• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. That is very refreshing news. Mining for us is almost what we rely on, to create wealth. If it is lifted, I would be extremely happy because our people can go back to mining and raise revenue for the Government. We can get more money in terms of grants that come from minerals. Since we have started getting royalties from minerals, we are also awaiting royalties from the vast land that is hosting the Tsavo conservation area. We are not getting anything yet Section 76 of the Wildlife Management Act, 2013 stipulates that 5 ... view

• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this Communication from the Chair. This was my first experience to go to Turkana and we learnt a lot. This year the Senate Mashinani took place in Turkana and we had the opportunity to meet the County’s committees. In my Committee on Education, we learnt a lot especially on vocational training, but the challenges are still there. view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, each of the eight sub-counties has one Vocational Training Centre (VTC), but most of them have no workshops or laboratories. I was wondering how learners can learn skills without laboratories. I would not have known these things if I was sitting here in the Senate. Mashinani is something that we should do more. Instead of doing it once a year, we should increase it to twice a year because that way, we can cover as many counties as possible.

• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: We were misunderstood when we went there because the residents of Turkana asserted that we interact with them. We were there to interact with the committees of the County Assembly for them to learn. However, we can go there the next time to campaign with the Senator for Turkana because this time we had not gone to meet with the people, but for the Senate Mashinani. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there were petitions that were to be canvassed then maybe, we would have met more people in Turkana. The experience was amazing, fulfilling and we learnt from that Senate Mashinani. ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to the Facility Improvement Finance Bill. For starters, I am a strong proponent and supporter of devolution of health services. Before devolution most of the hospitals were in very deplorable conditions. However, after devolution, we have seen improvement in provision of health services, though we are not there yet. This Bill provides a mechanism for connection, retention, and management of funds. After this Bill is enacted, there will be attendant regulations that will stipulate clearly how the money will be collected, retained and how purchase of both pharmaceuticals and ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: monies from hospitals to CRF accounts, so that the own-source revenue could go up and they could benefit from the parameter of fiscal responsibility. However, in the formula we are using now, the parameter is no longer there. We encourage the House to pass this Bill because it will be an incentive for hospitals to improve the medical services, so that more people can come to hospitals and hospitals can collect more money. The provisions of health care will be better and better. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I like the fact that we have many committees from the county, sub-county ... view

• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: THAT, teachers in these areas need the allowance to cushion them against the following: (a) Insecurity caused by marauding wild animals from Tsavo National Park. (b) High cost of water due to lack of clean water and drought. (c) High cost of travel due to impassable roads, occasional floods and remoteness. (d) High cost of housing due to lack of rental houses within the vicinity of the schools. (e) Too much work caused by understaffing.
