• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is about what Sen. Orengo has said regarding the possibility of a court process that is going on. Just to inform him, I have established that there is truly that court process, both against the county assembly and one which was purported against the Senate. Senior Counsel, as you conclude your comments, do you think that the governor will now still go back to the court? If he was to be faithful the way he was trying to be, now that we will not impeach him, will he go back to the same court and continue ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: insisting that the Senate has not completed the process? If the courts make a decision that the impeachment process should continue, can we come and continue afresh? What do you think? view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I congratulate Sen. Loitiptip, who is one of the youngest elected Senators in this Republic, for coming up with this important Statement. This House has dealt with many Statements that are related to compensation. We dealt with one about road issues in Kiambu and Uasin Gishu Counties where the Committee on Transport, Roads and Infrastructure visited. Delay in compensation is a problem across the country. Sometimes, there are delays in compensation because of internal interests within the institutions that deal with compensation. They sometimes inflate prices to the benefit of speculators and so forth. ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Lamu Port is important for us as a country. It is one of the biggest flagship projects of the Jubilee Administration. It is also part of Vision 2030 which was established by the Leadership of President Mwai Kibaki. Once the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor comes into effect, this country will change. However, we do not want Kenya to benefit while the people of Lamu suffer or are disenfranchised. Therefore, I hope that the Committee will not only call public officers to Nairobi but also have time to visit. I congratulate Sen. Wamatangi’s Committee for being proactive ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: seconded. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson of the Committee is yet to arrive. Considering the importance of these reports, with your permission can we move first or “stay”? Last week, the word ‘stay’ was used in different ways. Can we delay that order so that we go to Order No.15 which was the Motion moved by Sen. Nyamunga because she has already arrived and we continue with it as the Chairperson of the Committee is coming? From there, we can move, appreciating that the other Members are here, it can also give them time to prepare ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion and congratulate Sen. Nyamunga for thinking through it. From the beginning, Kenya is undergoing great transformation in as far as the health sector is concerned. Even though we have the Universal Healthcare Policy and the programme that is being rolled out in about four counties now as pilot projects; even though we spent billions of money to ensure that we put equipment for diagnosing in our hospitals, I still think we are not getting it right. We are not getting it right because we are focussing on the treatment and not on the ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: were focusing on asking every person who comes to hospital if they drink water directly from the river, or if they boil it. It became a consistent reminder that people must know that taking clean water and boiling water is the greatest step of preventing dysentery, diarrhoea and so on. You do not have to wait until you have diarrhoea and then you go to hospital for treatment. These are the same people who told the citizens of this country of how to deal with mosquitoes. They did this by sensitizing them about their environment, by making sure that they ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second thing is that in this country, there has been focus that we must put more money on development and not recurrent expenditure. I have said it in this House, and want to repeat, that we must remove the money that goes to training, pre- primary education in the counties, where a lot of focus is put on the teachers, facilities, equipment, books and also the health sector. We must hire the right health workers and buy medicine. We must remove them from the categorization of recurrent expenditure. This is because the tag of recurrent expenditure ... view
