• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to speak to the next matter but I--- view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Yes. I can speak on this matter. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: I must thank my colleague, the Senator for Nairobi City County, for bringing up this matter. Most of us were shocked to read in the media that over 4000 doctors are unemployed yet the Government has spent a lot of resources to train these doctors. They are also not allowed to seek jobs elsewhere. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: This is a serious issue considering the shortage of medical staff in our hospitals. We cannot be having doctors who are trained, not able to work or travel. It is a serious matter. The Statement by Sen. Sifuna should be taken seriously by the Committee on Health and a report brought to this House so that we discuss this matter of national concern.

• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had the benefit to look at the detailed orders issued by the court. In your Communication, you have somehow alluded to that court order being part of the documents guiding your decision this afternoon. However, one important issue is that the detailed order seems to suggest that this House reviews the decision it has made in regard to the Senate Business Committee (SBC).
