Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I fully support Sen. Mumma on this issue. Today, having the Cabinet Secretary here, it was sad when I asked about the number of deaths, of which she never gave the data. It seems arrogant that the Government does not give a damn how many deaths we have had ever since the strike occurred. I am sure if we decide to take data, we will get more dead bodies during the strike than ever before. It is unfortunate. Healthcare is devolved to county governments. However, I think Senators, as Members of the national Government, ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Madam Cabinet Secretary, I have just been wondering; actually, the morgues are now full. The patients are not being attended to and they are dying.

Kindly, do something.

Women in Kenya, like their counterparts globally, have battled and continue to face systemic barriers that inhibit their full participation in all spheres of life. Climate change poses a unique and disproportionate threat to women, particularly those in rural areas who depend on natural resources for their livelihoods. The adverse effects of climate change, including erratic weather patterns, drought and floods have exacerbated food insecurity, water scarcity and economic instability, placing an undue burden on the shoulders of our mothers, daughters and sisters. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the challenges of peace and security remain paramount as women often bear the brunt ...
