• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: the circumstances that led to the depression, we have to be open enough to accept where we have gone wrong. If, indeed, it is true that those doctors have not been paid their allowances yet this is a Government sponsored program, then we are the ones who are failing and not the Cubans. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Langat, the distinguished Senator for Bomet County, for bringing this Statement. We might be blaming the Cubans yet we are the ones who are not giving them their allowances when they are due. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Senate Minority Leader, I would like to request a Statement on the fight against corruption by the Multi-Agency Team. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Narok County, I would like to welcome the students from Nyeri County to this House. We have been reading a lot from the media about many young people falling into the trap of drugs and some of them are being admitted into hospitals with mental illness. We have been discussing some of these cases in this House. I believe these children might find people who they can discuss some issues with. Being a student in Kenya today is tough, especially with the rampant corruption. Sometimes you might ask yourselves what you ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: went through difficult times during our time. However, they are lucky because they can look upon distinguished Senators from their counties and be advised. Today, you are seated here, but in 2022, you may vote for the leaders of your choice. So, it is wise that they expand their knowledge to understand what the Houses of Parliament – that is the Senate and National Assembly – do in terms of legislation. I wish them well. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the two minutes. I rise to support this Statement on this issue of birth certificates. Last year, without involving this House, the National Assembly amended The Registrations of Persons Act and took it directly to the President for assent. The sole reason they did this was to introduce this issue of NIIMS. I fail to understand where the responsibilities of this country are. If Kenyans who are born in this country cannot even access a birth certificate, what is the point in registering and getting this number, which they have no clue ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: to carry out a census, how are you going to carry a census yet most people have no records of their birth? I would, therefore, request that if there is any committee which is going to be looking at this issue, they should consider working with this new line of operations through the administration to ensure that every child is registered. Otherwise, even this issue of census will not have any meaning in this country. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would not want to go against the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. However, I am a bit concerned on the issue of NIIMS being added into this, yet this Parliament is the one that amended an Act of Parliament – Section 9(a) of the Registrations of Persons Act – and made it by law that every--- view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if this thing is added on to that issue; I think we will be missing the point. This is because if we look at the issue of NIIMS clearly, it is this Parliament that got itself into that problem. Therefore, the issue of birth certificates should be handled differently. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. Do we really give a hoot in hell in this country? No, we do not. We do not care and nature also does not care because every year, we are here talking about the drought and floods. It is about time that this Senate, when we are experiencing these big challenges, tried to make a step ahead. Madam Temporary Speaker, every year, the Government is unprepared to deal with issues of drought. It shocks me, because just in January this year, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) alerted the nation, that there are 23 counties ... view
