• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, alongside the very good Statement sought by Sen. Njoroge, the Vice-Chairperson in so doing, should tell the House and the country how many mega dam projects are being undertaken in this country and at what cost. There is general talk that exaggerated figures are being put on dams. One just blocks a river and gets a reservoir behind it and we are told it costs Kshs10 billion to Kshs20 billion. We would like to know how many dams are being constructed, at what cost and in which parts of the country. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and other colleagues in welcoming the distinguished delegation from South Sudan. Like my colleagues have said, Kenya played a critical role in hosting and championing the process of bringing peace between South Sudan and the Republic of Sudan which led to independence. As we do so, it is our wish that normalcy, peace and tranquility are restored in the Republic of South Sudan through magnanimous and selfless conduct of the leaders of that country, particularly President Salva Kiir Mayardit and Dr. Riek Machar. As an incoming president of this country, I want to assure ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Machage on his election to chair the Standing Committee on Health. I am told that he is the new Chairperson. I regret to know that he is starting on a very false note, by reading an answer that is clearly inaccurate and not well thought out. Many of us who represent rural counties, especially those that are densely populated know that the majority of deaths are not registered. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am seeking a clarification. Many of the deaths in the rural areas are not registered. Therefore, the statistics he is giving us are of those who are registered. However, the majority are not registered. People just die in the villages and the families dispose of the bodies the following day or two days later. Could the Chairman tell this House and the country whether the increased levels of deaths, not just in Bungoma but many counties, is because of uncoordinated policy implementation, drug supply, poor motivation of health workers and, above all, corruption where drugs which ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, the Chairman has not responded to the explanation I sought on the lack of registration of deaths in many rural counties. The statistics he has given us, if they The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished nominated Senator who read the answer happens to have a background not only as a lawyer but was working with the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC) where such cases were prevalent. Is what she has read to this House a reckless misadventure or Government policy? If this prisons officer discharged the firearm and blinded a young school girl and ballistic tests have been done, why would the Chair tell us that an inquiry file has been opened instead of prosecuting this officer and compensating the family of this student forthwith, given that she has ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, respect is earned and not demanded. I was here long before this young man came into the Chamber. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: I appreciate, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I go to the Bill, I want to state that decorum is very important in life. Anyway, Kimaiyo is waiting for him! view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have read through this Bill and I am not sure what my distinguished sister, Sen. Elachi, wants to achieve. We had a good politician in this country called Martin Shikuku. When retired President Moi started a clarion call everywhere saying ‘peace, love and unity,’ with total abundance, the late Shikuku said in simple terms that if there is justice in society, peace, love and unity will be automatic. Where there is no social justice, it matters not how many commissions or projects we will put in place or how much we shall police the State. ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: I am saying that the absence of social justice is what brings conflict. That is why Sen. Elachi is trying to scratch the surface by saying we create peace building projects. If I have to answer what she has challenged, things speak for themselves. Lang’ata Road Primary School is there, you can check. Eurobond is there, you can check; the National Youth Service (NYS) is there. You can check. The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is there, you can check. view
