• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support that Implementation Committee was important at the beginning of this Senate. When the Standing Orders are reviewed, I pray that those who will be in this Senate, because I am vying and if elected I will go the other House--- If we have an Implementation Committee in place, rest assured that all the queries will be replied to or responses will be availed. They will follow up and ensure that any recommendations by a committee or the House are implemented. Without having Implementation Committee in place, we have missed a lot because we ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Statement by Sen. Olekina on the management of the petroleum sector especially concerning the price of fuel in Kenya. I totally agree with Sen. Olekina’s sentiments in the Statement. Like other Kenyans, I am also a concerned citizen because the price of fuel, which was increased just the other day, has been increased again. I do not know why the Government and the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum have closed circuit and is not opening up to tell us what is really happening. We have an ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Please, control the price of fuel because we need these vehicles on the road. Our mothers at home need to make sure they have their commodities, especially kerosene in their lamps. Everything needs to go down because you have promised us good and we know we shall get good out of all this, fuel being just part of--- view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Petition concerning the leadership wrangles and management in the department of health in Uasin Gishu County. It is not only in Uasin Gishu County, this problem is across the country, especially after health was devolved. I got the opportunity to work in the Ministry of Health before I joined the Senate. When health was being controlled from the Ministry headquarters, things were better. We thought they would be much better when health was devolved. It seems with small “kings” and “kingdoms” in the counties, people are misusing ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: We got a boost from the national Government when we had the COVID-19 pandemic. Many county governments tried the much they could. County governments took measures and even tried to equip Intensive Care Units (ICUs). You could see there were problems and we still have them. The Uasin Gishu County Health Department needs to up its game. The management of the county does not even consider the qualifications, or experience of the people they appoint to head the various sections. I agree that we are also experiencing this in the political world, but people need to go. We need to ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, am wondering why I am not being seen on the screen and yet these are my last days here. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: I am back on the screens now. That means someone was dozing somewhere because I have never seen this happen. I will go back. My minutes will be added. I will start again. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was not seeing anything. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will not begin again because I know the HANSARD has captured what I have said. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Unskilled people in the name of the County Executive Committee Members (CECM) and officials from the Ministry of Health are running the health departments in the country. Someone picks a relative who may be a mechanical engineer, or a driver and tells him or her to head the health department. How do you head a technical or skilled department when you do not have the necessary skills? This is what is happening. That is why we have many cases of hiring and firing at will in the county governments. That is why you see many cases of corruption in the ... view
