• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want from the outset to congratulate the Senator of Vihiga County for having thought about this very important Statement. This Statement does not just address Vihiga County, but also many other counties are facing the same problem. I wish the Senator could have done two Statements on the same, so that they can be addressed properly by two Committees. What I see here is an issue with the budget, how much money was allocated to this programme and also the issue of designs. How was this drainage design done? Was it done properly? Was it well ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thought I should first raise my concerns so that Sen. Haji can take note on behalf of his Chairperson. Although it is a period of campaigns for our colleagues, I have a lot of respect for the Chairperson and Members of the Committee on Energy. This is because I was at one time the Vice-Chairperson of this Committee. So, I have a lot of respect for them. However, the Committee on Energy should address the rising prices of fuel. Many Kenyans will park their cars in their homes and will be unable to travel ... view
• 10 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the chance to contribute to this important Bill. From the onset, I wish to state that this is an important and timely Bill. It is one of the Bills that I wish this House can pass before the next Senate. A clean and healthy environment is a constitutional right. Article 42 of the Constitution states that every citizen has the right to a clean environment. There is no infrastructure and system put in place in our counties to ensure that citizens are free from air pollution and environmental hazards. This Bill ... view
• 10 May 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, when this Bill is passed, it will address the issues that I have highlighted. Of interest is the provision that will enable county governments to do financial allocation and give incentives to companies and institutions that are doing garbage collection and management of waste. Another interesting provision in this Bill is creating a monitoring, compliance and enforcement law in the Bill. The county governments and institutions like the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA); the authority in-charge of waste management, will have infrastructure for monitoring and compliance. This Bill is timely. I urge the House to pass it ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to salute my colleague, Sen. Kasanga, for the effort she has put in this field and the commitment to make sure that by the time we leave this House, we will have a legal framework on how to handle mental health. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: I wish that when this Bill is assented to by the President, Sen. Kasanga will have another chance to serve in this House, so that if we will have the Implementation Committee in this House, it will ensure that the Act is implemented. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a timely Bill. It is an important Bill not only to our county governments, but this Bill will ensure improvement of the infrastructure in our counties and also in Level 5 hospitals, so as to handle issues related to mental health. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: At times, you wonder why we have only one mental hospital. Why do we have to take patients from all corners of this country to Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital? Why do we have to torture patients who are already in need of some kind of attention by bringing them all the way from their counties to one hospital that is not even equipped to attend to them? view
