• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: I strongly recommend that TARDA and Tana Water Works Development Agencies should work together to ensure that they develop and rehabilitate that River as well as see what they can do with the Mathenge plant. They should also ensure that they divert water for drinking, livestock and irrigation. That water is a lot and is enough for all activities right from the upper side of the river to the lowest side. It is one of the gifts of a river that we have in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that my time is running out and there ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to join Sen. Mungatana in thanking Members of Parliament for passing this list. I would like to thank the coalitions and political parties for nominating us to this position. In the year 2004, I was in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) when the PAP was started. We had joined a delegation that was led by our own Member, Hon. Kangwana, to go and express our support as EALA. When we went there, the voice of Kenya was required as far as nominations to Committees and the ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is nice to contribute after a medical doctor who delivers his own twins. Congratulations. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion on the Promotion of Mental Health Facilities for Mothers. I congratulate Sen. Kibwana for her first Motion that is extremely important. In the last Senate, we discussed mental health in a Bill that was driven by Sen. Kasanga very successfully. However, this one has “teased” out just a little of the sector concerning the women. This Motion is extremely important because mothers raise nations, presidents, kings, engineers and teachers. When mothers lose their children, often times, they are left wondering what could have become of the child they lost. They ... view

• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: When we lose grown-ups, the mourning is done by very many people. It, therefore, becomes lighter. The family would be there. However, when a mother loses a baby, she is alone, maybe with the husband and the other children. It is not something that attracts a crowd. Such mothers carry the burden for a very long time. That is why they easily slide into this post-partum depression. It is a very common thing but it is something that has been ignored for many years. That is why I appreciate Sen. Kibwana for coming up with this Motion. Sometimes nobody even ... view

• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: and only three beds in the maternity wing. It does not help us and does not move us forward. I am delighted that Sen. Kibwana quickly brought this forward so that we use it as the first dialogue between ourselves and our Council of Governors (CoG). I wish the Committee on Health can pick on this one and discuss it further. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said it can be developed into law at a certain point. It is time we discussed other things including maternity leave and how long it should be. Mothers are not giving birth to children just for ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we present to you, Sen. Crystal Kegehi Asige. The Oath of Allegiance was administered to the following Senator- Sen. Crystal Asige. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I go by what the Senator for Turkana County said, that right is right and wrong is wrong. It is very important for us to determine what is right and what is wrong. For that reason, I was very concerned during this debate when we were informed that a letter went to the Clerk and it has not reached the Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had hoped that you would tell us if you got that letter. I want to appeal that even as we come tomorrow; we are very ... view
