• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also accessibility of the critical care which is also improved under Lot 6, the ICU is working. As my colleagues said, the ones which are not working, it is up to the county governments to operationalize them. We went to Elgeyo- Marakwet County, for example, and three years down the line, the county Government has not put a three-phase power line in place.

• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Some of these things we need not to blame the contractors. Even in terms of pricing, it is a willing buyer, willing seller. If the Government decided to buy whatever they bought at whatever prices, it is the Ministry. It is not up to the contractor to determine the price.

• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First, I want to applaud the 14th Chief Justice of Kenya, Hon. David Kenani Maraga, for his advisory to the President. It is in order. Lawyers in this Chamber and colleagues are using a lot of jargon. The Constitution is very clear.

• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am most obliged. I have heard colleagues use a lot of skepticism, saying that the 2010 Constitution was hurriedly passed. You know that the journey of the new Constitution started way long ago, from 1997 to 2000. In 2005, we went to a referendum where we did not pass the Constitution. In 2009, the new Constitution was passed. It was overwhelmingly voted for. It was six million people who voted for it and two million people voted against. For colleagues to claim that the Constitution was hurriedly passed, is not true. Mr. Temporary ... view
