• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have absolute confidence and trust in the abilities of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. He is level headed, lacks obvious bias and has the ability to preside over the proceedings of this House. In fact, he is a stranger in the palace where he sits. I want to second that he can sit on the Chair and execute his responsibilities in addition to those of being the king of the Pokot people of this country. view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me also to hail the two patriotic citizens from Nyamira County for the petition. I want to point out that the Committee that will deal with this petition will have an opportunity to make a general finding that the reason citizens are finding way as they are entitled to under the Constitution to the House of their representatives in the Senate or National Assembly, is because of the ineffectiveness and/or inability of the institutions of governance in the country in fighting corruption. We have the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am afraid. As I thank the Chairman for bringing this statement, he has made very little attempt to respond to the issues I raised. This project is described as supply of specialised medical equipment for hospitals. My first clarification I seek from the Chairman is to tell this House and the country whether the following listed supplies are specialised equipment to the hospitals:- K-Nail set, bladder washout set, catheterization set, cut down sets for adults, incision and excisional biopsy sets, incision tray, stitch removing set, E.N.T. general set, foreign body (ear/nose) set, myringotomy set, tonsillectomy ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I watched very keenly, as I enumerated these issues, and could even see that as the Chair you were a bit surprised. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Machage to make a general statement that every bit of equipment on this list is specialized? There is not anybody in this Chamber, probably including our guests in the Public Gallery, who have never visited a hospital and seen ordinary refrigerators in which they keep blood, water The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge you not to let the distinguished Senator, who is the Chairperson, to get away with such outrageous answers. He should not frighten the House that he will need three hours to answer; we have that time if we have to save the country Kshs28 billion that is being sunk in this project. We have to save the country’s Kshs28 billion that is being sank in this project. view

• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully agree with the suggestion of the distinguished Senator of Vihiga County, Sen. Khaniri. In the event that you see sense in the request and stand down the answer, we should not lose sight of the fact that the Chairperson, in his boisterous answering has forgotten that I also asked for prices of equipment. If he says that these things such as refrigerator, spotlights and so on are specialized equipment, we want to know the unit price of each. This is because you will find that a fridge that costs between Kshs60,000 to Kshs70,000 in ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Chairman concedes inadequacy of his answer, he cannot get away with an allegation that we do not understand. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you and I know – I will speak for myself, you and Sen. Madzayo as lawyers – that when doctors get embroiled in professional misconduct, they come to us to defend them. When engineers design faulty bridges – we are not engineers – they come to us to defend them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is he in order to make such a callous and general statement that ... view

• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is strange. The House should expect that by the time the Chairperson of the Committee comes to the House with a Statement, he has read through it and understood. How conceivable is it that you stand on the Floor and cannot even read the Statement that you are carrying from your office or wherever? This is very strange and does not reflect well on the image of this House. view
