• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know if you remember the late Prof. Kasili, who was one the most distinguished brains, and the pioneer consultant on cancer. He wrote many papers and was recognized worldwide. However, after sometime, he succumbed to the cancer he was researching on, and died. When one looks around at the number of people we are losing from cancer complications, it is alarming. We are now all mourning about our colleagues, hon. Okoth and Governor (Dr.) Loboso, and others. How many unknown Kenyans are we hearing about and mourning? There are so many, and they ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we must help this country, we should not stand up and make beautiful speeches because we have lost people at our level. We must look at the ordinary people. What are those children who live around Dandora dumpsite inhaling? Those people who live along the polluted rivers, what are they inhaling? The late hon. Michuki came to Nairobi and, in five months, cleaned Nairobi River to a level where one could drink water from what was previously sludge. It can be done. In this country, people do not go to public offices to serve, ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. it is the Hippocratic Oath; they take the Hippocratic Oath. However, the way you see them conducting themselves, one starts thinking they took an oath of hypocrisy. How does a trained doctor, as our brother here, having taken an oath to save lives, let people die at his reception because they cannot pay his consultation fees? You prescribe and give people expired drugs and inject them with distilled water, pretending that it is medicine. This happens! These are all a combination of things that one can sum up as a decay or death of the society ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: money for his great, great grandchildren through fraud. When they struck him, the man just came down like a pyramid of cards; he closed his practice and sold everything. The other day, I met him in Kisumu, talking to himself on the streets. Haramu hailali. We must, therefore, pray for God to descend on his society and strike such dishonest people out of our way so that this country can be a better place to live in. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we look at China, with 1.3 billion people; and India with 1.2 billion, how come cancer is not ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, how come Africa is different? How come cancer is not ravaging countries such Indonesia with 300 million poor people? We need answers to these questions. What has descended on Africa? We do not hear of serious cancer cases in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Morroco and Algeria. Why black Africa? Has somebody unleashed a bungled laboratory test on us? At one time, we were told that HIV/AIDS was a result of chemical weapons gone bad that were unleashed on people. However, nobody talks about HIV/AIDS anymore. People just do things their way. However, as we speak about cancer, ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: elections, we elect 47 Governors, who are all poor and ordinary people. However, after five years, you have increased the number of billionaires by 47 in the country.” This is true because a person who did not even have a second car, all of a sudden owns a helicopter. A person who did not have a second suit, now only wears Pierre Cardin. They used to buy suits from River Road that looked like gunia s, but they are now wearing Pierre Cardin suits, which have been bought using public money. We must strengthen the institutions of governance in this ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you and the nation and on behalf of myself and my family, the people of Bungoma and the FORD Kenya fraternity to give our condolences to the families of our departed brother Hon. Ken Okoth, the MP for Kibera Constituency and Mama Joyce Laboso, the Governor of Bomet County. Hon. Ken Okoth brought life and gusto to youthful leadership in this country in general and Nairobi in particular. Representing a complex constituency like Kibera was not easy yet he did it with ease. He was popular, amiable, successful and, above all, a friend ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: . You guys have come to Bomet. You have been amused by the presence of huge crowds, the votes will come---” view

• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, defeating Hon. Isaac Ruto was not easy. Hon. Isaac Ruto was an institution and had a huge stature politically in this country, but Joyce made mincemeat of him and won the seat. We salute her. May the good Lord rest her soul in eternal peace. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the whole country is talking about cancer. As Sen. Murkomen said, the issue of cancer should not just be left to the Ministry of Health only, but all inter-governmental agencies involved in the lives of the people should bring about awareness on the question of eating the right diet ... view
