• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at a past sitting, you allowed me to pass this Statement to the relevant Committee. To avoid wasting the time of the House, just allow me to report that the Committee on Health has already taken action on my Statement on the strike by health workers in Homa Bay County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, they have called the Governor and the workers, and as I speak, the matters that I raised in that Statement have been resolved and the Committee is even planning a visit to Homa Bay County. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with a lot of respect to Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, and also taking into account the precedents and traditions of this House, it is not the duty of the House to sanitize the amendment that has been raised by Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. It is his duty to move his amendment, get it seconded and convince Members. The amendment has not been moved and seconded. There are many of us who have been lining up to contribute to this debate from last week. Could the Senator be asked to move, be seconded and then we can debate? view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise, first all, to congratulate the team that worked on this Report. This team was led by none other than Sen. Fatuma Dullo, a colleague with whom we have sat in the same Committee in the past. I do recall at some point she was leading a Select Committee that was investigating reforms in the prisons and borstal institutions. I was her able Vice-Chair and I know her work ethics. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt that she applied the same level of diligence and rigour in coming up with this Report. This is the first time that we have had an Ad Hoc Committee that has run for one full year. If you read this Report carefully, you will notice that the Motion to establish the Ad Hoc Committee was carried out in September, 2019, and we are in September, 2020. This Committee has had more than 365 days to come up with a Report. That is the reason they have 365-page Report. They have been doing one ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that applies to the next speaker and not to the one on the Floor. That has been the tradition in this House. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a dress that fits Sen. M. Kajwang’ definitely, cannot fit Sen. Cherargei. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to be guided whether I am back to the six minutes or to my original 20 minutes. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me focus on what ought to have been done. This is an example of a situation where the solution is a problem. We had a problem in healthcare but the solution we put in became a bigger a problem than the problem it was supposed to cure. There are certain institutional responsibilities we cannot run away from. The Council of Governors (CoG), there are governors who have kept equipment in boxes in the counties for the last five years which is criminal. How would you keep equipment in a box in a corner in your county ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: In some cases, we were told there was no electricity and housing for the equipment, surely, for five years? If life gives you lemon, make lemonade out of it. I want to support the Committee where they have said that Governors who did not implement or install the machinery of the equipment should bear some fiduciary responsibility and culpability. They paid for the equipment and yet their counties were not getting any service or value for money. Perhaps one of the reasons why many Members have a problem with the last chapter of the Report is that the issues are ... view
