• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I laud Sen. (Dr.) Mbito from Trans Nzoia County for raising this matter. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: This is the highest order of rigging. Life is being rigged now, and the effects of this rigging will be seen in future. It is not just about schools, but also the access to information or empowerment of our people in terms of accessing knowledge all over the world. Knowledge has become global, as we know about globalisation. In order to access it, you need to access ICT or Information Technology (IT), if you like. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: What we are not observing or addressing in this question is that since 2013 when the Jubilee Administration came to power, there was the hype about access to IT all over the nation. In 2013/2014 and 2015/2016 Financial Years, money was allocated in the budget. Even the current Budget has an IT component. The question that must accompany the response here is: How much money has been put in the entire IT budget and how has it been shared? I represent a place called Ntimaru and Motemorabu in Kuria; Migingo, which Ugandans are trying to run away with; and, Agolo-Muok ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: The pertinent question that must also accompany the response that we are seeking is how we have shared our IT cake since 2013 in constituencies and counties. We can then know if the sharing is not rigged. I have an inkling and attended another meeting that certain counties keep getting money as others keep swallowing saliva when resources are shared. IT is the future. If you do not access it, I can assure you that you are in deep trouble. Your people cannot research or access knowledge. I request Sen. (Dr.) Mbito to also include in the Statement how we ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity again to address this very serious matter. First, I want to congratulate my sister, Sen. Dullo, and for the record, Sen. Dullo and I, were in the same masters class at the University of Nairobi. I am proud of the issue that she has brought, which is an issue of national concern and a matter of life and death. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Allow me to react to some statistics that have been availed by Sen. Sakaja. He has highlighted a few counties that, in his view or that of his Committee, are the neediest. It is not possible to talk about Homa Bay, Kisii, Nyamira, Narok, Kisumu and Siaya counties without talking about Migori. We are the same people. If it is the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and sickness, we share the same environment and suffering. The gravity of the matter in Kisii is as grave as elsewhere in Kenya. I want to correct that it is important to devolve resources as ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I visited Migori County and interacted with the people before the invasion of COVID-19, they said that it is a Chinese problem. They then modified the statement and said it is a Nairobi problem, which seems to be what the Government is hearing. As we deal with Nairobi and the urban areas, our areas of vulnerabilities are the border cities or towns. For example, the COVID-19 will keep entering or exiting Kenya through Busia and Malaba border points. If you look at Migori, we have border places like Muhuru Bay, Kopanga, Isebania, Motemurabu, Ntimaru and ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: The infections we get in Migori are from those places. As we talk about allocation of resources to deal with COVID-19, which is the question my sister has raised, are we investing in those places of vulnerability? The COVID-19 pandemic will continue coming into Kenya through Tanzania. It will invade us through Namanga, Isebania and the places I have mentioned. It will invade us through Lunga Lunga. Are we sending money or how much money has been sent to protect us from our vulnerable spots? We may be progressing in terms of looking at how to deal with people in ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: In the response to this Statement, we want to know how much money have been sent to ensure we are secure in Migori, Mandera, Taita-Taveta, Kajiado and Busia counties. We may hide in Nairobi thinking that we are safe, but what about those people when they get infected? They will come to Nairobi, go to Kisii, Homa Bay and all other places. Nobody is safe. COVID-19 is a disease that does not respect cities, status, tribe or The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: anything. The more we want to deal with it, we must do so from the distant vulnerable places, which is not being done. view
