• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: place, so that we get a better prices or what we call economies of scale and that the quality of this equipment is standardized. I was previously in the Committee on Health. We went around hospitals inspecting the equipment procured through this scheme. I want to confirm that much of the equipment that was in these hospitals was working. I want to specify on the dialysis machines. In almost all these hospitals, dialysis machines were working properly and were well maintained. Reagents came when they were required. In fact, if there was any breakdown of any machine, it was sorted ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my main interest and why I am happy today is that the country is having a conversation on this issue of women, especially women in leadership. My focus is mainly on why we are in this position in the first place. For a long time, the country has not been able to elect women into Parliament. That is where the problem is and our focus should be; how should we deal with the cultural issues that prevent fellow women from voting for women leaders? What cultural issues prevent men from voting for women leaders? That is ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank all those who are thanking the people who brought us to this stage. I want to start by stating that when we started this clamour for more funds to the counties, very many people did not believe that it was possible. In fact, at some point I was being called the Kshs348 billion girl. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Every time I passed by Sen. Murkomen or Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., that is the name they referred to me as. It seemed like something that was so farfetched, but the principle behind that proposal was the fact that the national Government is holding 85 per cent of the national revenue and giving counties only 15 per cent. We need more of the monies from the 85 per cent, following the functions that have already been devolved to the counties. We have functions that are devolved, but funds are still at the national level. Those are the funds we were ... view

• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I join my colleague and thank him for this Statement on this border issue with Maseno. I as well condemn what Governor (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o did knowing very well the issues that are abounding in Maseno. I spent four years in Maseno and that issue is a time bomb. My friend and village-mate Ted Malanda describes what Governor (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o has done as watching your neighbour dress and take your wife to the salon your just because he is better endowed. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Just because Kisumu County is a City, it thinks that it can lord it over Vihiga County on the Maseno issue. The residents of Vihiga County might be humble and peaceful because they are people of ‘ Mulembe,’ but that does not mean that they should be ‘sat on’ by Kisumu County. Vihiga County should not be looked down upon by Kisumu County because it is a small county. I condemn the actions of Kisumu County. view
