• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: We have stated it and the action that we are already taking there. Therefore, I think that the questions asked by Sen. Malalah and Sen. Were will just enrich the communication. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like us to look at paragraphs 14 and 15 on page 13. That is where the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and the issue of Dr. Lutomia come. They observe that the time of dismissal is wrong and has significant impact on the morale and motivation of staff. It is unclear whether procedures and administrative processes were followed. As such, further investigation into the matter is required immediately. This is a preliminary observation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: We are already seized of the matter. Our reports are on themes. As an addendum to this Report, we will report on economic and finance issues but we will report on that specific Statement next Tuesday. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 51(1) (b) to make a further Statement on the issue for which the Committee is responsible. This was a request by the Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo, EGH, regarding the burial of Mr. James Oyugi Onyango, a resident of Siaya County, who reportedly died of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). As Senators will recall, the said Statement was sought from the Ad Hoc Committee on the COVID-19 situation during the sitting of the Senate held on Tuesday, 14th April, 2020. At the sitting of the Senate held on 21st April, 2020, ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee considered this response from the CS and made the following recommendations, which were communicated back to the CS. I believe the Secretariat also passed this response to Sen. Orengo as I directed them. (1) Having acknowledged that the burial of the late Mr. James Onyango was not carried out in line with the guidelines and protocols issued by the Ministry, and noting the distress this matter has caused not just to Mr. Onyango’s immediate family, but also to the community in Siaya and beyond, the CS should get in touch with and offer an ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not an agenda. It is regarding Part “c” of this Motion, where I am being replaced. It has been said that I resigned, and it is good for me to clarify to the House. Kindly, give me one or two minutes to make those clarifications. First of all, it would be very unfair for us, as a House, to pass this Motion without commending Sen. M. Kajwang' for the work he has done as the Chair of the CPAIC. For the last two years, we have seen them reduce the backlog and very good ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all schooled in Lenana School. Secondly, it is true that I resigned from the position of Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, and I thank all the Members of that Committee. I effectively chaired it for the last two years because the substantive Chair, Sen. Haji, has been engaged otherwise. People usually say it is unusual for politicians to resign, but I resigned. I also chaired the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the Young Parliamentarians Association. I am also part of AFC Leopards Football Club. I am ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir; I rise to move - THAT the Senate adopts the Third Progress Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Covid-19 Disease Situation in Kenya laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 28th April, 2020. May I seek guidance on how many minutes I have to move the Motion. I will just give an executive summary. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir; as noted in the First and Second Progress Reports, dated 7th April, 2020 and 14th April, 2020, during the initial faces of the work of this Ad Hoc Committee, we clustered emerging issues into five thematic areas. These are issues arising from Covid-19 Disease outbreak. The issues are as follows: (1) Health; (2) Economic and finance issues; (3) Social public order and human rights; (4) Access to food, water and basic commodities; and, (5) Support services and cross-cutting issues. Having already reviewed best practice from comparative jurisdictions and analyzed key issues and concerns arising ... view
