 2022. Anyway, it is about women’s power. I have just come from the requiem mass for the late hon. Ken Okoth and hon. Pareno was there. It reminded me of my days in ODM with the Chair; nafikiri Chama bado iko imara. Madam Temporary Speaker, I strongly support this Motion. If the Chair could allow me to also - because I have not had that opportunity - to pay ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Governor Joyce Laboso was the first lady Deputy Speaker having been with her in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). I remember seeing her coming to life together with hon. Beatrice Kones when they were introduced after the two by-elections due to the death of the husband of hon. Beatrice Kones; hon. Kipkalia Kones, and the late hon. Lorna Laboso. She was like a mother to us. In fact, when she was in the Chair, like you are, we used to joke a lot like children because the mother was around. She was articulate. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when I spoke to her last year, she expressed her desire to join the Senate. However, this was not to be. We eulogize her for proving that women can be elected as leaders. She won with a landslide and became the first woman governor for Bomet County. She was amongst the three elected governors. She was a trailblazer and we really honor her. Madam Temporary Speaker, the late hon. Ken Okoth was a great leader that I met in the Eleventh Parliament. We were the young Turks of ODM. Hon. Zuleikha Juma Hassan, the current Member of ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: he was brought up in. In you, Kibra had its own mirror to look into. The children of the ghettos knew that they too could amount to something for they saw themselves in you. You gave them hope and invested in their future. Education, the great equalizer was your hallmark. You are a true embodiment of resilience of the people of Kibra. You talked and thought of them. You were a charismatic young leader with brains and a vision. You were fought hard by the powers due to your projects like Kibra High School. People coveted your sit right into ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Today if one falls sick, the first thing that they will do is to search in Google. However, Google gives all the symptoms which make one to think that they will be dying the following day. Telemedicine will help to leverage on the many deaths that one has to die before they realise that it is not as bad as it looks because it interfaces text but the actual confirmation from human knowledge. This practise is there. When I was a student in Leeds University, I could see the doctors consulting via computer. I have also seen it at Nairobi ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. She is the Member of Parliament for Likoni. She has said that she is the Senator for Likoni. However, I thank her for the correction. I do not know the reason as to why I confuse the two. I could be confusing them because they are the two women supremoes from the coast region. The private hospitals are already doing telemedicine but the problem is our public institutions. The doctors in public hospitals should also get these services. Neo-natal care is very important. I draw this from my personal experience. My babies came prematurely and ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Tele-medicine will also help in local knowledge management, especially in Africa. The question is; how do you apply this knowledge with limited resources to a certain locality that is remote? Therefore, it is not just a question of expertise from abroad but also local knowledge in terms how to handle such a situation with limited resources. It will also help in terms of reducing consultancy fees because that is a deterrent to people who would want to see doctors. People will not have to pay dearly for a qualified professional. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I support, I strongly condemn Governor Sonko for embarrassing the late hon. Okoth during the funeral service. Leaders should have decorum. Those are not things you discuss in a funeral. Justice should take place. There should be a mediator. It is embarrassing and Monica the wife of the late hon. Okoth should be respected. view
