• 17 May 2021 in Senate: more important than the health sector to county governments because this is one of the most important functions, leave alone roads. If you build roads and your people are dying, then you are doing nonsense. You are not doing anything of value to your people. If we focus properly on the health sector, 47 governors plus one President would be impeached today. If there is someone who has failed to deliver health services to the people of the Republic of Kenya in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic - and we have reports from the Health Committee – it is ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have read in the report that the Wajir County Government has allocated 22 per cent to the health sector. If we did a study on allocations of funds by counties to the health sector, the Wajir County Government could rank among the best. Having sat in the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC), I have never seen such a high percentage of county allocation to the health function. An allocation of 22 per cent to health is no mean task. Many county governments are allocating 22 per cent in total to development because most of ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: We have seen the Kenya Integrated Health System and Data that highlighted the outcomes of the prenatal and antenatal visits, the outcome on immunization and other indicators of success in the health sector. However, the Governor has not paid workers in the health sector. Strikes are the order of the day. Whenever strikes are the order of the day, it means that the residents of Wajir County cannot get the services that they desire. For all the 47 counties where health workers consistently strike like in Homa Bay, Kisumu and many other counties, I urge them to impeach their governors ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: visited the referral hospital in Homa Bay County over the weekend and was shocked to learn that there are no toilets for outpatient visitors there. I wondered what would happen if there was ever an outbreak of Cholera or other diseases that are spread through human waste. The Homa Bay County Assembly impeached the CECM in charge of health, Prof. Muga. After impeaching him, the County Assembly of Homa Bay told the Governor to take over the health docket. If the Governor of Homa Bay County has failed in the supervision of his CECM in charge of health by failing ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you probably might need to give us guidance on how long we have to contribute because I know there will be a lot of interest from Members and time is ticking. This will also help me to organise my presentation. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Do we have the usual 20 minutes because this is a Motion? view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I intend to take less than that. Having listened to the Governor and his team and read the Report of the Committee, I am still trying to form my thoughts about what has been brought to this House. When this House voted to try this matter through a Committee, we gave the team of 11 men and women, who were not imposed on us, but chosen by our respective coalitions. You do recall that unlike in the past where the Motion for a Committee was brought by the leadership, having gone through Senate Business Committee ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Legal affairs and Human Rights Committee on the Building Bridges Initiative there were a few abstentions. Hon. Junet Mohamed, Hon. Opondo Kaluma and a few others did not sign. However, in this case, all the 11 Members of this Committee signed the Report. When you establish a Committee to investigate the allegations and give them resources, time and the best legal advice, and they come back and tell us that allegations are substantiated, we need to take it seriously. However, this Committee has brought to us what I would call a poisoned chalice. When you want to kill a cow, ... view
