• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 45(2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Health on the deteriorating medical standards with specific reference to quack doctors and medics. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- 1. Enumerate the statistical figures of registered genuine medical practitioners and quack doctors and medics in Kenya. 2. Explain the action that is taken on quack doctors and medics who are netted in the swoops by the Ministry of Health. 3. Enumerate the number of cases of quack doctors and medics before the courts of law and ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Whereas I appreciate the importance of the matter and knowing the procedures of this House, is it in order for Sen. Billow to ask a totally different Statement from what has been asked? view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am in agreement with Sen. Ongoro. Two weeks is such a long time since it is a crisis. We are in the third term and examinations are expected to be undertaken any time soon. Two weeks is, therefore, really unacceptable. view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for bringing this matter to this House. We may not blame the President the way he acted this time round because it is the law. If you read the County Governments Act on the way dissolution or a suspension is supposed to happen, he was not bound by the law to bring that Report here as it is right now unless we were to go for a suspension or dissolution of the county. We are the first Senate under this Constitution. Therefore, we will be doing this ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Mover of this Bill. Knowing the history of the kind of Bills that Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki brings to Parliament, there is no way that we can fail to support what he has brought on the Floor. He is known for very progressive and revolutionary Bills. The County Industrial Development Bill (Senate Bill No. 7 of 2014) fits that description. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is a pity for us to be importing everything. For example, even toothpicks that we use in our houses are imported from China. We also import many other things ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also join Sen. Murkomen and Sen. Orengo in noting and congratulating President Obama on his visit. We were almost giving up as a country of ever hosting him as a sitting President. It was quite a pleasant visit and historic that we hosted the 44th and first sitting President of America. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that the spirit by which he made his speeches in different places that he went to did not go back with him in Air Force One. He tried The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My concern goes to the Chairperson of the Committee. Whereas he has given the apologies of the mix up, the message was sent at exactly 7.13 a.m. I also received it. My question is: Did they try to gather Members when they got different information because we had serious interests in this matter? Personally, I wanted to ask some very serious questions about some issues. Did they attempt, through the Clerk’s Office, to reach out to Members because I did not see any follow up message after I received the one for ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank Sen. Kanainza for requesting for that Statement. This young lady was one of the active members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Youth League who fought for the liberation of youth in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and my colleagues in thanking the delegation, especially from the leadership of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) and the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA). I wish to thank them for the outreach they have done, especially to the leadership of Parliament as we deal with 27th August, 2015 deadline, concerning achieving the one- third gender rule. I hope that from the discussion we have had, we will have a way forward regarding dealing with this problem. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion by Sen. Karue. In fact, when I saw this Motion on the Order Paper, I remembered that when we joined this Senate, the first thing that Sen. Karue was agitating for was the headquarters of Nyandarua County. This is because they were starting from nowhere. I have also visited where they are operating from and know that they started from a point of disadvantage compared to other counties. They did not inherit any infrastructure. I think the same case applies to Tharaka-Nithi County. It is unfortunate that we ... view
