• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: We visited Longisa Sub-County Hospital and Bomet Referral Hospital. We also had opportunity to visit Nyamira Level 4 and Level 5 facilities together with the Kisii Referral Hospital and a number of Level 4 facilities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, to our surprise in the course of our inspection, we came across patients who had been diagnosed with TB but lacked the necessary drugs. In some cases, the cartridges for testing TB were not available. The Standing Committee on Health had the opportunity to interview the family of Baby Yassin; whose fingers were amputated at Kirinyaga Referral Hospital. Mr. Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 15 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not have wished to interrupt the senior colleague. He knows I have tremendous respect for him. As per Standing Order No.105, is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Oburu to say the Government sent the police to kill people? If this is so, can he provide evidence of a command? view

• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by the Hon. Member of the Country Assembly of Narok, but with amendments. First, it is not only lawyers who are qualified. During the Constitution-making process, a number of institutions and organizations put themselves in the Constitution and restricted some opportunities to themselves. The minimum qualifications for a Speaker, in my view, should be a degree. I do not have a problem with any leader being elected. However, for those who are going to assume positions of responsibility like the Speaker, the minimum qualification should be a degree. Mr. ... view

• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a problem with the gadgets in this House because it is letting us down. If you press a button, you will wait here and keep coming to this Senate, yet you will not get the opportunity to contribute to any business of the House. The Senate should do something about it. I wanted to comment on the Buxton Report and I pressed the button, but I do not know what is happening. I am disappointed because it is a very serious matter. view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for appearing and answering these questions. My concern is on the response the Cabinet Secretary has given, particularly in rehabilitative services and assistive technology for PwDs. My question to the CS and Ministry is: We know that before you can successfully help PwDs, the first thing that needs to happen is a proper assessment, so that the assistive devices that are given are then appropriate. I would like to know the position of the Ministry regarding establishing proper assessment centres in this country. I am aware that the only assessment ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have heard the response of the Cabinet Secretary on the issue of Kakamega Hospital on delineation of function. My question to the Cabinet Secretary is, why is the Ministry building a maternity facility in Ekerenyo Sub-County, which is also a devolved function? We want to know if there is clear delineation of functions, why is the Ministry performing functions that are supposed to be performed by the County Government of Nyamira? view
