• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me start by saying that that I did not say--- view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have never doubted the Kenyaness of Sen. Poghisio. It is only that someone raised some doubts 34 years ago. I want to tell Sen. Madzayo to remind himself that 34 years ago, Sen. Poghisio was in this Chamber. He was unceremoniously removed from this Chamber 34 years ago, so it is not a joke when I say that he understands the problems. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: The truth is that the Pokots, who are pastoralists, do not know international boundaries. They only know that they have relatives on the other side in Uganda and on the part of Kenya. Just because of that, they are denied their right to receive documentation as the rightful people of Kenya. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am perfectly in order to question the commitment of the Senators nominated to represent the youth in this House in defending youth issues. Giving an ID is a very important youth issue, but most of them are focusing on reggae more than the business that they were brought here for. Anyway, that is a matter for another day. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Let me conclude by saying that we need to ensure that we translate what we have debated here to law. We draft a law that makes it mandatory for registration. In any case, Article 6 of the Constitution talks about devolution of all functions of national Government, both at the national and county level. Why can we not ensure that registration of person is devolved to the constituency level, which are sub-counties now? There are some constituencies that have more than view

• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: one sub-county. We can have these sub-counties become the center for registration, give them resources at that point in time, and make sure that leaders can hold the sub-county coordinators for registration to account. Why do we not draft this law, deal with it and issue whatever we are able to do to ensure that we do not have a problem in future where some parts of the country are given IDs depending on the wishes of those who have controlled state resources at any particular time. I beg to support. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Bill for us to discuss this afternoon. This is a subject that I am very much familiar with, having been part and parcel of the discussion around the establishment of the institution of devolution. In fact, if there is a function that is devolved in this country, it is health. This function is part of the Bill of Rights. Article 43 of the Constitution makes it clear that every Kenyan has a right to good health. The right to health is enshrined in our Constitution in the Bill of Rights ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: I did a Paper which I presented before the then Minister of Health, Prof. Anyang’- Nyong’o who later became the Senator of Kisumu and is currently a governor. That Paper is widely cited. I do not want to praise myself but it is one of the most widely cited Papers within the health sector. This is because at that point in time most of the health workers who were represented in that meeting were pushing for the health service commission which was then in a draft Health Bill that was supposed to be presented in this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, ... view
