• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to add my voice to the Statement by Sen. Khaniri on the delay or withholding of funds to counties by the national Treasury. The two main functions and, unfortunately, these are part of the Big Four Agenda – health and agriculture – are devolved functions. Listening to my colleagues here saying what we have always said here, that devolution is systematically under attack, because healthcare is the nerve centre of devolution. If the sector is affected by withholding of funds then, in essence, we are fighting devolution. It has been said ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: it has been declared or recommended that the UHC will be implemented in the model of Primary Healthcare System. Primary Healthcare is basically devolution. We are talking about community health centres, dispensaries and community health workers, which are all devolved functions. A big percentage of health funds is going to be allocated to the Primary Healthcare model. Therefore, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I say that devolution is under attack, it is basically that. The Government is eating itself by attacking the healthcare system. If we are saying that the President’s legacy is going to be based on the Big ... view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to deal with the affirmative action issue because we have had this problem several times. We can deduce from here that many of the teachers in the North Eastern region are non-locals and that should be addressed. We should have more local than non-local teachers so that education is not interfered with in any way. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that Sen. Ndwiga served as a Minister in the Ministries of Co-operative as well as Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. He is a body of knowledge on these issues. It is worth listening to him. view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As we discuss this issue, Sen. Cherargei needs to be told in uncertain terms from the Chair that he needs to--- view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Yes, he needs to be told, in no uncertain terms from the Chair, that the Senators in this House who are ladies are here by right, and they know what they are doing in this House. He should, therefore, desist from any kind of talk that discriminates Senators in this House. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: What is new is the way it is being used. I am just trying to refer to Sen. (Eng.) Hargura’s comment, on how we should be referred to. Yes, we have male and female Members in this House, but when it is used to impute discrimination and to demean the person then we will not accept it. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion ably moved by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve on the creation of Para Sports associations in the 47 counties. The role of sports in the society cannot be ignored. It is not just at the national, but also international level. Other than ensuring we have us physical health, sports have a feel-good effect on the people that participate.
