• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to render my support to Sen. Nobwola on this important and timely Motion she has brought to the Floor of the House. Just to capture precisely the spirit of this Motion and indeed see for ourselves if we were to capture the real sights and images that Sen. Nobwola must have seen and imagined in her mind to come up with this Motion. You only need to pay a visit to the only two referral hospitals in this country, the first being KNH. If you go to KNH at any time of ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: I have personal stories that I can tell that are not only personal but stories that I have evidenced as a politician and as a Kenyan. If only to bring to perspective what my thoughts are, I will cite two to three cases that I have experienced and doing so, acknowledge that this problem has not spared anybody. It has not spared the rich, the poor, the mighty, the renowned or anybody. We have several cases in this country. Most recently, we had the case of one prominent Kenyan, Commissioner Letangule, who lost his wife in very wanting circumstances, due ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: diagnosis. To cut the story short, that evening, she ended up at the MP Shah Hospital after she developed complications. That is the kind of fate Kenyans have to deal with. I understand where Sen. Mukite is coming from. I understand and feel what she is saying. We have been told that in the medical professional, there are boards that cater for most issues; from dentistry and other issues. We also know that in this country that when professionals make a mistake, they have a tendency of going to hide behind the boards. When a Kenyan loses his or her ... view

• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Is the distinguished Senate Leader of Minority of the House in order to mislead this House and I am on record as having raised this issue so many times, that the people of Kiambu are not enjoying anything? We suffer like every other Kenyan. The only thing that we can be envied for is working hard. Is he in order? view

• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I would like to begin by flagging off and highlighting one issue. I would like to inform my colleagues at the Senate that, indeed, our discussion and subsequent passage of this Bill is flagging ourselves to take on the most important journey and mandate of this House as bestowed upon us by the Constitution in Article 96. That is the role of oversight. It is also worth noting that in the role of oversight, we will need a clear roadmap and guidance to execute it ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to impute by his statement that 39 communities out of 42 communities have been left out of all the appointments of Principal Secretaries? That is implying that only two communities have been appointed to the positions, and he knows that, that is not the correct position. Is he in order to mislead the House? The truth is out there that the people who have been appointed as Principal Secretaries are not from three communities. It is important for this House to uphold not only ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will be very brief, but it is also important that the statements that are made here by Senators must be statements of fact. They should be statements that when one chooses to make them, as a Senator, he can refer to them and they can also be believed by the country. Now, when Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale says that Kakamega is more populous than Kiambu; he intentionally knows that he is not stating a fact as a Senator in this country. Kiambu is more populous than Kakamega! view
• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: (Spoke off record) The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the very thoughtful and timely Motion moved by Sen. Elachi. Madam Temporary Speaker, at this time in our country, the least that can be said is about the place that the youth of this country need to be in. As we speak now, this country has a population of just over 40 million and out of that population, more than 25 million Kenyans are young people; and more than half of that number are within the bracket of the young people who are targeted by this Motion and who qualify in ... view
