• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.110(i). You ordered Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to state the Standing Order under which he challenged Sen. Murkomen. That was the order from the Chair. Instead, he has come up with a lot of stories. He is abusing the privileges. He is very disorderly; violating the procedure of the Senate. Is he in order? Is he not grossly showing misconduct to this House? view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the plight of the Makonde people in this country actually is a shame. Looking at our first post-Independence Constitution which was drafted by our fore fathers like Jomo Kenyatta and Hon. Martin Shikuku, it recognised this fact. It provided that all foreigners who were living in Kenya at Independence Day would automatically become Kenya citizens if they applied. That is the constitution. If you look at Article (15)(2) of the current Constitution, it is constantly abused by the Government to communities such as the Kuria, the Somalis and others. We have women who have been married to ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Vice-Chairperson tell us whether the police force in this country is properly trained on crime scene preservation, protection and analysis? Why is it that all bodies collected from such places like Tana River are just collected and that is the end of the case? Have police turned to be corpse collectors and nothing else? view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since our Standing Orders may not have guidance on what I am just about to ask, I will need your guidance. What would this House do if a Mover finds his seconder erratic and feels that he is not only hostile but also not worth the appointment to the duty? He may wish to withdraw the seconder and appoint another one. We need your direction on this. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the Statement as sought by Sen. Wetangula on causes of increased deaths in Western Kenya. I will not repeat the question as asked. Based on available data, Bungoma County has 179 sub-locations and the registered number of deaths for the year 2015--- view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Based on available data. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will table it. He has the Statement with him. I gave him a copy of my answer and he has the annex. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may quote the available data. However, I can table it because it is a lot. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the source is the Ministry of Health. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Based on available data from the Ministry of Health, Bungoma County has 179 sub-locations and the registered number of deaths for the year 2015 was 7,264. This translates to an average of 3.8 deaths per sub-location monthly. I have given a table which shows the same and comparison for the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Contrary to the information provided by Sen. Wetangula, a comparison of mortality patterns in the four years shows no significance variation or alarming development in 2015. An average of 15 deaths in a month per sub-location would translate to ... view
