• 17 May 2021 in Senate: COVID-19 funds. It is this House that looked at the Managed Equipment Scheme and failed to get a resolution on the scheme. Today, we have said that this Governor should go home, and so far, we have the Report of the Committee. This is a default position that the Governor should go home because the renal units supplied to him through an opaque process called the Managed Equipment Scheme were not working. How many counties have failed to use their renal and dialysis units? Their Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are not working for reasons as small as electricity and the ... 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: impeaching the Governor of Wajir County because his health workers are going on strike. If this House establishes that is impeachable, Then I would like to see the other 46 county governors coming to this House to be impeached if we are using the same standard. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I read in the report that out of the 50 doctors employed in Wajir County, 20 of them are away on study leave. We, Members of Parliament, receive calls from health workers every other day asking us to intervene for them to be allowed to go on study leave in cases ... view

• 17 May 2021 in Senate: 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 to push him to ensure that there is quality in that department, how else are you going to tell the Governor to take over that function if he has already abdicated his duty in the first place? If or when we impeach the Governor of Wajir ... view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Mine is so obvious. On behalf of Homa Bay County, I vote yes. view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I have just been reminded that I should put on my mask. This means that it would be negligent of me to proceed to this important subject without sparing a minute to consider the thousands of Kenyans who have died as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. When we came for this special sitting, there was hope from Kenyans who are uncertain around vaccinations, supply chain for medication and the plight of frontline workers, that we would find some time to talk about the greatest pandemic ... view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: the Tanzanian head of State. As important as these are, I hope that the Leadership of this House will call a special sitting so that we look at the Covid-19 situation in the country. As I support the Constitutional of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, I also take note of the proposals that were given by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committees of both the Senate and the National Assembly. I thank the Co-Chairperson of the Committee, Sen. Omogeni, the co-Chair from the National Assembly and Members of the Senate who sat in that Committee. Since that debate came to this ... view
