• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: we are just being told stories and also the family cannot lay him to rest until the investigation is complete. So, it is unfortunate that the country is going through this. Seriously, are we heading to the dogs? I am saying it with bitterness. Twenty lives have been lost within one month and no explanation has come out for Kenyans to understand why this is happening--- view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will echo my SG and invite you to UNITE's team. I am a proud member of UNITE'S health team and I sit in the steering committee.

• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the deplorable state of health services at the Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital in Nairobi City County. Particularly, in the maternity wing, reports indicate severe overcrowding with as many as five patients sharing a single bed. Additionally, there are claims that patients are unable to fully access necessary facilities and are still being charged for services they could not utilize. The situation raises serious concerns about the dignity, safety, and well-being of the patients relying on the hospital ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the lack of a dedicated prayer facility for Muslim students at Moi Girls High School, Kibra Constituency in Nairobi City County despite Christian students having a designated space for fellowship. This issue raises concerns about religious inclusivity and equity in public institutions in the country. It is important to ensure that all students, regardless of their faith, have equal access to facilities that support their religious practices as guaranteed by the Constitution. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, under Standing Order No. 41, this is an important matter in terms of water and I can see we do not have quorum. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion, and commend my very able Chairman, our Deputy Part Leader of ODM, for the good work that he has been doing so far. I just wanted to note for very few minutes the cross-cutting points. I was looking at the audit report which was considered by the team, and some of the water companies have taken loans due to developing infrastructure for big dams, but they end up not being able to do it. They might have gotten the funds for the big dams, but then they did not consult ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: The other challenge is that counties do not have the co-ownership arrangements between the water companies at the national level and those at the county level. That one is also an issue. The challenge of non-revenue water has also been mentioned. It is a thorn in the flesh. They blame the old piping system, breakages, illegal connections and many other issues, but water companies need to invest on this. They need to invest in new technologies like upgrading the pipes and using smart metres to detect leakages. We need to embrace the smart metres to tackle the commercial losses done ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sorry, my question was for Dr. Mulwa. view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I raised this statement on the mosquito nets for investigation. I am aware of this investigation. Dr. Mulwa, apart from the loss that KEMSA incurred, did the alleged interference affect the relationship between the Global Fund and KEMSA? I remember, of course, the tender, which was about Kshs3.7 billion was terminated by Global Fund. So was there any relationship lost between the two? Secondly, did the Principal Secretary (PS), Josephine Mburu and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Terry Ramadhan, lose their jobs due to this tendering process of the mosquito net tender? Thirdly, did you feel ... view
