• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply and beg to invoke Standing Order No.66 (3) to defer putting of the question. view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to proudly support this Bill by Sen. Beatrice Ogola. For the record, this is a third Bill that has been sponsored by a Member of the Homa Bay delegation in this Thirteenth Parliament. view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Sen. Beatrice Ogola has brought the Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Bill. I brought the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Bill as well as the County Boundaries Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will realise that Bills sponsored by our female colleagues touch on core socio-economic issues in this Republic. That is why this House would be better off with more women and not necessarily more men. If you look at the Bills that I have highlighted - the ones I have sponsored - they are hardware or conflict kind of Bills. This Bill by Sen. Beatrice Ogola touches ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: next to a tarmac or an electricity pole. In the past, it used to be a telephone line. Away from the tarmac, many people are losing children under the age of five. We are talking of 41 out of 1,000 births, but you might find that the number is much higher in certain parts of Northern, Eastern and Southern Kenya. If this Bill is well implemented and has enforceable provisions, it should ensure that children do not die out of preventable reasons. Where I come from, we have the problem of malaria. Many of us suffered repeated bouts of malaria ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: I watched as my younger brother was born one Saturday morning. I was sleeping, but was woken up and told to leave for my mother to give birth on the same bed. The young boy born on that day is a doctor. He was delivered by a woman who did not even go to primary school. There is indigenous knowledge. They are called wakunga in Kiswahili and nyamrerwa in Luo. I am sure in every other culture there are those skilled persons not in the modern sense, but with indigenous knowledge. They know which plant to use when you have ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: gone to school for six years, become an intern, or specialized as a paediatrician, why should we begrudge those people their salary and pay? Advocates are charging Kshs10,000 for a letter because it is regulated by the Advocates Remuneration Order. We have seen Members of this House charging Kshs1 billion for legal services. It is justifiable as long as you are complying with the Act and gone through taxation. We have seen in pending bills of counties of Kshs1 billion owing to legal professionals. We are therefore saying we cannot begrudge advocates their fees. They are professionals and are regulated. ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Sen. Manzo is not a full-time elder. He does not wake up on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to do elder duties. He is a very reputed advocate. He is a businessman. Those are the things that keep him busy, that put money in his pocket, but he comes to the Senate for the love of the people of Makueni and the people of Kenya. However, we have turned it the other way around. We are first Senators and politicians. Then our any other business is being an advocate or a doctor. I think we need to change that. Doctors have ... view
• 7 May 2024 in Senate: do it better because access to high-quality maternal, newborn, and child health services is a constitutional right for all Kenyans. Even in the United States of America (USA), the debate, besides immigration, economy, Israel and China, is now on Roe versus Wade, the decision by the Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. In the 11th Parliament, Sen. Sijeny brought a Bill to this House, which the House rejected. However, the Bill was important because it was talking about reproductive rights and reproductive health. Let us not be afraid to insist on high-quality reproductive health services for our children and ... view
• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill, but with amendments as proposed by the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. One of the most important duties of any Senator is to divide revenue, allocate it and follow up its implementation or utilisation. At this point, allow me to join hundreds and thousands of Kenyans who have been affected by the raging floods, particularly in my home county of Homa Bay. The residents of Sindo Township, one of the most beautiful locations in this country, where the rolling hills of Gwasi and Kak-Sikri come down to meet the ... view
