• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion from the outset. I have read this motion, its findings as well as recommendations; this is a very good report and I wish that the next trip that this Committee should be going to, should be to other counties which have been forgotten by all the regimes in this country. The hospitals or the counties which have been listed here have had a very favorable time during the 24 years of President Moi’s rule; that is why you hear them calling themselves Level Four and ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Even in Samburu, we do not also have any medicine. Therefore, that is one request I would like to make to the Committee. The other recommendation, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is that they should also have come out saying that, at least, every district or county hospital should have a certain number of ambulances. Our people are suffering; some health centres which are about 50 or 100 kilometres away and which were built by the President under the Economic Stimulus Programme when President Uhuru was the Minister for Finance have not, up to now, been opened. The buildings are there, ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I have been sitting here since 2.30 pm. All my colleagues, some senior, some junior to me--- Dr. Khalwale is my junior and should know I am his senior in politics although he likes referring to others as his juniors – talking about the suffering of the MCAs. I do not want to repeat, but I think they have become a source of mockery. When you go down there, you will find people referring to them as waheshimiwa and yet, they have no money in ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that. The SRC is only targeting politicians; people who have been elected from the grassroots level to work as Senators and hon. Members. You have not even earned your responsibility allowance because of her. Or have you? view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am the Chairman of the committee that takes care of the welfare of Members of Parliament. For the last two months, we have been seeking to have an appointment with the SRC. I do not want not to mention my sister Sarah Serem. We wanted to set sitting allowances for you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, the Whips, for the Senate Majority Leader and for the Senators, but we have failed. The SRC has, however, given leeway to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to set their allowances at Kshs80,000 per sitting while the SRC people earn Kshs40,000 ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: politicians. We are responsible leaders who have been elected more than three or four times. If we are irresponsible, the people of Kenya would not have elected us. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, I would like to thank Sen. Elachi for bringing this Motion albeit a bit late, but I think it is timely. We need to move fast and even see the chief executive of this country so that devolution is not killed just because SRC has refused to evaluate the work of the MCAs. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important and timely Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would want to urge my good friend, Sen. Karaba, that he should separate the cable cars and trams. Because of the infrastructure that we require, we need a policy that will tell us when to introduce trams, so that people within the central business area and the outskirts could easily access the city and move out. Samburu is one of the counties with a good potential for tourist sites. I ... view
