• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: I would like to see people being represented properly on the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Board. I would have liked to even see a representative of the MCAs on the board. The MCAs interact with the ordinary people on a daily basis. The Members of this House can bear me witness that when we are in the villages, out of every 10 people who visit us, four or five have health problems, another three or four have education problems while one could have a problem with the police officers. Health is a serious issue. Every single harambee that we ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President told us that the economy has grown by leaps and bounds. However, the growth must be reflected in social engineering and changing the lives of Kenyans by giving them clean water, better health care, better roads and everything else. Above all, even a person who does not travel on our roads, falls sick. A person who has not gone to school falls sick. Even a person who does not work, falls sick. The poor of the poor also fall sick. That is the ring-fence that we want this Bill to create. If this Bill ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Yes! view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute in support of this Petition by one Mr. Daniel Waturu from Laikipia County. Article 34 of the Constitution provides: “The media shall enjoy freedom and that Broadcasting and other electronic media have freedom of establishment, subject only to licensing procedures that- (a) are necessary to regulate the airwaves and other forms of signal distribution; and (b) are independent of control by Government, political interests or commercial interests. The State shall not- (a) exercise control over or interfere with any person engaged in broadcasting, the production or circulation of any publication ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: The Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) is the regulator and, fortunately, one of the Chairmen of CAK is an immediate former Senator and the CEO is an immediate former CEO of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). I hope they are listening. Community radios have become a critical tool in the management of community affairs in matters of security, mobilization of resources, mobilization of social welfare groups and so on. In fact, when our Committee of National Security and Foreign Relations visited Laikipia County, one of the things we learnt is that there are local FM stations that make ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: This Petition is not the only one of its kind. In fact, when you listen to FM stations and for this, the Committee on ICT must call CAK to order because you can be listening to an FM station and out of the blues another FM station jams in so you start listening to very jumbled and muffled voices that you cannot quite tell what is being broadcast. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are listening to music on one FM station and music from another bashes in and distorts everything you are listening to. The CAK must take stock of how many radio stations, whether local or national, vernacular or using national view
• 18 Nov 2021 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
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: languages have been licensed and how many frequencies have been given to individuals. We also know some individuals who have taken more frequencies than they need, in order to block others from accessing these frequencies. This is the duty of CAK. If they did their work well, there should not be any case in this country where no area can access radio broadcasting. You remember in the old days when we had only one station called Voice of Kenya. In fact, when we were at the university we used to joke that it was called the ‘Noise of Kenya’. Voice ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Our standing orders prohibit Members from standing on frivolous points of order or giving information and guising it as a point of order. Are you satisfied that the distinguished Senator for Laikipia was on a point of order? He was pursuing his own adventure that is far from a point of order. view
