• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, the average cost for a single testing strip is KShs50, which translates to approximately KShs200 a day, without considering drugs, insulin, meals and hospital fees. To curb all these problems, we must put our minds and efforts together so as to raise a healthy and prosperous nation. I wish Universal Health Coverage (UHC), an integral part of the country's efforts geared towards attainment of the desired status of health as elaborated in the Kenya Health Policy (KHP), would be implemented and expanded to cater for more diseases besides the common cold, flu and malaria. It would ensure ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources concerning the implementation of the national land use policy in the counties.

• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me join you in welcoming the students from Kabiro School, Nairobi City County. I encourage them to go back after this session in this House and work hard. I wish to tell them that the Senate is a House of order. This is where we make laws that govern various institutions in this country. Looking at this House, you realise that we have Members of both gender, meaning that if you work hard, your dreams will always be valid, and at one time, you may be in this House as well. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: You have very strong leaders in your county. One of them is Sen. Sakaja, who is my Chairperson in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, a Committee that is working very hard and solving a lot of labour issues. We also have Sen. Omanga, Sen. Kwamboka, Sen. Mugo and very many other leaders. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: I encourage you to work hard, be disciplined, focused and shine in school. Come the future, you will go very far. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving this opportunity. I would like to congratulate Sen. Kihika for representing Kenya and Africa in the IPU well. The position that is held by Sen. Kihika in the IPU was highly contested but she emerged the winner. I am happy that she has performed her roles well in that position. In supporting her Statement, I would like to state that gender equality is a human rights issue. However, there are many gaps existing that can enable women get to the decision making table. Although currently women hold 40 per cent of position ... view

• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement that will come to my Committee. This is a very important Statement, bearing in mind that in the just conducted census, the youth are well over 65 per cent of the population. These centers will serve as areas to engage our youth and prevent them from engaging in various activities that would otherwise affect them. Very many of our youth engage in drug and substance abuse. Others have been lured into joining illegal groups such as Al Shabaab and many others. Others engage in thuggery and other bad activities. ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving this chance to also support this Bill. I thank Sen. Farhiya for thinking through and coming up with such a wonderful Bill that will go a long way to speak to issues of illegal acquisition of wealth. This Bill has come at the right time because in 2018, if I am not wrong, the President of this country declared that everyone has to undergo a lifestyle audit. Many people felt that there was some witch-hunt. Others felt that “their people” were being targeted while others felt that they were the only ones being ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is the first time that we have a legal framework that will guide in terms of process. It is also directing on issues of professionalism. Without professionalism, this can be prone to abuse where even those who go out to purport to be looking at lifestyle audit may end up conducting some other activities. In this case, the activities may affect officers who are being audited in the wrong way. view
