• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. This Petition relates to a place I know very well, which is somehow also home. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: I was listening to colleagues. The concern is that we are dealing with the same issue over time without a solution. I think this is the second petition on this matter on top of a Statement that was brought by Sen. Khaniri. 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
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: I can see Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader are here. I urge them to find a way of resolving the stalemate with the National Assembly. In as much as Kenyans have a lot of confidence in bringing these issues here, the more they bring the same issue and it has no solution, then they will lose confidence in this House. That same forum should discuss the matter of our Bills in the National Assembly that they have refused to deal with and declared some arbitrarily as money Bills despite the fact that ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: I am glad that the Chairperson has alluded to the fact that there is thawing of the ice and that there is a new spirit of camaraderie with the leadership in the other House. However, practically, we need a schedule of all the Bills that have gone there, including the one on county boundaries by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and, in addition, a plan of action as to how we are going to deal with them. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the previous Parliament, I chaired the Committee on National Cohesion, a joint committee of both Houses. My Vice Chair was Sen. (Eng.) Hargura. We went to Lokwar and Nakuse in Turkana. We also went to Nginyang, Loruk and Baragoi in Samburu which is your own county. That is in Nachola Ward. The solutions are there. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: If you wake me up at 3.00 a.m., I will tell you about Nachola Ward in your county where the Member of County Assembly (MCA) is called Lawrence, if I am not wrong. I will also tell you what we saw in Turkana South where the MP himself was running around with a gun. I know about the issues on Turkwel. We have the solution, but it seems that stalemate is what is holding us back. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge that you take due notice. Let us convene the leadership to resolve these issues in the fastest way possible for the benefit of the people of the Republic of Kenya. view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is similar. It is easy to casually make a claim like that out of conventional talks out there. However, the Standing Orders demand that every Member should be responsible for a statement or fact. I would like to ask if it is in order for him to say that the Former President gave land as gifts to people in that county. If so, he should substantiate or withdraw because you cannot just fly around with that. We would like to know the people who received gifts. Once we know, we will ask where our fathers were; ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I first want to offer my deep condolences to the family of the late Ms. Virginia Assaf who died due to negligence in Nairobi City County at MP Shah Hospital. I thank the Committee on Health for addressing this matter, and specifically Sen. Mugo for raising it. If you look at this Statement, it is a huge indictment on MP Shah Hospital as well as many of our private hospitals in Nairobi City County. Many of our private hospitals are denying Kenyans emergency healthcare treatment and they are putting profit before the lives of Kenyans. ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: me in checking some of them. I will give the Committee a list because there are many such complaints and not just on this one for Ms. Assaf. I am glad to note that there is a recommendation to fine the hospital Kshs3 million because of this. Kenyans are coming to us with statements and petitions because they feel that this House has been able to respond and is playing its part. As I conclude, my earlier contention was that even as we deal with this, let it be done in accordance with our Standing Orders. Earlier on when I ... view
