• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that protection. My attention is also drawn to the conditional grants in the Third Schedule, for example, the one on transforming health systems for universal care, a project by the World Bank and another by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) on the universal healthcare in the devolved system programme. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this adds to the amount of money that is allocated directly to counties on health. I ask that counties ring fence health funds so that the monies for health are not available for anything else other that health. The ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion by the worthy Senator for Kirinyaga, Sen. Kibiru. The value of trees cannot be underrated. I remember when we were in primary school, there was a lot of talk about planting trees, especially by the former President Daniel Moi. We recited poems in schools and in music festivals asking people to plant trees. We learnt that trees are water catchment areas, and they provide timber and furniture. They are also good for medicine and food, especially fruits as outlined in this Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: think twice because the entry to the town has announced what is important to it; that is environmental protection. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion and urge that we go beyond just passing it and see that it is fully implemented. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to support the delay of debate on this Bill because initially, we wanted a report on the criteria to be used in delimitation. However, from what I have heard, it should not just be the criteria that we brought to Parliament but the report on the alterations and even the naming of the constituencies. Knowing that we have politicians in Parliament, it will almost be impossible for that report to be passed. Therefore, we will be taking the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) back. Secondly, I would like to state that the ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw the second point but my first point still remains. I support the delay because I thought that we were looking at a report on the criteria and not the brief on the delimitations. I thank you. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I had completed making my contribution. view
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Even one minute is fine because I just want to talk about one thing that happened at the CSW; that this country has not picked it up on women. This is on a special category of women called widows and how they are treated when they lose their husbands. They go through frustrations and problems in the hands of the families of their husbands, especially on the issues of property inheritance, especially land. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Once a husband dies, the widow and her children have problems accessing land documentation like title deeds. As we know, you can do so much with a title deed. You can get a loan and do business even after your husband has passed on. Widows suffer a lot because they do not have documentation of assets like land from which they can grow their families that have been left behind. That special category of women needs attention from our Government and we should not just leave it to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and churches to handle. The Government needs to set ... view
