• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Making money or profit is an additional objective which is outside their primary objective of protecting the life and health of individuals. Therefore, this incident which has happened in Vihiga, calls for attention and putting laws in place that would ensure that medical institutions particularly the private medical institutions, do not make the pursuit of profit as the major objective of the medical profession. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, medical institutions now have become like some of the churches whereby the objective of starting a church is no longer to try to take people to heaven; rather the objective is to make money on earth. Sometimes I think I went to the wrong profession. I should have started a church and today I would probably be called a Cardinal or a Pope; I would be living in a very palatial home. All that I would need to do is to pray for Sen. Murkomen or perform a miracle that when he plays football, he shall not ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In equal measure, once somebody decides to run a private medical institution, he should be obligated to, first and foremost, look into the welfare of those who are admitted into those medical institutions. That also applies to public hospitals particularly the county ones now that we have many county hospitals of various levels and dispensaries. I think the Committee on Health should now begin to be more intensive in carrying out oversight over how counties are running these medical institutions, hospitals and dispensaries alike. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: As Sen. Khaniri has pointed out, Vihiga has to show us where those hundreds of million shillings are going in terms of taking care of citizens who live in that county. Therefore, I commiserate with Sen. Khaniri and hope that the Committee on Health will take up this matter promptly and come back with the answers to the Senate. view

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief on this matter, particularly where the real work has been compromised and now we are just approving. 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
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: There is a schedule coming from the National Treasury when we should have been at the beginning of the process. I think even the Leader of the Majority referred to it. That structure and process should be looked at anew. I wanted to take a little bit from what the Leader of the Majority was saying before I go to the report substantively. From what he has said, sometimes when you go to some of these counties you find that what the county officials are doing is different from what is indicated in the report of the Auditor-General. You will ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In fact, it is not an issue that you have to go to a bank account to look at some documents when you are being shown real things. When they hear us or the Auditor- General saying that that county is doing very well, we really become a laughing stock. I would urge the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAIC) that these remarks are really for them to intensify their work. The Auditor-General is an instrument of Parliament; he is accountable to Parliament. They do not report to any other institution. They do not report to the President or the Judiciary. ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir it is not lost to me because this is something that we cannot wish away. I would definitely not wish it away and the Speaker addressed himself to this when he was giving a ruling arising out of discussions that took place in Kitui. He 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
