Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this chance to support Sen. Mwaura for requesting this important Statement on stalled construction of the Thogoto Level 4 Hospital. Health facilities all over the country have challenges. It is quite unfortunate, particularly for this case, bearing in mind that there was a budget allocation to the facility and yet very many years down the line it is not complete. This morning I got an opportunity to attend a meeting on population development. I realised one of the major resolution of the Conference that took place in Cairo in 1994 was universal healthcare. Very ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion concerning our police service. These are officers that we always look up to, and they always put their lives on the line for us. The state of affairs in terms of their welfare issues, including housing and salaries, is actually a challenge. Many a time, police officers share houses, something that none of us will accept. To make it worse, those houses are in pathetic conditions. These officers are doing a great job in our country. Whenever we encounter traffic jams on our roads, we normally The electronic version ...

ask, “Do we not have police officers in this area?” Whenever they arrive, we see some sanity on our roads. In addition to that, we face security issues whenever the police officers are not around. Whenever they are around, I sleep well and feel very secure. Police officers have faced a lot of trauma, and it is high time we established counseling and support centers to assist them. If these centers were there, we would be assured of officers of sound mind all the time; and they would go to work every day feeling happy. Madam Temporary Speaker, these officers ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support Sen. Malalah on this Statement. I think it is timely, particularly, because of the fact that we have been having challenges in this country and we have seen the “handshake”, which is already there. If all institutions are balanced, then we would be having better ways of performing jobs. The Committee that will deal with this issue should look into this particular matter in terms of having a legal way to ensure that all institutions adhere to the issue of balancing. Balancing of different ethnic groups will lead to efficiency. ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this time to condole with the two families. First of all, I would like to condole the family of the late hon. Ken Okoth, a very youthful leader. He was able to demonstrate that it does not matter where one comes from. If anyone works hard, their dreams will be valid. He was able to transform Kibra Constituency, especially in terms of education.

To my great Governor the “Iron lady”, I pass my condolences to her family and to the great people of Bomet County. Governor Joyce Laboso has borne this disease for over 28 years and still worked very hard. This is one woman who was able to make friends all over.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is one leader who was able to bring peace in my county in a very miraculous way. Her County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) and Strategic Plan for the county is so great that I am only wishing that the people who remain behind will be able to take it forward. This is because in a short span, she had done very many things in terms of education. There was even a very progressive Universal Health Care (UHC) Programme that she recently launched that is going to take care of the needy people based on her interest. ...
