• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need some direction. The distinguished Senator for Lamu County made a request for a Statement. Ordinarily and procedurally, any Member who wishes to latch on that Statement asks additional or supplementary questions about the Statement. The distinguished nominated Senator is actually debating the Statement instead of asking questions that may increase the value of the Statement that is requested. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Health for bringing this important Statement. Every year, the United Nations (UN) dedicates its programme to one of the non-communicable diseases. Kidney problem is one of the non-communicable diseases that afflict many people in the world. Kidney complications come from various causes including poor environment, inadequate clean water and so on and so forth. As the Chairperson has said, many patients suffer from kidney failure because of late diagnosis. The Chairperson could in future engage the Ministry and the county governments to ensure that there are adequate facilities for ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: They are holding a Mt. Kenya Parliament in the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the bulk of the budget of health is still unconstitutionally retained at the national Government when the function is 95 per cent devolved. The Committee may also wish to engage the national Government to see that they loosen their stranglehold on the health budget, so that counties can also spend sufficient resources in helping wananchi. More importantly, committees like particularly the one headed by the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay must also make sure there is proper accountability in the spending of the money that goes to ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank the Committee on Roads and Transportation for the good work that they have done. I raised a question in this House on Tuesday 2nd November, 2019 about the state of the international border crossing at Malaba. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Malaba Border Point is classified as the busiest border crossing in Africa, carrying traffic from the Port of Mombasa, Nairobi and the Kenyan industrial set up to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan, Central African Republic, Northern Zambia and sometimes the northern part of Tanzania, in the areas of Bukoba around Lake Victoria. view
• 12 Mar 2020 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
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: The border point is a busy moneymaker for the country. Unfortunately, it has suffered such serious neglect that it prompts me to bring a question here. Ordinarily, my distinguished colleague from Busia, Sen. Amos Wako, the retired Attorney-General, would have been the one to bring the question. I consulted with him because Malaba Border Point is within his jurisdiction of representation. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: I thank the County Government of Busia because when we visited the site, Gov. Ojaamong sent his County Executive Committee (CEC) Member and senior officers from his office to join the Committee of the Senate. Equally present were senior Government officers concerned with the work of the Government at the border, Customs, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), Department for Immigration, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), police and others. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as Sen. Wambua and Sen. Wamatangi have graphically described, this is a terrible indictment to our Government. The Committee walked across the border to the Ugandan side. This is a one-stop border point where goods from Uganda coming into Kenya, once cleared on the Ugandan side, do not stop in Kenya and vice versa . view
• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: You will be surprised to learn that on the Ugandan side, there is no single queue of tracks waiting to enter Kenya. They are efficiently cleared, infrastructure is in place; they cross the border and are not checked on the Kenyan side because they participate in checking on the Ugandan side. If the trucks are going to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Congo, those in Uganda will participate in checking on the Kenyan side. However, on the Kenyan side, it is an eyesore. Last week, the queue from the border point was standing at 20 kilometers. These are trucks that sometimes ... view
