• 8 May 2024 in Senate: matters and we have not agreed on two. The two matters that you have not agreed on are the ones that you are mandated by the court for you to agree. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am going to ask simple questions and this is a question that we must all ponder. Do we feel great when our people are dying in hospitals? I can say 80 per cent of all the hospitals in this country are closed now. People go to the hospitals and they lose their patients. These are small things, which could be resolved just because of this ... view
• 8 May 2024 in Senate: This is the biggest problem of having someone leading that docket and she has no clue about what doctors go through. Incompetency of the highest order. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a matter that should pain all of us. We are here to defend the interests of our people. We should not defend any individual interest. We defend the interests of all the Kenyans. The truth of the matter is that right now, the people who are in the Ministry of Health have become overnight billionaires. Why? This is because there is a lot of money in the Ministry of ... view
• 8 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am guided. It is not that we have not pondered on that. We keep on saying that we let them deal with the first issue that they are dealing with, which is the fake fertilizers, then now we will come back and deal with the other ones to save human lives. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you sit there, the people Kilifi are also saying we elevated a speaker from Kilifi to the country.

• 8 May 2024 in Senate: Some of us keep on saying that we rely on the equalization fund when we stand here because of the all the issues of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. However, because someone is the Chair of Finance and Budget Committee, he decides to give Kshs1.5 billion to roads in his own constituency. Shame on him. That is ridiculous. That is why we are missing the point here. We need to realign our own existing resources. Yesterday I saw governors and the President going to collect Kshs344 million from the World Bank. By doing this, we are causing problems for the ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.97(3), I beg to surrender seven minutes to Sen. M. Kajwang’ and Sen. Faki to make certain amendments to the Motion. view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Bill by my good friend, Sen. Ogola. I have perused through the Bill. Though I am particularly impressed with the thought in terms of policy and responsibilities, one thing that we forget - and this is what I mentioned to Sen. Ogola - is that in this country today, our doctors are on strike and we are here legislating to care for those children. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hypothetically, suppose there is a child out there who needs what we are proposing here, but cannot be given because we ... view

• 7 May 2024 in Senate: (b) health services that ensure child survival growth and development including optimal child nutrition, childhood vaccination, growth promotion and monitoring, developmental promotion monitoring and child protection services;” I persuade her to allow us to amend that Clause, to make sure that the new born child is attached to the mother’s insurance policy until they are one year old. I am happy to see that the Bill takes into consideration different cultures and backgrounds. That is very good because we shall never forget that we come from somewhere. In Maasai culture, when the child is born and the umbilical cord is ... view
