• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Senate Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the delayed compensation of persons affected by the construction of Kibwezi-Kitui-Kabati-Migwani (B7) Road. In the Statement, the Committee should provide the following - (1) A list of persons whose land was acquired for the construction of the Kibwezi- Kitui-Kabati-Migwani (B7) Road, indicating the acreage of the land acquired from each person and the award due to each person. (2) Explain why over 400 persons whose land was acquired have not been compensated ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. I began the debate and, fortunately, I am a prayerful Kenyan. This morning we have received very disturbing statistics. I just want to highlight some of the statistics, just to demonstrate how bad this situation is. The doctor who presented this to us this morning has these statistics, which I want to read. Mammography, Breast Cancer Stage 3, Kshs3,000; ultrasound, Kshs3,000; biopsy, Kshs15,000; histology, Kshs18,000; CT scan, Kshs16,000; surgery, Kshs80,000; chemotherapy, Kshs160,000; radiotherapy, Kshs100,000; hormonal therapy, Kshs150,000; incidentals and logistics, Kshs100,000. The total is Kshs650,000. Those are the figures ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: authority that cancer can be managed without chemotherapy. I said yesterday that I know a lady who has been treated without chemotherapy. She does not want to disclose the name of her doctor who feels that if he was to be disclosed, his life would be in danger. Why would that be so? Apparently, chemotherapy is a money-making venture. So, we should not only declare this a national disaster. We were told this morning that according to the policy, the biggest problem about this disease is early detection and management before it becomes an issue. In the cases of our ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, instead of complaining too much about this scourge, we can do something about those Kenyans who are walking around. As we were told this morning, people are going for treatment for chest, leg pains or arthritis but it is early cancer which has never been detected or treated. Can we speak about this matter a little more openly? I have said before that I was saddened to hear that some of our colleagues in this House are being treated for these diseases yet we do not know. Can we be bold enough just like our brother, hon. ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: I support. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with Sen. Olekina that this Statement is necessary but it is also very dangerous. I am not sure whether Kenya is prepared to deal with the truth of what Sen. Malalah is asking. The truth is that, just like in the Book of John 8.26, the majority of public service employment is centred around tribes of people who have occupied the Presidency. This is a fact. I am not sure once we get this information, what we are supposed to do about it. Therefore, as we interrogate this issue through ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not danger to the extent that you need to wear a helmet or have a bodyguard. The information is dangerous to the extent that once you know the tribes of the people who occupy these positions; do you remove them from those positions and give others? Are we going to condemn people who are in office because of their tribe? It is a question in the mind. What will you do with this information once it is given? You find people from the same tribe being listed from number one to 20. Will you ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to pass my condolences on behalf of my family and the people of Makueni County to the family of the late hon. Ken Okoth and the late Governor (Dr.) Joyce Laboso. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Our minds will never forget a picture that circulated of the late hon. Ken Okoth and one of colleagues, Sen. Sakaja, whom I would like to thank now that he is seated in front of me. At the last function that the late hon. Ken Okoth and Sen. Sakaja attended together, they shared hugs and warmth that will be eked in our minds for a long time. I thank Sen. Sakaja for supporting our brother during his time of need when he was most frail. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there could be Members of this House who are battling the same disease that the two leaders were fighting. I wish that we could discuss this matter a little more openly so that we can help the people whom we can when we are alive. People should not suffer in silence. More importantly, during the burial of our late colleague, the Senator for Migori, we said that it is time to set aside our differences as leaders and talk about this matter a little more deeply. Ordinary Kenyans cannot afford the medical care in relation to cancer. view
