• 6 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also rise to support this Bill. From the outset, I would like to applaud my sister, Sen. Elachi, for seeing it fit to bring this amendment to the NYS Act by amending Section 13 to devolve this unit to the counties. This will be a very good thing to do because we shall be devolving some of these services to what we think there are some security aspects of essential services like the police services and the national youth that should be taken to the counties. As we are ... view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also support this Motion. From the outset, let me congratulate Sen.

As you are aware, since September 2013, many doctors have resigned from public hospitals in Kenya. The highest number of these doctors who resigned was in Embu County where over 16 doctors resigned. This is unacceptable. We, as the Senate, must interrogate these issues and come up with a solution. The reasons why many of these medical practitioners are resigning ... view

• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. I want to plead with my senior Senator who I have a lot of respect for, if this Statement could be issued in three days’ time. Kenyans out there are crying and grieving. You saw quite a number of families that were distraught as a result of what happened. view
