• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ask this before the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation leaves the Chamber. 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
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: A big tragedy happened in Likoni Ferry sometime back. I requested for a Statement from the Committee on Roads and Transportation led by the able effervescent Senator of Kiambu, Sen. Wamatangi. I am aware that the Committee visited the Ferry to establish the status. However, we get worrying statements everyday about the status of the ferry. Recently, somebody sent me a picture of MV Harambee leaking a lot of water. This week, a bus was stuck at the ferry. It is important that you direct the Committee to tell us the status of those ferries. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that somebody can ban drones. They are actually called unmanned aircrafts. For me to know how the migration happens in the Maasai Mara, somebody followed the Wildebeest using a drone until the crossing. It is possible that, that person paid a lot of money for the licensing. That is a job you can give young men to do. Aerial photography is being done all over the world. To manage the traffic jam in Nairobi, we need aerial photography and drones to be able to fly over Uhuru Highway and identify where there ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition. It is unfortunate that clinical workers who are rendering what we would call critical service must resort to the Senate to seek our assistance for them to get a Collective Bargaining Agreement signed. Labour relations under Article 41 of the Constitution is a fundamental right for all workers; fair work, fair remuneration and fair pay for work done. They are not asking for this country or somebody in the Ministry to lend them a limb. They are just saying “pay us!” Fortunately, this Senate has one person who is ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know how true it is, but I read in one of the articles concerning something that will come up soon; that in fact, there is a proposal for a Health Commission and to take away the function of health from counties to national Government. If this happens, it is because the governors of this Republic have let us down and mismanaged the heath sector, which is a critical service. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: If there was ever a constitutional amendment that would make sense, it would ring-fence the budget for health, so that governors and the executives whether it is at the national who do not behave any better--- It is sad to live in a country where Kshs2.9 billion and Kshs1.2 billion respectively is set aside to pay interns, and it is not paid to them. Where does this money go to? It goes to private hands. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: The ad hoc Committee on the Managed Equipment Services (MES) has verified that we have wasted billions of shillings buying stretchers and beds that are not needed. The brightest students in our medical schools have become doctors and nurses, and they are being mistreated. It is only in a primitive country where you behave like that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 13 Nov 2019 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
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in view of your direction, the prayers that were sought, part of them where summaries are being sought, I thought it would be appropriate to truncate this Petition into two. Where there are immediate issues, the Chairperson can possibly inform the Senate before we go for our Christmas holidays whether these people have been paid. To tell them to come after 60 days is to tell them to go and sleep hungry over Christmas. I do not think it would be fair to them. That would defeat the purpose of having an efficient Senate and Committee on ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As much as I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Ali, I do not agree with his remark that there are Statements and Petitions from nowhere. I do not think it is in order to suggest that they have come from nowhere, because there are no strangers in this House. Thank you. view
