• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: messages I receive about the potential of my own County of Narok when it comes to minerals are overwhelming. I receive text messages about the potentials of where my good friend, the Vice Chair of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), comes from. The potential of Taita-Taveta and Kwale in terms of the mining sector is enough to help us leapfrog. There is this current debate where America is talking about America first and Germany is talking about Germany first. They are saying that if you are a foreigner, you should ship off and go back to your country. It ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the now current Chair of the AU is talking of “They came with all these, but we came with God” instead of advancing together as one since the elections are over. What would one conclude? In my conclusion, our differences in terms of cultural upbringing will never help us to see as that as diversity but will always sow differences among us. In this world, there are people who give advice differently. Some will tell you that if a certain finger is longer than their index finger, then it means they are rich. They will always ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: National Assembly will make a difference for once. I want to congratulate his Excellency Raila Amollo Odinga once again for the spirited effort. Lastly, I wish I had more time. Let me take 30 seconds to condole with the family of our departed brother, William Cheptumo. This is a gentleman who I knew very well. I admired his dedication to the rule of law. I admired his reasoning when it comes to argument that has to do with the Constitution. He will be missed. I want to tell the family that we are together and we will forever pray with ... view
• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the Senate Majority Whip is trying to communicate is that we had a way forward and we discussed, so that we do not have to reinvent the wheel and vote 10 times. Before the Committee looks at this, we can decide whether the two sides can appoint other Members to work together with the Committee, so that this issue of the revenue formula is dealt with, instead of leaving that work to be done by the committee alone. I think that is the message he was trying to convey because we agreed on the way ... view
• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will read the Statements on behalf of Sen. Hamida Kibwana. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the tragic death by suicide of Francis Njuki, a medical intern at Thika Level 5 Hospital on November, 2024. This incident came just two months after the death of Dr. Desree Moraa, who until her death by suicide was a medical intern at Gatundu Level 5 Hospital in Kiambu County. This highlights the urgent need to address rising mental health concerns and toxic work ... view
• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to comment on two statements. One, the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Mombasa County, Sen. Faki. This Senate has one critical function which is to defend our counties and their view

• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: interests. This picture which has been displayed here by Sen. Faki about the health facilities in Mombasa, is the same across the country. It is imperative that we become serious in pushing for these county governments to at least just focus on delivering one service; health care. As I comment on this statement because of my short time, I will be remiss not to comment on the Statement by Sen. Kibwana on the MES. In the last Parliament, we had a huge scandal on the MES. All this equipment is being leased, yet the hospitals have got no drugs. The ... view
