• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in my reply, that will be recorded and I am sure that the Committee on Implementation when they are forwarding the report to the implementers will include that summary of the expression in the House during the debate. 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
• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I get your point and I fully support it .Just two more points. In implementation, I would like to support and underscore Sen. Keter’s observations that the Airline adopted the issue of outsourcing labour as a way of avoiding labour unions which is unconstitutional. In the Report, we have pointed that fact that you cannot outsource simply to avoid labour law unions. All workers under this Republic have the constitutional right to join a union. Even if it is painful to their employers, it is their right and no step should be taken by an employer ... view

• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution is an extremely important document. We should not be in a hurry to implement it in a shoddy manner. The CIC does not set the agenda; Parliament does. The Committee is there to referee what Parliament does and make sure that it is in line with the Constitution. So, if 18 laws have not been passed, it is not a mistake of the CIC.It is a shortcoming in Parliament. Therefore, what is being asked for is more time for the CIC to exist while Parliament is doing its work and presenting the law so ... view

• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson of the Committee on Education, my friend, Sen. Karaba, has drawn your attention to the presence in the gallery behind you of students from St. Elizabeth Bar Korwa Girls’ Primary School in Kisumu County, who are visiting the National Assembly and the Senate today. I had already communicated to the Clerk to the extent that we should give due recognition to these 70 pupils from St. Elizabeth Bar Korwa Girls’ Primary School. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to caution the House about the advice that it is giving to the Committee on Health on this issue. I think it will be foolhardy to expect the Health Committee to go around every county and find out what the health problems are. They will spend the rest of their time in this Senate just doing that. My advice, having been Minister for Medical Services is that these doctors, nurses and pharmacists have their associations and unions who are based in Nairobi who really know the problems. Mr. ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for officially welcoming St. Elizabeth Bar Korwa Girls Primary School from my county, which is prosperous and does well. They have been in the National Assembly for three days and we expect to be with them for the whole week. I welcome and thank them. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In the Bible it is said that you should not remove a speck from your neighbour’s eye if you have one in your eyes. Even workers in our offices have not been paid for three months. Why are we more concerned about salaries of other people, when workers in our offices are suffering? We are about to go on Christmas and they have had no salaries for three months. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. I hope the Senate listens to me carefully on this issue. Is the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Health aware that before I left the Ministry, we had developed a policy and a Bill on the National Ambulatory and Emergency Services which will address the questions that Senators Kagwe and Mbuvi have raised? If so, why is it that we are trying to reinvent the wheel when there is already a comprehensive National Ambulatory and Emergency Services Bill and policy that the Ministry should be implementing? Further, this Committee should ... view
