• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that will be okay so that we can be supplied with the written statement. I agree with you that it can be given tomorrow so that we can critique it. view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Committee which I belonged to, for doing very comprehensive work and bringing a report to the House for adoption. The Committee was initially known as the Committee on Education, Information and Technology. It was one of the most vibrant in this House. I am glad that we are seeing the results of the work that we did. As we speak, I am happy to report that the County of Nyamira, for instance, where we visited, is now laying the fibre terminal. This will assist young entrepreneurs, educational institutions and the rest to harness ... view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this timely Motion. The first mistake that maybe the Senate made was to unbundle this function. This function could have been left to the national Government. It is ironical that the national Government remains with 85 per cent of the national budget and the meager 15 per cent that is sent to the counties is even left to health care facilities. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view

It is ironical that the national Government remains with 85 per cent of the national budget and the meager 15 per cent that is sent to the counties is even left to health care facilities. Madam Temporary Speaker, mistake number two on this line is when governors, some of whom do not understand the problems faced by medics, are ... view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, all these functions were unbundled in the Constitution, but it was not mandatory for us to unbundle them to the counties if they were not ready to take that position. So I do not think I am out of order to give such a sentiment. I said “maybe the first mistake we may have made.” I used the word “May.” view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As I was saying, some of these problems we are facing especially when I am talking about a county hospital called Nyamira Level Four Hospital, whereby I have had issues with the County Government, I play my role of oversight. I do not have to tell anyone that I am going to any area of Nyamira County. So, when I made my impromptu visit to that hospital, it cost the job of our medical superintendent. That is why it is very important for the national government and the county governments to come up with mechanisms ... view

• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether I am the only one who heard Sen. Sang saying that if the Questioner would have stuck with the first Standing Order mentioned, he could be happy to be answering as a president. Is he in order to give such a statement? view
