• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, je, Sen. Halake anaruhusiwa kuinama karibu na Seneta wa Laikipia anavyofanya? Huenda akamchanganyisha mpaka akasahau yale ambayo alikuwa akiyasema. view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I second. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of Order, Madam Temporary Speaker. If he would have left it at Sen. Malalah, perhaps it would not be disorderly. But he has expanded it to include Sen. Kajwang’. Is it in order for Sen. Sakaja to insinuate that I could be a victim of domestic violence who is suffering silently? view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 47 (l) to make a Statement on illegal concessions of Lake Victoria to foreign investors for commercial cage aquaculture. As I speak, fishermen in Suba have been holding peaceful demonstrations for the last two weeks to protest against what they call an illegal grabbing of the lake by a foreign investor who has been granted a 315 acre concession, covering both the lake and dry land. Further, the fishermen of Suba are demanding access to their traditional fishing grounds, preservation of fish breeding grounds, as well as reopening of traditional transport ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: output of fish from the lake, it has introduced serious tensions that have already resulted in the loss of one life. The primary objection of the fisher folk in Suba is that public participation was not adequately done for the community to understand the implication of this project. Secondly, the tenure of the concession remains unknown. We cannot tell whether the 216 acres of lake water have been granted perpetually or it is time bound. The County Government of Homa Bay that is supposed to be on the side of the fisher folk has maintained a studious silence, only releasing ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: community and investors, so that we can be assured that this is not another form of partitioning of the lake. We want to know the size of the concession. Is it 315 or 1,000 acres? We want to know the duration of the concession, how much the investor has paid and how much the county has collected in taxes. We want to understand the benefits to the local community and ensure that there is a proper environmental impact assessment. As I speak, there have been increased cases of attacks by wild animals, crocodiles and hippos because they have been driven ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Allow me to support this amendment Bill and laud the Mover of the amendments, Sen. Kasanga, for making this very timely intervention on matters that have been stigmatized and many people have not been given the attention they deserve. Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, the overall objective of this Bill is to ensure that persons with mental illness receive the highest attainable standards of health in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. Many times, when we talk about mental health, we have in our mind the impression of insanity that is called in street lingo and in Nairobi view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: That is a term that has been used on political opponents to paint them as being unfit to hold public office. A lot of stigma has accompanied mental health issues to the extent that when one is admitted to Mathari Mental Hospital in Nairobi, it is considered to be something close to a death sentence. Indeed, we have seen through exposes in the media and reports of committees of this House that the state of the counties premier mental health institutions is one that closely resembles a correctional facility or a prison, for lack of better words. People go in ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: debate on whether political and economic rights and right to representation would mean that you can still run for public office, even when you have been adjudged to be of unsound mind. However, I believe that, that is not the intention of this Amendment Bill. The other very critical component of this Amendment Bill is that persons with mental illnesses shall have the right of access to medical insurance for treatment from public or private health insurance providers. I am not certain whether the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) has expanded its scope of cover to mental illnesses. However, I ... view
