• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank my brother, Sen. Haji for giving a Statement on the security situation as demanded by Sen. Ndiema. Having been a Provincial Commissioner, I believe Sen. Haji appreciates security problems in western Kenya where he was a PC for a long time. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want him to clarify why, after the attacks in Muroki in Kitale, where five people were brutally murdered, to date we have seen no prosecutions. Even after the Mabanga meeting in Bungoma that he talks about and which I attended as one of the leadership in the area, three days later, a prominent old man, a former clerk to our county council, Mzee George Masinde was brutally attacked at 8.00 p.m. as he was having his dinner at Nalondo Market. This is just 200 metres away from the AP Camp. He was brutally murdered. He ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this weekend, at Chwele Market a watchman at a shop was brutally murdered using sharp weapons, perhaps, njoras or pangas. There are no arrests. These security issues run through Kakamega, Busia, Trans Nzoia and Bungoma counties. We keep hearing that new police officers will be posted there. We have also heard of promises of cars--- view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: I am doing so, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when will we get adequate police officers properly equipped with cars, not VW Passats, vehicles that can run through the terrain of western Kenya so that our people can also be protected by the Government? As you know, western Kenya has no roads, all the roads are in Central Kenya. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I enjoin Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that the good Chairman of the Committee has just made general statements and thanked us for raising issues, but without addressing them. I want to plead with the Chair that the Chairman be given an opportunity to bring a more comprehensive Statement. We have asked why there are no prosecutions, no arrests, no police vehicles and so on, but he has not addressed that. We thank you for thanking us, but we want answers. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to congratulate, Sen. Catherine, for bringing this Motion. This Motion captures a very broad picture of what Kenyans go through. Madam Temporary Speaker, from the outset, we have very good doctors and nurses in this country who do a very good job. The nurses, in fact, do much more medical work than even doctors. But what happens is that there is a small percentage of either ill- trained, reckless, negligent or just careless medics who cause a lot of harm to Kenyans. Recently, I met a very good friend of mine who we were with ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: the operation theatre, misoperated the patient and left her for dead. There have been many Kenyans who have gone to theatres for operations and doctors leave hypodermic needles, cotton pads and all manner of materials in their bodies. A clear case is the famous Luhya man called Ngaira, who was I think the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Public Service Commission at Independence. He was taken to hospital, operated on and the doctor left a pair of scissors in his tummy and closed it. The man died. Sen. G. G Kariuki remembers that. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is why when ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: legs and the doctors mis-join the operation. Such people walk out of hospital with a limb two inches shorter. Those people are entitled to redress where such cases happen. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to urge the Senate that we devolve these facilities down to the counties. We are not encouraging patients to handle their doctors with suspicion; that every doctor is capable of taking you the wrong way. But where it happens, the law should be very firm and clear, and come down hard on such erring professionals. It is the only way that we can instill sanity and ... view
