• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I respond to the issue, I, first, want to apologise to the Senator for taking a long time to respond to a matter that has been on the Floor of the House for quite some time. But we know that these Statements do not come from the Committees, they come from the Ministries. We have not received that Statement from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning.

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the leader of the few in the House in order to mislead this House that those elections that were upheld even by the Supreme Court are still in dispute? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the debating Senator in order, considering that when we were in the university, some of us who went to the science colleges will tell you that doctors actually spent more time in school and have even a tougher programme? Is he in order to actually say that they are not qualified? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I would not want to support this Motion but I would urge that the drafter or the Mover of the Motion to bring amendments on the Floor of this House. It needs also to be made clear who we are urging; is it the national Government or the county government? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would also want to shy away from doing a condemnation on all medical practitioners because we need to really interrogate what the circumstances are because it is not all of them. This is what we call in statistics outliers because there are few who are negligent. I do not want to go the route of the Senator of Tana River by equating that everybody who is negligence is not well-trained. We need to be fair to our doctors. Someone else had asked for these statistics because when we talk of the police force in this country, ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: I also know that death is an untimely event and a mysterious thing. It is only natural that we hold on to life of ourselves and of our dear people. I would not want to go the way of condemning every death because we all have appointment with death. I want to be a bit fair to our medical practitioners because not all deaths are caused by negligence but at the same time, the few cases we have heard is because there is more awareness and the cases are now being brought forward more than previously. We should not condemn ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: This board needs to be devolved. I know health is a devolved function and when I look at this complaints board, I would shy away from establishing a parallel body at the county because it will mean that we have several centres that would be in contravention to what is going on already. I know that most cases go unreported because people do not know exactly where to go and secondly, the bureaucratic process of making a complaint to this board is also discouraging. If at all they sit once after three months, it means that the 40 million people ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: I hope that the person who will move the amendments will address some of these issues so that we do not create two parallel and contradictory bodies. view
