• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: the car, as I was coming. I can tell you that it was a good and powerful Speech. Your passion came out very clearly for the task that is at hand. I can only wish you well and Godspeed. Indeed, we have a task as young leaders to fill that space for the youth; to guide them and make sure their space is kept and made use of. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: One thing I can tell you is that when I joined the Senate as a Nominated Senator, like you, I was told by my senior, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to make sure that I find something that I will run with, and I will always be remembered for as a Nominated Senator. I will give you the same advice. You have already been told a lot. We have our new senior members who will guide you, so speak to them. You will begin to appreciate the way the House is balanced with the young and the elderly and that there ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: I must say that I took note of your passion for mental health for the young people. Our young people are the most affected by mental health, especially post COVID-19. We have a lot of work to do. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the Health (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 26 Of 2020). It is good that one of the health professionals has brought this Bill to the Floor of the House.

(Dr.) Ali for this timely Bill. I had an opportunity to interact with the doctors when I chaired the Ad-Hoc Committee on COVID-19. They were shocked that whereas we thought that ... view

• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: two, the issues were the same across board; issues to do with promotion, remuneration and over working. After listening to all the issues that were raised by the doctors, I can clearly see where Sen. (Dr.) Ali is going with this proposal. The Kenya Human Health Resource Advisory Council will stand in place of a commission to help the doctor address pressing issues. We cannot understate the fact that human resource is the biggest resource that our country has. It is the single most critical component in any organization or body. A Government that cares for its people must prioritize ... view

• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: I commend and thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for this Bill. Being a doctor, of course, you understand these challenges and you are at least giving us a mechanism. Without the Commission that was proposed in the amendments to the Constitution, then this can be a stopgap measure. However, I agree with Senators that it needs to have the teeth so that it can function. We need to make sure that there is budgetary allocation and link it properly to the county governments. That way, county governments and the national Government can then work together to ensure smooth coordination of the ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 47 (1) to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern, namely, the Joint Observation Mission of presidential, parliamentary and local government elections in Zambia by the Forum of Parliaments for Member States of the ICGLR. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the FPICGLR had the privilege to participate in a Joint Election Observer Mission in Zambia between 5th and 16th August, 2021 alongside UN, AU, COMESA and other election monitoring groups. The delegation from Kenya comprised Members of FPICGLR drawn from both Houses of Parliament and led by the ... view
