• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you--- view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for saving me from that situation. I will not speak Swahili, but will speak English as usual. I stand to support this Statement and I appreciate my colleague, the Senator of Mombasa for bringing it here. It is true that we are a devolved government and we need to embrace devolution. It is important that we embrace devolution. Embracing devolution demands that we tell our partners globally, that Kenya has taken a lead in matters of devolution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should embrace devolution by proposing the construction of the headquarters of the ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Halake. It is true that when prisoners are detained, they undergo corrective measures in their respective prisons. However, as much as we say that we should give them certificates of good conduct after a period of time, we need to remember that immediately some of them come out of prison, they commit murders which make them to return to those prisons. Therefore, I agree that when prisoners come out, they should be given a document that shows how they have behaved while in ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We should assess our prisoners who come back to the community before awarding them the certificate of good conduct that will enable them to continue with their lives. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have an intervention. I appreciate what my colleague has said. His work plan is good but when he comes to Kakamega, he should remember that we are also there in as much as Sen. Malalah is the leader of the delegation. Can he incorporate us in order for us to know what is going on in our counties? view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Thank you very much, Sen. Sakaja, for good leadership in your Committee. In fact, it is admirable how you are leading your Committee, and you are doing some good work. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you look at the organisation and the way that Sen. Sakaja relates to his team, where he even mentions their names, it gives the team morale. I urge him and his team that security is a very important matter in the country, currently and even before. Therefore, when you will be looking at this issue, put in mind the two issues ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support Sen. Nyamunga’s Statement on Sen. Halake’s election. We were sworn together with Sen. Halake in the Senate. However, the strides that she is making, not only in the Senate but the country at large, are admirable. That is why the world has seen the flowers in her basket and awarded her what she deserves. I congratulate her. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when women are considered in such a position, we feel like we have a meaning, an impact and stand for our people. The CMD-Kenya is a forum that ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will keep it brief. I stand to support the Statement by Sen. Malalah. It is absurd that even when health is devolved, we are still experiencing these challenges. I will speak about Kakamega County, where I come from, have grown up and received services from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are deplorable conditions in health facilities, especially Malava Sub-County Hospital, where I was. As the Senate, our work is to prevent, protect and pass legislation. If you look at the state in which Malava Sub-County Hospital and others that my colleague has mentioned, you cannot dare to ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for my fellow Nominated Senator from Nairobi City County to say that I have defended the Governor of Kakamega? Did you hear what I said? I said that Gov. Oparanya has come up with ‘Oparanya Care.’ As much as he is doing his work, there are people in the executive who are letting him down. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement raised by Sen. Khaniri concerning the legendary footballer called Joe Kadenge. It is sad for me to stand here and talk about an icon that Kenya has lost. As my colleagues have said, when I first heard about Joe Kadenge, I thought it was a plate or something like that but I was told it is a person. Those days we only used to have one media house called the Voice of Kenya (VoK). Whenever Joe Kadenge’s name was mentioned, everybody kept quiet. Others played while ... view
